Arabic (Original)
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْمُقْرِئُ أنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ نا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ نا مُحَمَّدٌ نا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّمَّامُ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي كَرِيمَةُ بِنْتُ هَمَّامٍ قَالَتْ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ ؓ فَسَأَلَتْهَا امْرَأَةٌ عَنِ الْخِضَابِ بِالْحِنَّاءِ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ سَيِّدِي ﷺ يَكْرَهُ رِيحَهُ أَوْ لَا يُحِبُّ رِيحَهُ وَلَيْسَ يُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْكُنَّ أَخَوَاتِي أَنْ تَخَضَّبْنَ وَقَدْ مَضَى سَائِرُ مَا رُوِيَ فِيهِ فِي بَابِ مَا تُبْدِي الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ زِينَتِهَا
English Translation
Karimah bint Hammam said: I was with Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) when a woman asked her about dyeing with henna. She said: 'My master (peace be upon him) disliked its smell,' or she said 'did not like its smell, but it is not forbidden for you, my sisters, to dye.' The rest of what was narrated about this has been mentioned in the chapter on what a woman may show of her adornment.
