Sunan an-Nasai 5074 — Changing Gray Hair

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5074

This hadith reports Az-Zubair saying that the Messenger of Allah [SAW] said, “Change gray hair but do not imitate the Jews.” The translation also notes that both reports are not preserved, so the wording should be handled carefully. Still, the text placed before us carries the same theme as nearby narrations: changing gray hair and avoiding imitation in that named matter. The explanation should not add more than this. It does not mention henna, katam, or avoiding black in this exact wording. For people searching Az-Zubair gray hair hadith, change gray hair hadith, or do not imitate Jews hadith, the focus remains on the statement as transmitted here.
