Sahih al-Bukhari 3748 (Book 62, Hadith 93) #3576
Resemblance to Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: The head of Al-Husain was brought to 'Ubaidullah bin Ziyad and he started playing with a stick at the nose and mouth of Al-Husain's head. Anas then said that Al-Husain resembled the Prophet more than the others did.

Narrated Muhammad: Anas bin Malik said, "The head of Al-Husain was brought to 'Ubaidullah bin Ziyad and was put in a tray, and then Ibn Ziyad started playing with a stick at the nose and mouth of Al-Husain's head and saying something about his handsome features". Anas then said (to him), "Al-Husain resembled the Prophet more than the others did". Anas added, "His (ie Al-Husain's) hair was dyed with Wasma (ie a kind of plant used as a dye).
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أُتِيَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ بِرَأْسِ الْحُسَيْنِ ـ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ـ فَجُعِلَ فِي طَسْتٍ، فَجَعَلَ يَنْكُتُ، وَقَالَ فِي حُسْنِهِ شَيْئًا‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ كَانَ أَشْبَهَهُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ، وَكَانَ مَخْضُوبًا بِالْوَسْمَةِ‏.‏
