Description of dyeing hair
Hadith 714
اَخْبَرَنَا اَبُوْ عَامِرِ الْعَقَدِیُّ۔ عَبْدُالْمَلِكِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو۔ نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ، عَنْ حُمَیْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاؤُوْسٍ، عَنْ اِبْرَاهِیْمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ اَنَّ رَسُوْلَ اللّٰهِ صَلَّی اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ خَضَبَ بِالْحِنَّاءِ، فَقَالَ: مَا اَحْسَنَ هٰذَا، ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِاٰخَرَ قَدْ خَضَبَ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْکَتْمِ، فَقَالَ: هٰذَا اَحْسَنُ مِنْ هَذَا؟ ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِاٰخَرَ قَدْ خَضَبَ بِالصُّفْرَةِ، فَقَالَ: ہٰذَا اَحْسَنُ مِنْ هَذَا کُلِّهٖ۔ قَالَ: فَکَانَ طَاؤُوْسٌ یَخْضِبُ (بالصفرة).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a man who had dyed his hair with henna, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "How good this is." Then he passed by another man who had dyed his hair with henna and katam, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is better than that." Then he passed by another man who had dyed his hair yellow, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is the best of all of them." The narrator stated: Tawus (may Allah have mercy on him) used to dye his hair yellow.
