حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ لَيْثٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ جِيئَ بِأَبِي قُحَافَةَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَکَأَنَّ رَأْسَهُ ثَغَامَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اذْهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَی بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ فَلْتُغَيِّرْهُ وَجَنِّبُوهُ السَّوَادَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3624
It was narrated from Jâbir said: “Abu Quhâfah was brought to the Prophet on the Day of the Conquest (of Makkah), and his head was all white. The Messenger of AlIah said: ‘Take him to some of his womenfolk and let them change this, but avoid black.” (Sahih)
