Muhammad bin Sirin reported,

Anas bin Malik was asked about the dyeing of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He replied, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had only a few grey hairs, but Abu Bakr and Umar after him used to dye their hair with henna and katam."He continued, "Abu Bakr brought his father Abu Quhafa to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of the conquest of Mecca, carrying him until he placed him before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Bakr, "If you had left the old man in his house, we would have come to him, as an honor to Abu Bakr."Then Abu Quhafa accepted Islam, and his beard and head were white like the thaghamah plant. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Change the color of these, but avoid black."

حدثنا محمد بن سلمة الحراني عن هشام

عن محمد بن سيرين قال

سئل أنس بن مالك عن خضاب رسول الله ﷺ فقال إن رسول الله ﷺ لم يكن شاب إلا يسيرا ولكن أبا بكر وعمر بعده خضبا بالحناء والكتم قال وجاء أبو بكر بأبيه أبي قحافة إلى رسول الله ﷺ يوم فتح مكة يحمله حتى وضعه بين يدي رسول الله ﷺ فقال رسول الله ﷺ لأبي بكر لو أقررت الشيخ في بيته لأتيناه مكرمة لأبي بكر فأسلم ولحيته ورأسه كالثغامة بياضا فقال رسول الله ﷺ غيروهما وجنبوه السواد
