حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ إِيَادِ بْنِ لَقِيطٍ الْعِجْلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي رِمْثَةَ التَّيْمِيِّ تَيْمِ الرَّبَابِ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلی الله عليه وسلم وَمَعِي ابْنٌ لِي قَالَ فَأَرَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ لَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ هَذَا نَبِيُّ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم وَعَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَخْضَرَانِ وَلَهُ شَعَرٌ قَدْ عَلاهُ الشَّيْبُ وَشَيْبُهُ أَحْمَرُ
شمائل المحمدية / شمائل ترمزی · Hadith 42
Abu Rimtha Taymi R.A. says: "I went with my son to Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam). (Probably he had not see Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) before). WhenI saw him I said to myself immediately, 'This is the true Messenger of Allah'. At that time Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) was wearing two pieces of green clothing. (His lungi -sarong,waist-wrap- and shawl were both green). On a few hairs there were signs of old age, but those hair were red".
