(They were so few) that if I so liked I could count their number in his head, and he further said: (That is) he did not dye. Abu Bakr, however, dyed them and so did 'Umar dye them with pure henna.
عَنْ خِضَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَوْ شِئْتُ أَنْ أَعُدَّ شَمَطَاتٍ كُنَّ فِي رَأْسِهِ فَعَلْتُ وَقَالَ لَمْ يَخْتَضِبْ وَقَدِ اخْتَضَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ وَاخْتَضَبَ عُمَرُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ بَحْتًا

[Machine] About the dye of the Prophet, ﷺ , he said, "If I wanted to count the number of times I dyed my head, I would do so" and he said, "He did not perform khitan and Abu Bakr performed khitan with henna and katam, and Umar performed khitan with henna alone." This is the wording of the hadith of Abu Rabi' and in the narration of Sulayman, Anas said, "If I wanted to count the number of times I dyed his beard, I would do so." And Abu Bakr performed khitan with henna and katam.
