4209. It was narrated from Thābit that Anas was asked about the hair-dye of the Prophet ﷺ and he replied that he did not dye his hair, but Abū Bakr and ‘Umar (may Allāh be pleased with them both) dyed their hair. (Sahih)

Arabic text

4209 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ خِضَابِ النَّبِيِّ، صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، «فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَخْضِبْ»، وَلَكِنْ قَدْ خَضَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا "

Commentary

There were only a few white hair in the beard and head of the Prophet ﷺ. These hairs were dyed. Anas had not seen him dying his hair, so he denied this fact, where as other Companions saw him dying and they confirmed this.
