Arabic hadith text

وَعَن أبي رِمْثةَ التيميِّ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَخْضَرَانِ وَلَهُ شَعَرٌ قَدْ عَلَاهُ الشَّيْبُ وَشَيْبُهُ أَحْمَرُ. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِأَبِي دَاوُدَ: وَهُوَ ذُو وَفْرَةٍ وَبِهَا رَدْعٌ من حناء

Translation

Abu Rimtha al-Taymi reported: I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he wore two green garments. His hair had become gray, and the gray in it was reddish. Al-Tirmidhi transmitted it. A version from Abu Dawud says he had long hair reaching the earlobes, with traces of henna in it.
