وَعَن عائشةَ أَنَّ هِنْدًا بِنْتَ عُتْبَةَ قَالَتْ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ بَايِعْنِي فَقَالَ: «لَا أُبَايِعُكِ حَتَّى تُغَيِّرِي كَفَّيْكِ فَكَأَنَّهُمَا كَفَّا سَبُعٍ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ

‘A’isha told that when Hind daughter of ‘Utba said, “Prophet of God, accept my allegiance," he replied, “Not till you make a difference to the palms of your hands ; for they look like the paws of a beast of prey." (A strong way of saying that a woman's hands with no henna on them are ugly) Abu Dawud transmitted it.

Reported by Abu Dawud (No. 4165). Cited in Mishkat al-Masabih (No. 4466).
