Hadith 64
The Book of Adornment
It was narrated that Jabir said:
"Abu Quhafah was brought to the Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] and his head and beard were white like the Thaghamah. The Prophet (ﷺ) [ﷺ] said: 'Change this, or dye it.'"
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْحَارِثِ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَزْرَةُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَابِتٍ - عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِأَبِي قُحَافَةَ وَرَأْسُهُ وَلِحْيَتُهُ كَأَنَّهُ ثَغَامَةٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
غَيِّرُوا أَوِ اخْضِبُوا
