Arabic hadith text
وَعَن جَابر قَالَ: أُتِيَ بِأَبِي قُحَافَةَ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ وَرَأْسُهُ وَلِحْيَتُهُ كَالثُّغَامَةِ بَيَاضًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «غَيِّرُوا هَذَا بِشَيْءٍ وَاجْتَنِبُوا السَّواد» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
Translation
Jabir reported: On the day Mecca was conquered, Abu Quhafa was brought in with his head and beard as white as the white plant called thugham. The Prophet ﷺ said, “Change this with something, but avoid black.” Muslim transmitted it.
