ذِكْرُ السَّبَبِ الَّذِي مِنْ أَجَلِهِ دَعَا الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ لِأَبِي زَيْدٍ بِالْجَمَالِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ once asked for water, so I brought him a container that had water in it and also had a hair in it. I lifted the hair and handed him the container. He looked at me and said, "O Allah, beautify it." Then, I saw him and he was ninety-three years old, yet there was not a single white hair on his head or beard.  

ابن حبّان:٧١٧٢أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الشَّرْقِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ زَاجٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ* وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو نَهِيكٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ أَخْطَبَ قَالَ

اسْتَسْقَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِإِنَاءٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ وَفِيهِ شَعْرَةٌ فَرَفَعْتُهَا فَنَاوَلْتُهُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ جَمِّلْهُ» قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَلَاثٍ وَتِسْعِينَ وَمَا فِي رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ شَعْرَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ

[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.
