عَنْ ضَمْرَةَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ قَالَ وَقَدْ كَانَتْ صَلَّتِ الْقِبْلَتَيْنِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لِي اخْتَضِبِي تَتْرُكُ إِحْدَاكُنَّ الْخِضَابَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ يَدُهَا كَيَدِ الرَّجُلِ قَالَتْ فَمَا تَرَكَتِ الْخِضَابَ حَتَّى لَقِيَتِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَتَخْتَضِبُ وَإِنَّهَا لَابْنَةُ ثَمَانِينَ
Zumrah bin Saeed narrates from his grandmother, and she from a woman of her family, who had prayed in the direction of both Qiblahs with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. She says: The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, came to me and said: "Apply dye to your hands, for women abandon henna until their hands begin to resemble those of men." After this command, that woman never abandoned henna, until she met Allah, and she would still apply henna even when she was eighty years old.
