Hadith 885:2

Harami ibn ‘Umarah narrated to us, ‘Uzrah ibn Thabit al-Ansari narrated to us, ‘Ilba’ ibn Ahmar narrated to us, Abu Zayd al-Ansari narrated to us, he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to me: "Come near to me." He said: So he wiped his hand over his head and his beard. He said: Then he said: "O Allah, beautify him and make his beauty last." He said: He reached over a hundred years of age, and there was no whiteness in his head or his beard, except for a small amount. And his face was expansive, and his face did not contract until he died.
