حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصُّورِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا مُطِيعُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ عِصْمَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ
أَوْمَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ وَرَاءِ سِتْرٍ بِيَدِهَا كِتَابٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَبَضَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ فَقَالَ مَا أَدْرِي أَيَدُ رَجُلٍ أَمْ يَدُ امْرَأَةٍ قَالَتْ بَلِ امْرَأَةٌ قَالَ لَوْ كُنْتِ امْرَأَةً لَغَيَّرْتِ أَظْفَارَكِ يَعْنِي بِالْحِنَّاءِ

A woman made a sign from behind a curtain to indicate that she had a letter for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ closed his hand, saying: I do not know this is a man's or a woman's hand. She said: No, a woman. He said: If you were a woman, you would make a difference to your nails, meaning with henna.
