و حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ أُتِيَ بِأَبِي قُحَافَةَ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَکَّةَ وَرَأْسُهُ وَلِحْيَتُهُ کَالثَّغَامَةِ بَيَاضًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَيِّرُوا هَذَا بِشَيْئٍ وَاجْتَنِبُوا السَّوَادَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 5509
Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported that Abu Qubafa was led (to the andience of the Holy Prophet) on the day of the Conquest of Mecca 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.
