أحمد:١٢٠٥٤حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ

سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ هَلْ خَضَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَرَ مِنَ الشَّيْبِ إِلَّا نَحْوًا مِنْ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ أَوْ عِشْرِينَ شَعْرَةً فِي مُقَدَّمِ لِحْيَتِهِ وَقَالَ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَشِنْ بِالشَّيْبِ فَقِيلَ لِأَنَسٍ أَشَيْنٌ هُوَ؟ قَالَ كُلُّكُمْ يَكْرَهُهُ وَلَكِنْ خَضَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ وَخَضَبَ عُمَرُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ
