Sahih Muslim 2102a (Book 37, Hadith 123) #12608
Changing Hair Color for Abu Qubafa

SUMMARY: The Prophet commanded that Abu Qubafa's white hair and beard should be changed to a different color.

Jabir reported that when Abu Qubafa (father of Abu Bakr) came in the year of Victory or on the Day of Victory (to the Prophet to pledge his allegiance to him) his head and his beard were white like hyssop. He (the Holy Prophet) commanded or the women were commanded by him that they should change this with something (that the colour of his hair should be changed).
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ أُتِيَ بِأَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَوْ جَاءَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ أَوْ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ وَرَأْسُهُ وَلِحْيَتُهُ مِثْلُ الثَّغَامِ أَوِ الثَّغَامَةِ فَأَمَرَ أَوْ فَأُمِرَ بِهِ إِلَى نِسَائِهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ غَيِّرُوا هَذَا بِشَىْءٍ
