‘Abdallah b. Ja'far said:The Prophet waited three days before visiting the family of Ja'far (Ja'far b. Abu Talib was killed at Mu'ta in the year 7 A.H). He said,“Do not weep for my brother after today,”and then said,“Call my brother’s children to me.”When we had been brought like a number of chickens he said,“Call me a barber,”and then ordered him to shave our heads. Abu Dawud and Nasa’i transmitted it.

Umm 'Atiya al-Ansariya told that the Prophet said to a woman who used to perform circumcision (on girls) in Medina,“Do not cut severely, as that is better for a woman and more desirable to a husband.”Abu Dawud transmitted it, saying this is a weak tradition one of whose transmitters is an unknown man.

Karima daughter of Hammam told that a woman asked ‘A’isha about dyeing with henna and she replied,“There is no harm, but I do not like it. My beloved disliked its odour." Abu Dawud and Nasa’i transmitted it.

‘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.

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.

Ibn ‘Abbas said the woman who supplies false hair and the one who asks for it, the woman who pulls out hair for other people and the woman who depilates herself, the woman who tattoos and the one who has it done when there was no disease to justify it were cursed. Abu Dawud transmitted it.

Abu Huraira said God’s messenger cursed the man who dressed like a woman and the woman who dressed like a man. Abu Dawud transmitted it.

Ibn Abu Mulaika told that when someone remarked to ‘A’isha that a woman was wearing sandals (in refrence to men’s footwear) she replied that God’s messenger cursed mannish women. Abu Dawud transmitted it.

Thauban told that when God’s messenger went on a journey the last member of his family he saw was Fatima and the first he visited on his return was Fatima. Once when he returned from an expedition she had hung up a hair-cloth, or a curtain, at her door and adorned al-Hasan and al-Husain with silver bracelets, so when he arrived he did not enter. Thinking that he had been prevented from entering by what he had seen she tore down the curtain, unfastened the bracelets from the boys and cut them off them. They went weeping to God's messenger, and when he had taken them from them he said,“Take this to so and so’s family, Thauban. These are my family and I dislike their enjoying their good things in the present life. Buy Fatima a necklace of ‘asb(the meaning is not clear. It is suggested that it means the tendons of the joints of animals cut into beads, or the teeth or bones of the hippopotamus) , Thauban, and two ivory (Or, 'tortoise-shell’ (’aj) bracelets.”Ahmad and Abu Dawud transmitted it.

Ibn ‘Abbas reported the Prophet as saying,“Apply antimony, for it clears the sight and makes the hair grow.”And he asserted that the Prophet had a collyrium-case from which he applied collyrium every night in each eye three times. Tirmidhi transmitted it.
