حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی ح و حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ الْمَعْنَی عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَنْتِفُوا الشَّيْبَ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَشِيبُ شَيْبَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ قَالَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ إِلَّا کَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِ يَحْيَی إِلَّا کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا حَسَنَةً وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4202
Amr bin Shuaib, on his father's authority, told that his grandfather reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do not pluck out grey hair. If any believer grows a grey hair in Islam, he will have light on the Day of Resurrection. (This is Sufyan's version). Yahya's version says: Allah will record on his behalf a good deed for it, and will blot out a sin for it.
