Hadith 4928
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، أَنَّ أَبَا أُسَامَةَ أَخْبَرَهُمْ ، عَنْ مُفَضَّلِ بْنِ يُونُسَ ، عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي يَسَارٍ الْقُرَشِيِّ ،عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أُتِيَ بِمُخَنَّثٍ قَدْ خَضَّبَ يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ بِالْحِنَّاءِ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَا بَالُ هَذَا ؟ فَقِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، يَتَشَبَّهُ بِالنِّسَاءِ ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَنُفِيَ إِلَى النَّقِيعِ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَلَا نَقْتُلُهُ ؟ فَقَالَ : إِنِّي نُهِيتُ عَنْ قَتْلِ الْمُصَلِّينَ " قَالَ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ : وَالنَّقِيعُ نَاحِيَةٌ عَنْ الْمَدِينَةِ وَلَيْسَ بِالْبَقِيعِ .
Narrated Abu Hurairah: A hermaphrodite (mukhannath) who had dyed his hands and feet with henna was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He asked: What is the matter with this man? He was told: Messenger of Allah! he affects women's get-up. So he ordered regarding him and he was banished to an-Naqi'. The people said: Messenger of Allah! should we not kill him? He said: I have been prohibited from killing people who pray. Abu Usamah said: Naqi' is a region near Madina and not a Baqi'.
