Ibn Sa'd ya ruwaito cewa A'isha, Allah ya yarda da ita, ta ce wani mutum ya ce mata: "Ki kwatanta mana Abu Bakr." Sai ta ce: "Mutum ne mai fari, mai siriri, mai kumatu marasa nama, mai ɗan lanƙwasa; tufarsa ta ƙasa tana zamewa daga kugunsa, fuskarsa ta ɓaci, idanunsa sun shiga cikin kai, goshinsa ya fito, kuma bayan hannayensa babu nama. Wannan shi ne bayaninsa." Ya ƙara ruwaitowa cewa A'isha, Allah ya yarda da ita, ta ce Abu Bakr yana rina [gashin kansa da gemunsa] da lalle da katam.

Ibn Sacd narrated that cA’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said that a man said to her, ‘Describe Abu Bakr to us.’ She said, ‘A fair man, of slender build, thin cheeked and with a stoop; he could not keep his lower garment from slipping over his loins; gaunt-faced, eyes deep-set, with a prominent forehead, and the backs of his hands fleshless. This is his description.’ He narrated that cA’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said that Abu Bakr used to dye [his hair and beard] with henna and indigo (katam).

Ya ruwaito cewa Anas ya ce: Manzon Allah ﷺ ya tafi Madina, kuma babu wani daga cikin sahabbansa mai gashi gauraye da fari da baƙi sai Abu Bakr, sai ya rina shi da lalle da indigo {katam}.

He narrated that Anas said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went to Madinah and there was no-one among his companions having hair of mixed white and black except Abu Bakr, so he dyed it with henna and indigo {katam).
