Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 7068 — What Is Recommended of Adornment for Women
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ مَدَّتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ وَرَاءِ السِّتْرِ بِيَدِهَا كِتَابًا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَبَضَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ وَقَالَ مَا أَدْرِي أَيَدُ رَجُلٍ أَوْ يَدُ امْرَأَةٍ فَقَالَتْ بَلْ يَدُ امْرَأَةٍ فَقَالَ لَوْ كُنْتِ امْرَأَةً لَغَيَّرْتِ أَظْفَارَكِ بِالْحِنَّاءِ
It is narrated from Umm al-Mu'minin Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a woman extended her hand from behind a curtain to hand a book to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) withdrew his hand and said: "I do not know whether this is the hand of a man or a woman." She said: "It is the hand of a woman." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you were a woman, you would have colored your nails with henna."
