Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the dyeing of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he replied that there were very few white hairs in the blessed beard of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). However, Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to dye their hair with henna and katam. Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) on the day of the conquest of Makkah brought his father Abu Quhafa (may Allah be pleased with him) on his back to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and after reaching the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), made him sit down. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), considering the honor of Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him), said that if you had left the elder at home, we would have gone to him ourselves. In short, Abu Quhafa (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted Islam at that time, and the hair of his head and beard had become white like the herb called "thaghama." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Change his color, but avoid using black color.
