ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الشَّعَرَاتِ الَّتِي شَابَتْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ

[Machine] From Thabit, it is narrated that they asked Anas ibn Malik, "Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ reach old age?" He said, "Allah did not create any gray or white hair on his head or beard, except for about seventeen or eighteen strands of hair."  

ابن حبّان:٦٢٩٢أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ

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»

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

[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."
