[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ requested for water, so I brought him a cup containing water. In it, there was a strand of hair, so I removed it. He said, "O Allah, make it beautiful." Then, I saw him and he was ninety-four years old, without a single white hair in his beard.

اسْتَسْقَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَاءً فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِقَدَحٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَكَانَتْ فِيهِ شَعَرَةٌ فَأَخَذْتُهَا فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ جَمِّلْهُ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَرْبَعٍ وَتِسْعِينَ لَيْسَ فِي لِحْيَتِهِ شَعَرَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ requested for water, so I brought him a container with some water in it, and there was a hair in it. I picked it up and then gave it to him.

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ asked for water, so I brought him some water which had a hair in it. I took out the hair and the Prophet ﷺ said, "O Allah, make it beautiful." I then noticed that he was only ninety-four years old and did not have a single white hair on his head.

[Machine] I heard 'Amr ibn Akhtab Abu Zaid al-Ansari say, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sought rainfall, so I came to him with a cup containing a strand of hair.
