Hadith #51567
عَن ثابتٍ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ عَنْ خِضَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: لَوْ شِئْتَ أَنْ أَعُدَّ شَمَطَاتٍ كُنَّ فِي رَأْسِهِ فَعَلْتُ قَالَ: وَلَمْ يَخْتَضِبْ زَادَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ: وَقَدِ اخْتَضَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ وَاخْتَضَبَ عُمَرُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ بحتا
On the authority of Thabit, he said: Anas was asked about the dyeing of the Prophet’s hair, may God bless him and grant him peace, and he said: If I had wanted to, I could count the hairs, they would have been on his head. I did so. He said: And I did not. Zad dyed his hair in a narration: Abu Bakr dyed his hair with henna and katam, and Omar dyed his hair with pure henna.
