The Prophet's Hair

SUMMARY: Anas b. Malik reported that the Prophet Muhammad had little white hair and did not dye it.

Muhammad b. Sirin reported: I asked Anas b. Malik whether Allah's Messenger dyed his hair. He said: He had but little white hair.
وَحَدَّثَنِي حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَخَضَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَرَ مِنَ الشَّيْبِ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's hair. It was reported by Muhammad b. Sirin that he asked Anas b. Malik whether the Prophet dyed his hair or not and Anas replied that he had very little white hair so there was no need to dye it. This hadith teaches us to be content with what Allah has given us and to accept our physical features without trying to change them artificially or unnaturally in order to fit in with society's standards of beauty or perfectionism as this is against Islamic teachings which emphasize on accepting ourselves for who we are and being grateful for all of Allah's blessings upon us regardless of how they may appear externally or internally .
