Rasoolullah Using a Dye

باب ما جاء في خضاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم

Abu Rimtha informed

“I came to the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) with a son of mine, so he said; ‘Is this your son?’ I said: ‘Yes,I acknowledge him!’ He said: ‘He must not harm you, and you must not harm him!’ I also noticed that the grayness of his hair was reddish.”

Abu Huraira was asked

“Did Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) dye [his hair]?” He said: “Yes!”

Al-Jahdama, the wife of Bishr ibn al- Khasasiyya, said

"I saw Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) come out of his house shaking his head, for he had performed the major ritual ablution, and on his head there was some trace of henna." (Or he said: saffron. The Shaikh doubted this.)

Humaid told us that Anas said

"I saw the hair of Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace)dyed.”

Hammad said

'Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn 'Uqail also informed us: "I saw the hair of Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) dyed in the presence of Anas ibn Malik."
