ahmad:13662ʿAffān > Ḥammād > Thābit

أحمد:١٣٦٦٢حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ

قِيلَ لِأَنَسٍ هَلْ شَابَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ مَا شَانَهُ اللهُ بِالشَّيْبِ مَا كَانَ فِي رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ إِلَّا سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ أَوْ ثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ

hakim:4205ʿAlī b. Ḥamshādh al-ʿAdl > Abū Muslim > Ḥajjāj b. Minhāl Ḥaddathahum > Ḥammād b. Salamah > Thābit > Qīl

[Machine] It was said to Anas, "What was the gray hair of the Prophet ﷺ like?" He said, "Allah never made him gray-haired except for about seventeen or eighteen (strands) on his head."  

الحاكم:٤٢٠٥حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَمْشَاذَ الْعَدْلُ أَنْبَأَ أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ أَنَّ حَجَّاجَ بْنَ مِنْهَالٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ قَالَ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ثنا ثَابِتٌ قَالَ

قِيلَ لِأَنَسٍ مَا كَانَ شِيبَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «مَا شَانَهُ اللَّهُ بِالشَّيْبِ مَا كَانَ فِي رَأْسِهِ إِلَّا سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ أَوْ ثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ»  

هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ وَهَذِهِ اللَّفْظَةُ إِنَّمَا اشْتُهِرَتْ بِعَائِشَةَ وَهِيَ مِنْ قَوْلِ أَنَسٍ غَرِيبَةٌ جِدًّا على شرط مسلم وهو غريب

ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الشَّعَرَاتِ الَّتِي شَابَتْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ

عَنْ ثَابِتٍ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لِأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ هَلْ شَابَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «مَا شَانَهُ اللَّهُ بِشَيْبٍ مَا كَانَ فِي رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ سِوَى سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ أَوْ ثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ شَعْرَةً»
