حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَزِيرِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَسَّانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الْمَوَالِي ، حَدَّثَنَا فَائِدٌ مَوْلَى عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، عَنْ مَوْلَاهُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ سَلْمَى خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَتْ : " مَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَشْتَكِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَعًا فِي رَأْسِهِ إِلَّا قَالَ : احْتَجِمْ ، وَلَا وَجَعًا فِي رِجْلَيْهِ إِلَّا قَالَ : اخْضِبْهُمَا " .

Benefits and Issues:
➊
Our researcher has declared the mentioned narration to be weak in terms of its chain of transmission. However, other scholars have, on the basis of supporting evidences, considered it to be hasan (good). And the opinion that the hadith is hasan appears to be correct. Therefore, if a person wishes to use henna for the treatment of wounds and the like, it is permissible. And Allah knows best. As is well known among physicians and others, henna cools the wound and dries it. For this reason, minor wounds can be treated with it.
➋
Applying henna to the palms of the hands is an adornment for women. Therefore, men should refrain from it, so that they do not resemble women.
