ahmad:13263Abū Saʿīd > al-Muthanná > Qatādah > Anas

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ never dyed his hair black. Instead, he had whiteness in the front part of his beard, on his temples, and on his head, which was barely noticeable. And indeed, Abu Bakr dyed his hair with henna."  

أحمد:١٣٢٦٣حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُثَنَّى عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَخْضِبْ قَطُّ إِنَّمَا كَانَ الْبَيَاضُ فِي مُقَدَّمِ لِحْيَتِهِ وَفِي الْعَنْفَقَةِ وَفِي الرَّأْسِ وَفِي الصُّدْغَيْنِ شَيْئًا لَا يَكَادُ يُرَى وَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَضَبَ بِالْحِنَّاءِ

[Machine] "It is narrated that the Prophet ﷺ never dyed his hair. Rather, his beard had some whiteness in the front, and there were only a few grey strands in his sideburns. There was a small amount of grey on his head that could hardly be seen. Al-Muthanna and As-Sudghayn also mentioned this."
