Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I asked Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) have white hair?" He replied, "When Allah called the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to Himself, He did not let him be embarrassed by the whiteness of his hair. On the day of his passing, there were not even thirty white hairs on his head and beard." Someone asked, "Is the whitening of hair a cause for embarrassment?" Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "You people consider it a cause for embarrassment; we used to consider it a cause of adornment."
