أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُطِيعُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ ، حَدَّثَتْنَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ عِصْمَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مَدَّتْ يَدَهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِكِتَابٍ ، فَقَبَضَ يَدَهُ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , مَدَدْتُ يَدِي إِلَيْكَ بِكِتَابٍ ، فَلَمْ تَأْخُذْهُ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنِّي لَمْ أَدْرِ أَيَدُ امْرَأَةٍ هِيَ ، أَوْ رَجُلٍ ؟ " قَالَتْ : بَلْ يَدُ امْرَأَةٍ ، قَالَ : " لَوْ كُنْتِ امْرَأَةً لَغَيَّرْتِ أَظْفَارَكِ بِالْحِنَّاءِ " .
´It was narrated from 'Aishah that:` A woman reached out her hand (to give) a letter to the Prophet [SAW], and he withdrew his hand. She said: "O Messenger of Allah, I reached out my hand (to give you) a letter and you did not take it." He said: "I did not know whether it was the hand of a woman or a man." She said: "It is the hand of a woman." He said: "If you were a woman, you would change your nails (by dyeing them with Henna)."
