حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سِمَاکِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ وَقَدْ سُئِلَ عَنْ شَيْبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم فَقَالَ کَانَ إِذَا دَهَنَ رَأْسَهُ لَمْ يُرَ مِنْهُ شَيْبٌ وَإِذَا لَمْ يَدْهِنْ رُئِيَ مِنْهُ شَيْئٌ

Jaabir bin Samurah R.A. was asked a question regarding the white hair of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam). He replied: "When Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) oiled his hair, it (white hair) did not show. When he did not oil it, it showed".
