حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَزْدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْغِفَارِيِّ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَخِي رَافِعُ، ، بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، وَأَنَا مَخْضُوبٌ بِالْحِنَّاءِ، وَأَخِي مَخْضُوبٌ بِالصُّفْرَةِ، فَقَالَ لِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: " هَذَا خِضَابُ الْإِسْلَامِ "، وَقَالَ لِأَخِي رَافِعٍ: " هَذَا خِضَابُ الْإِيمَانِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Hakam bin Amr that once my brother Rafi' bin Amr and I presented ourselves before the Commander of the Faithful, Umar Farooq. I had dyed my hair with henna, and my brother had used a yellow dye. Umar said to me, "This is the dye of Islam," and to my brother Rafi', he said, "This is the dye of faith."
