Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ جُرَيْجٍ، سَأَلَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُكَ تُصَفِّرُ لِحْيَتَكَ بِالْوَرْسِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ أَمَّا تَصْفِيرِي لِحْيَتِي فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يُصَفِّرُ لِحْيَتَهُ .

Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah narrated to us; Abū Usāmah narrated to us, from ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿUmar, from Saʿīd ibn Abī Saʿīd, that ʿUbayd ibn Jurayj asked Ibn ʿUmar: “I see you dyeing your beard yellow with wars.” Ibn ʿUmar replied: “As for my dyeing my beard yellow, I saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, dyeing his beard yellow.”
