اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ ضَمْرَةَ بنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ ، عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ ، قَالَ : وَقَدْ كَانَتْ صَلَّتْ الْقِبلَتَيْنِ مَعَ النَّبيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَتْ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لِي : " اخْتَضِبي ، تَتْرُكُ إِحْدَاكُنَّ الْخِضَاب حَتَّى تَكُونَ يَدُهَا كَيَدِ الرَّجُلِ " ، قَالَتْ : فَمَا تَرَكَتْ الْخِضَاب حَتَّى لَقِيَتْ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَتَخْتَضِب وَإِنَّهَا لَابنَةُ ثَمَانِينَ.
A woman (who had the honor of praying towards both Qiblahs) says that once the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came to my house and said to me, "Apply henna, for you women stop applying henna and your hands become like the hands of men." After that, I never stopped applying henna, and I will continue to do so until I meet Allah. The narrator says that she used to apply henna even at the age of eighty.
