English translation

4202. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, that his grandfather said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Do not pluck grey hairs, for there is no Muslim whose hair turns grey in Islam' he said, narrating from Sufyān, 'but it will be light for him on the Day of Resurrection.'" In the Hadīth of Yahyā (it says), "...but Allāh will record one Hasanah (good deed) for it, and will erase one sin from him for it." (Hasan)

4202 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، الْمَعْنَى، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا تَنْتِفُوا الشَّيْبَ، مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَشِيبُ شَيْبَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ - قَالَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ: «إِلَّا كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»، وَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى - إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا حَسَنَةً، وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً "
