Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ أَنَّ أَنَسًا سُئِلَ خَضَبَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ شَيْبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا كَانَ يَخْضِبُ وَلَوْ شِئْتُ أَنْ أَعُدَّ شَمَطَاتٍ كُنَّ فِي لِحْيَتِهِ لَفَعَلْتُ وَلَكِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ كَانَ يَخْضِبُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ وَكَانَ عُمَرُ يَخْضِبُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ.
English Translation
Yunus told us, Hammad - meaning Ibn Zayd - told us, from Thabit, that Anas was asked about the dyeing of the Prophet’s hair, peace and blessings be upon him. He said: "The gray hair of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, did not reach an amount that he would dye, and if I wished to count the gray hairs that were in his beard I could do so, but Abu Bakr used to dye with henna and katam, and ‘Umar used to dye with henna."
