Hadith 13757

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : " لَمْ يَبْلُغْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الشَّيْبِ مَا يَخْضِبُهُ ، وَلَكِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَضَبَ رَأْسَهُ وَلِحْيَتَهُ ، حَتَّى يَقْنُوَ شَعْرُهُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ " .
Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I asked Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) use dye?" He replied, "That situation never arose; the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had only a few white hairs at his temples. However, Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) used to dye his hair with henna and katam."
