Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ جِيءَ بِأَبِي قُحَافَةَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَكَأَنَّ رَأْسَهُ ثَغَامَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ اذْهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ فَلْتُغَيِّرْهُ وَجَنِّبُوهُ السَّوَادَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah narrated to us; Ismāʿīl ibn ʿUlayyah narrated to us, from Layth, from Abū al-Zubayr, from Jābir, who said: Abū Quḥāfah was brought to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, on the day of the Conquest, and his head was like a thughāmah. The Messenger of Allah said, “Take him to one of his women so that she may change it, and keep him away from black.”
