The Prophet's ﷺ Grey Hair

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ did not dye his hair, even though he had a few grey hairs.

Narrated Muhammad bin Seereen: I asked Anas, "Did the Prophet dye his hair?" Anas replied, "The Prophet did not have except a few grey hairs".
حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَنَسًا أَخَضَبَ النَّبِيُّ قَالَ لَمْ يَبْلُغِ الشَّيْبَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) grey hair. It was narrated by Muhammad bin Seereen who asked Anas if the Prophet ever dyed his hair. Anas replied that the Prophet only had a few grey hairs and did not dye them. This shows us that even though the Prophet was an example for all of us to follow, he still aged like any other human being and embraced it with dignity and grace. He showed us that we should accept our natural state in life without trying to change it or hide it away from others. We should also strive to be humble in our lives, no matter how successful or influential we may become, as this is what will bring us closer to Allah Almighty.
