English Translation

It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Sufyan, from al-Zuhri, from Abu Salama and Sulayman ibn Yassar, both of whom heard Abu Hurayra — traced to the Prophet ﷺ: 'Indeed the Jews and Christians do not dye [their hair and beards — with henna etc.]. So differ from them [khalifu-hum].'
