Hadith Number: 4250
حدثنا علي بن حمشاذ العدل، اخبرنا ابو مسلم، ان حجاج بن منهال، حدثهم، قال: حدثنا حماد بن سلمة، حدثنا ثابت، قال: قيل لانس: ما كان شيب النبي ﷺ؟ قال: ما شانه الله بالشيب، ما كان في راسه إلا تسع عشرة او ثمان عشرة (2).
هذا حديث صحيح على شرط مسلم، ولم يخرجاه، وهذه اللفظة إنما اشتهرت بعائشة ﵂، وهي من قول انس غريبة جدا (3).
[التعليق - من تلخيص الذهبي] ترقيم العلميه 4205 - على شرط مسلم وهو غريب

It is narrated from Thabit that Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked: How many of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) hairs were white? He said: Allah Almighty protected him from (excessive) old age; there were only nineteen or eighteen white hairs on his blessed head.
This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. These words (Allah protected him from old age) are well known from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), but as a saying of Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) they are very gharib (singular).

وأخرج أحمد 19/ (12474) من طريق أبي يعقوب إسحاق بن عثمان الكلابي، عن ثابت، قال: سألتُ أنسًا: هل شَمِطَ رسول الله ﷺ؟ قال: لقد قبض الله ﷿ رسوله ﷺ وما فضحه بالشيبِ، ما كان في رأسه ولحيته يوم مات ثلاثون شعرة بيضاء. وهذه رواية شاذّة.

وانظر تمام تخريجه وطرقه التي اشتملت على معناه برقم (4260).
Technical note / Defect ('illah): The author's firm judgement that these words are "gharib" (unusual) as a statement of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) and well known as a statement of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) is the opposite of the reality.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: For words with the same meaning are narrated via Humayd al-Tawil from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) in Ahmad 20/ (12054) with the words: "lam yushan bi al-shayb" (old age did not blemish him). Also, via Abu Iyas from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), exactly the same words as those in the preceding narration of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) are narrated in Muslim (2341). Allah the Exalted knows best.

(3) كذا جزم المصنِّفُ بغرابة هذه اللفظة من قول أنس، واشتهارها بعائشة، والأمر بخلاف ما ذَكَرَ، فقد ورد ذكرُ معناها من طريق حميد الطويل عن أنس عند أحمد 20/ (12054) بلفظ: لم يُشَنْ بالشيب. ومن طريق أبي إياس عن أنس عند مسلم (2341) بلفظ عائشة المتقدم قبله تمامًا، والله تعالى أعلم.
