وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: مَرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ قَدْ خَضَبَ بِالْحِنَّاءِ فَقَالَ: «مَا أَحْسَنَ هَذَا» . قَالَ: فَمَرَّ آخَرُ قَدْ خَضَبَ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ فَقَالَ: «هَذَا أَحْسَنُ مِنْ هَذَا» ثُمَّ مَرَّ آخَرُ قَدْ خَضَبَ بِالصُّفْرَةِ فَقَالَ: «هَذَا أَحْسَنُ مِنْ هَذَا كُله» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد

Ibn ‘Abbas told that when a man who had dyed himself with henna passed the Prophet he said, “How fine this is! ” When another who had dyed himself with henna and katam passed by he said, “This is better than that.” Then when another who had dyed himself with yellow dye passed by he said, “This is better than all that.” Abu Dawud transmitted it.
