5079. It was narrated that Jâbir said: "Abû Quhâfah was brought on the Day of the Conquest of Makkah, and his hair and beard were white like the Thaghâmah.[1] The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Change this with something, but avoid black.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

5076 - أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: أُتِيَ بِأَبِي قُحَافَةَ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ وَرَأْسُهُ وَلِحْيَتُهُ كَالثَّغَامَةِ بَيَاضًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «غَيِّرُوا هَذَا بِشَيْءٍ، وَاجْتَنِبُوا السَّوَادَ»

Commentary

1. The Thaghâmah is a plant with white blossoms. Due to profuseness of the blossoms, the shrub too looks white from afar. 2. Abû Quhâfah is the father of Abû Bakr As-Siddîq ﷺ
