حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ مَرَّ عَلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ قَدْ خَضَّبَ بِالْحِنَّائِ فَقَالَ مَا أَحْسَنَ هَذَا قَالَ فَمَرَّ آخَرُ قَدْ خَضَّبَ بِالْحِنَّائِ وَالْکَتَمِ فَقَالَ هَذَا أَحْسَنُ مِنْ هَذَا قَالَ فَمَرَّ آخَرُ قَدْ خَضَّبَ بِالصُّفْرَةِ فَقَالَ هَذَا أَحْسَنُ مِنْ هَذَا کُلِّهِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4211
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: When a man who had dyed himself with henna passed by the Prophet ﷺ, he said: How fine this is! When another man who had dyed himself with henna and katam passed by, he said: This is better than that. Then another man who had dyed himself with yellow dye, passed by, he said: This is better than all that.
