Shamail Tirmidhi

"I asked Anas R.A., 'Did Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) dye his hair?'" He replied: "The hair of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) did not reach such a stage where one would use a dye; however Rasulullah (Sallallahu alihe wasallam) did have a few white hair on his temples, on the other hand Abu Bakr R.A. dyed his hair with Hina and Katm."

"I did not count more than fourteen white hair on the head and beard of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam)".

"When Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) oiled his hair, it (white hair) did not show. When he did not oil it, it showed".

"Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) had about twenty white hair".

"Abu Bakr R.A. once said, 'O Messenger of Allah, you have become old'. (What is the reason? Due to this mild and soft temperament he ought to be young, and also according to his age he could be still called young). Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) replied: "The recitation of Surahs Hud, Waaqiah, Mursalat, Amma and Kuwwirah has made me old'".

The people said: "O Rasulallah, (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam)! we see the signs of old age beginning to show on you?" Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) replied: "Surah Hud and similar surahs have made me old".

"I went with my son to Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam). (Probably he had not see Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) before). When I saw him I said to myself immediately, 'This is the true Messenger of Allah'. At that time Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) was wearing two pieces of green clothing. (His lungi-sarong, waist-wrap and shawl were both green). On a few hairs there were signs of old age, but those hair were red".

"Were there any white hair in the blessed head of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam)? He replied: 'He only had a few on the middle parting, and when Rasuullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) oiled his hair, they did not show'".
