[Machine] I asked Anas ibn Malik if the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , dyed his hair. He said, "It did not reach your knowledge. He only had a few grey hairs on his temples. However, Abu Bakr used to dye his hair with henna and katam."  

أحمد:١٣٦٣٠حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ قَالَ

قُلْتُ لِأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَخَضَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ لَمْ يَبْلُغْذَلِكَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ شَيْئًا فِي صُدْغَيْهِ وَلَكِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَضَبَ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ
