Jabir reported that when Abu Quhafa (father of Abu Bakr) came in the year of Victory or on the Day of Victory (to the Holy Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) to pledge his allegiance to him) his head and his beard were white like hyssop. He (the Holy Prophet) commaded or the women were commanded by him that they should change this with something (that the colour of his hair should be changed).

Jabir bin 'Abdullah reported that Abu Quhafa was led (to the andience of the Holy Prophet) on the day of the Conquest of Makkah and his head and beard were white like hyssop, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Change it with something but avoid black.
