Sahih al-Bukhari 3550 (Book 61, Hadith 59) #3391
The Prophet's Hair Dyeing Habits

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) did not dye his hair, as there were only a few white hairs on his temples.

Narrated Qatada: I asked Anas, "Did the Prophet use to dye (his) hair?" He said, "No, for there were only a few white hairs on his temples".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَنَسًا هَلْ خَضَبَ النَّبِيُّ قَالَ لاَ، إِنَّمَا كَانَ شَىْءٌ فِي صُدْغَيْهِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the hair dyeing habits of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It was narrated by Qatada, who asked Anas ibn Malik if the prophet used to dye his hair. Anas replied that he did not, as there were only a few white hairs on his temples. This hadith teaches us that it is permissible to dye one's hair in Islam, but it is also important to remember that the prophet himself did not do so and instead embraced his natural appearance with grace and dignity. We can learn from this example of modesty and humility in our own lives.
