شمائل المحمدية / شمائل ترمزی · Hadith 44
Abu Rimthah Taymi Radhiallahu 'Anhu says: "I attended a gathering of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam with my son. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam asked me, 'Is this your son?' I replied: 'Yes, this is my son. You be a witness to it.' Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alahi Wasallam said: 'The revenge of his crime (jinayah) is not on you, nor is the revenge of your crime on him.' (This will be explained in the commentary). Abu Rimthah Radhiallahu 'Anhu says: 'At that time I noticed a few hair of Rasulullah Salallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam were red." Imam Tirmidhi says: 'This hadith is the most correct and closest on the subject of using a dye.'
