Hadith 6076

Sahih

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الْعَتَكِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ عَنْ خِضَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ فَقَالَ: «لَوْ شِئْتُ أَنْ أَعُدَّ شَمَطَاتٍ كُنَّ فِي رَأْسِهِ فَعَلْتُ»، وَقَالَ: لَمْ يَخْتَضِبْ «وَقَدِ اخْتَضَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ» وَاخْتَضَبَ عُمَرُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ بَحْتًا.

Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ was asked about the dyeing (of the hair of) Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌). Thereupon he said: (They were so few) that if I so liked I could count their number in his head, and he further said: (That is) he did not dye. Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ , however, dyed them and so did 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ dye them with pure henna.
