(Sign on a woman’s hand is henna)
Hadith Number: 4467
4467 - وعنها، قالت: اومت امراة من وراء ستر، بيدها كتاب إلى رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فقبض النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - يده. فقال:"ما ادري ايد رجل ام يد امراة؟"قالت: بل يد امراة، قال:"لو كنت امراة لغيرت اظفارك"يعني الحناء . رواه ابو داود، والنسائي.
She told that a woman made a sign from behind a curtain to indicate that she had a letter for God's messenger. The Prophet closed his hand saying,“I do not know whether this is a man’s or a woman’s hand," and when she declared that it was a woman’s he said,“If you were a woman you would make a difference to your nails," meaning with henna. Abu Dawud and Nasa'i transmitted it.
