abudawud:4210ʿAbd al-Raḥīm b. Muṭarrif Abū Sufyān > ʿAmr b. Muḥammad > Ibn Abū Rawwād > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

The Prophet ﷺ used to wear tanned leather sandals and dye his beard yellow with wars and saffron, and Ibn 'Umar used to do that too.  

أبو داود:٤٢١٠حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ مُطَرِّفٍ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَلْبَسُ النِّعَالَ السِّبْتِيَّةَ وَيُصَفِّرُ لِحْيَتَهُ بِالْوَرْسِ وَالزَّعْفَرَانِ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ  

abudawud:4211ʿUthmān b. Abū Shaybah > Isḥāq b. Manṣūr > Muḥammad b. Ṭalḥah > Ḥumayd b. Wahb > Ibn Ṭāwus > Ṭāwus > Ibn ʿAbbās

When a man who had dyed himself with henna passed by the Prophet ﷺ, he said: How fine this is! When another man who had dyed himself with henna and katam passed by, he said: This is better than that. Then another man who had dyed himself with yellow dye, passed by, he said: This is better than all that.  

أبو داود:٤٢١١حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

مَرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ قَدْ خَضَبَ بِالْحِنَّاءِ فَقَالَ مَا أَحْسَنَ هَذَا قَالَ فَمَرَّ آخَرُ قَدْ خَضَبَ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ فَقَالَ هَذَا أَحْسَنُ مِنْ هَذَا قَالَ فَمَرَّ آخَرُ قَدْ خَضَبَ بِالصُّفْرَةِ فَقَالَ هَذَا أَحْسَنُ مِنْ هَذَا كُلِّهِ
