حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ أَنَّ أَبَا أُسَامَةَ أَخْبَرَهُمْ عَنْ مُفَضَّلِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي يَسَارٍ الْقُرَشِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِمُخَنَّثٍ قَدْ خَضَبَ يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ بِالْحِنَّاءِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا بَالُ هَذَا فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَتَشَبَّهُ بِالنِّسَاءِ فَأُمِرَ بِهِ فَنُفِيَ إِلَى النَّقِيعِ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلاَ نَقْتُلُهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي نُهِيتُ عَنْ قَتْلِ الْمُصَلِّينَ

Am effeminate man (mukhannath) who had dyed his hands and feet with henna was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He asked: What is the matter with this man? He was told: "Messenger of Allah! He imitates the look of women." So he issued an order regarding him and he was banished to an-Naqi'. The people said: Messenger of Allah! Should we not kill him? He said: I have been prohibited from killing people who pray. AbuUsamah said: Naqi' is a region near Medina and not a Baqi'.
