حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُطِيعُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ يُكْنَى أبَا سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ عِصْمَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَتْ
مَدَّتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ وَرَاءِ السِّتْرِ بِيَدِهَا كِتَابًا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَبَضَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ وَقَالَ: مَا أَدْرِي أَيَدُ رَجُلٍ أَوْ يَدُ امْرَأَةٍ. فَقَالَتْ: بَلِ امْرَأَةٌ. فَقَالَ: لَوْ كُنْتِ امْرَأَةً غَيَّرْتِ أَظْفَارَكِ بِالْحِنَّاءِ

✧ A woman stretched out her hand from behind the curtain with a letter to the Messenger of God ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ withdrew his hand and said: “I do not know whether it is a man’s hand or a woman’s hand.” She said: “Rather, a woman.” He said: “Had you been a woman, you would have changed your nails with henna.”
