4064. It was narrated from Zaid bin Aslam that Ibn 'Umar used to dye his beard with yellow until his clothes were filled with that color. It was said to him: "Why do you dye with yellow?" He said: "I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ dyeing with it, and nothing was dearer to me than that." And he used to dye all his clothes with it, even his turban (Imāmah). (Sāḥih)
4064 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَسْلَمَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، كَانَ يَصْبُغُ لِحْيَتَهُ بِالصُّفْرَةِ حَتَّى تَمْتَلِئَ ثِيَابُهُ مِنَ الصُّفْرَةِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ لِمَ تَصْبُغُ بِالصُّفْرَةِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي «رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصْبُغُ بِهَا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْهَا، وَقَدْ كَانَ يَصْبُغُ ثِيَابَهُ كُلَّهَا حَتَّى عِمَامَتَهُ»
