Combining two hadiths regarding the whiteness of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) hair and its dyeing?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the hadith of Anas: "He did not have much white hair," and the hadith of Umm Salama: "Then he was dyed with henna and katam"?

Answer:
This indicates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dyed some of his hair, but it was hidden from Anas. The reason for this is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sometimes left it white due to his busy schedule (peace and blessings be upon him). So Anas and some of the Companions who said, "He did not dye it," thought that this was hidden from them because the white hair was few. In the last part of his life, he sometimes neglected it due to work, and it remained white; so they thought he had not dyed it. And the one who remembers is a proof against the one who does not remember.
