حَدَّثَنَا
وَكِيعٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي
عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُبَارَكٍ ، عَنْ
كَرِيمَةَ بِنْتِ هَمَّامٍ ، قَالَتْ : سَمِعْتُ
عَائِشَةَ ، تَقُولُ : يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ ، إِيَّاكُنَّ وَقَشْرَ الْوَجْهِ ، فَسَأَلَتْهَا امْرَأَةٌ عَنِ الْخِضَابِ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : " لَا بَأْسَ بِالْخِضَابِ ، وَلَكِنِّي أَكْرَهُهُ ، لِأَنَّ حَبِيبِي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ
يَكْرَهُ رِيحَهُ " .
Karimah bint Hammam says that once I entered the Sacred Mosque and saw that people had set aside a separate place for Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). A woman asked her, "O Mother of the Believers! What do you say about henna?" She replied, "My beloved (peace and blessings be upon him) liked its color but did not like its fragrance."
