English translation

4928. It was narrated from Abū Hurairah that an effeminate man who had dyed his hands and feet with henna was brought to the Prophet ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ said: "What is the matter with him?" They said: "O Messenger of Allāh, he imitates women." He ordered that he be banished to An-Naqī. They said: "O Messenger of Allāh, should we not kill him?" He said: "I have been forbidden to kill those who pray." (Da'if) Abū Usāmah (one of the narrators) said: "An-Naqī is outside of Al-Madinah, and it is not Al-Baqī."

Arabic text

4928 - حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، أَنَّ أَبَا أُسَامَةَ، أَخْبَرَهُمْ عَنْ مُفَضَّلِ بْنِ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي يَسَارٍ الْقُرَشِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِمُخَنَّثٍ قَدْ خَضَّبَ يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ بِالْحِنَّاءِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا بَالُ هَذَا؟» فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، يَتَشَبَّهُ بِالنِّسَاءِ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَنُفِيَ إِلَى النَّقِيعِ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَلَا نَقْتُلُهُ؟ فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي نُهِيتُ عَنْ قَتْلِ الْمُصَلِّينَ» قَالَ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ: «وَالنَّقِيعُ نَاحِيَةٌ عَنِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَلَيْسَ بِالْبَقِيعِ»
