حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ زَيْدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَسْلَمَ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ کَانَ يَصْبُغُ لِحْيَتَهُ بِالصُّفْرَةِ حَتَّی تَمْتَلِئَ ثِيَابُهُ مِنْ الصُّفْرَةِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ لِمَ تَصْبُغُ بِالصُّفْرَةِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصْبُغُ بِهَا وَلَمْ يَکُنْ شَيْئٌ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْهَا وَقَدْ کَانَ يَصْبُغُ ثِيَابَهُ کُلَّهَا حَتَّی عِمَامَتَهُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4064
Narrated Zayd ibn Aslam: Ibn Umar used to dye his beard with yellow colour so much so that his clothes were filled (dyed) with yellowness. He was asked: Why do you dye with yellow colour? He replied: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ dyeing with yellow colour, and nothing was dearer to him than it. He would dye all his clothes with it, even his turban.
