حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ، وَسُئِلَ عَنْ شَيْبِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: "، ، كَانَ فِي رَأْسِهِ شَعَرَاتٌ إِذَا دَهَنَ رَأْسَهُ لَمْ تَتَبَيَّنَّ، وَإِذَا لَمْ يَدْهُنْهُ تَبَيَّنَّ " (١)،

Someone asked Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) about the white hair of the Prophet (ﷺ), so he replied that there were a few white hairs on the head of the Prophet (ﷺ). When he applied oil to his head, the whiteness of the hair was not apparent, but when he did not apply oil, their whiteness became evident.
