Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 32, Hadith 76
narrated that Suhaib Al-Khair said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The best thing with which you can dye your hair is this black (dye). It makes your women desire you and creates fear in the hearts of your enemies.’”
“ إِنَّ أَحْسَنَ مَا اخْتَضَبْتُمْ بِهِ لَهَذَا السَّوَادُ أَرْغَبُ لِنِسَائِكُمْ فِيكُمْ وَأَهْيَبُ لَكُمْ فِي صُدُورِ عَدُوِّكُمْ ” .
Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 32, Hadith 76
Da’if (Darussalam)
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. As a key component of the Kutub al-Sittah, Sunan Ibn Majah was authored by the Islamic scholar Ibn Majah (d. 886 CE) and includes roughly 4,000 prophetic traditions. The scope of the work is comprehensive, covering essential areas such as theological beliefs, laws governing worship, moral principles, and various societal matters. It is important to note that while the collection is highly valued, its status is distinct from the other five major books. Scholars frequently place it in a separate category because its contents include a proportion of weak or disputed narrations not found in the more stringent compilations. However, its comprehensive nature ensures its continued importance as a scholarly resource.
