Arabic text

3502 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا فَائِدٌ، مَوْلَى عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَوْلَايَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَتْنِي جَدَّتِي سَلْمَى أُمُّ رَافِعٍ، مَوْلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ: «كَانَ لَا يُصِيبُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَرْحَةٌ، وَلَا شَوْكَةٌ، إِلَّا وَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ الْحِنَّاءَ»

Commentary

Henna dries a wound after cooling it, so a minor wound could be treated by applying it. Applying henna on palms is among the characteristics of women. Hence, men should not apply it to avoid imitating women.
