4166. It was narrated from Šafiyyah bint Iṣmah, from 'Aishah, who said: "A woman gestured from behind a curtain, with a letter for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ in her hand. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ withdrew his hand, and said: 'I do not know whether it is the hand of a man or a woman.' She said: 'It is a woman.' He said: 'If you were a woman, you would have changed your nails.'" Meaning, with henna. (Da'if)
4166 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصُّورِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُطِيعُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ عِصْمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: أَوْمَتْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ وَرَاءِ سِتْرٍ بِيَدِهَا، كِتَابٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَبَضَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ، فَقَالَ: «مَا أَدْرِي أَيَدُ رَجُلٍ، أَمْ يَدُ امْرَأَةٍ؟» قَالَتْ: بَلِ امْرَأَةٌ، قَالَ: «لَوْ كُنْتِ امْرَأَةً لَغَيَّرْتِ أَظْفَارَكِ» يَعْنِي بِالْحِنَّاءِ
