باب ما جاء فى شيب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلمChapter: What has been reported concerning the gray hair of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
The Number of His White Hairs
Hadith 39
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ، وَقَدْ سُئِلَ عَنْ شَيْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «كَانَ إِذَا دَهَنَ رَأْسَهُ لَمْ يُرَ مِنْهُ شَيْبٌ، وَإِذَا لَمْ يَدْهِنْ رُئِيَ مِنْهُ»
It is narrated from Simak bin Harb (may Allah have mercy on him), he says: I heard from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him), he was asked about the white hair of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) applied oil, his old age was not apparent, and when he did not apply oil, then some (white hair) could be seen from him.
