و عاش نصر بن دهمان بن بصار بن بكر بن سليم بن أشجع بن الريث بن غطفان مائة و تسعين سنة حتى سقطت أسنانه و خرف عقله و ابيض رأسه فحزب قومه أمر فاحتاجوا فيه إلى رأيه و دعوا الله عز و جل أن يرد إليه عقله و شبابه فعاد إليه عقله و شبابه و اسود شعره. فقال فيه سلمة بن الخرشب الأنماري من أنمار بن بغيض و يقال بل عياض مرداس السلمي لنصر بن دهمان الهنيدة عاشها و تسعين حولا ثم قوم فانصاتا و عاد سواد الرأس بعد بياضه و راجعة شرخ الشباب الذي فاتا و راجع عقلا عند ما فات عقله و لكنه من بعد ذا كله ماتا
Nasr bin Duhman bin (Basar bin Bakr bin) Sulaiman bin Ashja’ bin Reeth bin Ghatfan lived for one hundred and ninety years and all his teeth fell and all his hair turned white and he became unsound of mind. When his community needed his advice in one of the matters, they prayed to Allah to restore his mind and youth. Allah accepted their supplication and granted him mind and youth and all of his hairs turned black. Thus, Musallama bin Kharshab Anmari told Anmar bin Bagheez (about this) and it is said that Ayaz Mardas Salami said: Nasr bin Duhman’s life was like a hundred year old camel, which he lived His posture was straightened and his body accepted it And the whiteness of his hair was changed to black for ninety more years And his youth began once again after he had lost it His also regained his sense Even though he had lost it but he died in spite of all these things.
