[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ brought Abu Quhafah, or Abu Quhafah came in the year of the Conquest, and his head and beard were like a Shaggy One. Hasan said, "So he commanded his wives saying, 'Change this gray hair.'" Hasan said, "Zuhayr said, 'I said to Abu Zubayr, 'Should they avoid using black dye?' He said, 'No.'"  

أحمد:١٤٦٤١حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ أَحْمَدُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِأَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَوْ جَاءَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ وَرَأْسُهُ وَلِحْيَتُهُ مِثْلُ الثَّغَامِ أَوْ مِثْلُ الثَّغَامَةِ قَالَ حَسَنٌ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ إِلَى نِسَائِهِ قَالَ غَيِّرُوا هَذَا الشَّيْبَ قَالَ حَسَنٌ قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ أَقَالَ جَنِّبُوهُ السَّوَادَ؟ قَالَ لَا
