140 16128 Sahih Muslim 44 6222 The Book Pertaining to the Excellent Qualities of the Holy Prophet (may Peace be upon them) and His - كتاب الفضائل "20022 11269" حدثني أبو الربيع العتكي، حدثنا حماد، حدثنا ثابت، قال سئل أنس بن مالك عن خضاب النبي، صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال لو شئت أن أعد شمطات كن في رأسه فعلت ‏.‏ وقال لم يختضب وقد اختضب أبو بكر بالحناء والكتم واختضب عمر بالحناء بحتا ‏.‏ " Thabit reported that Anas b. Malik was asked about the dyeing (of the hair of) Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him). 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 however dyed them and so did 'Umar dye them with pure henna."
