"When the Prophet ﷺ arrived at Medina, the eldest amongst his companions was Abu Bakr. He dyed his hair with Hinna and Katam till it became of dark red color.
قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ فَكَانَ أَسَنَّ أَصْحَابِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَغَلَفَهَا بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ حَتَّى قَنَأَ لَوْنُهَا

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allahﷺ arrived in Medina and his companion Abu Bakr was very dark-skinned. He covered himself with henna and dye until his skin became black. When I woke up in the morning, I said, 'His skin has become black.' He said, 'I did not say black.'"
«قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ وَكَانَ أَسَنَّ أَصْحَابِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَغَلَّفَهَا بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ حَتَّى قَنَأَ لَوْنُهَا سَوَادًا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ غَدَوْتُ فَقُلْتُ قَنَأَ لَوْنُهَا سَوَادًا قَالَ لَمْ أَقُلْ سَوَادًا»
