Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reports: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyidah Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), who used to perform circumcision for women in Madinah: "When you circumcise women, take only a little from below, and do not exaggerate in cutting, for this is more radiant for the face and more pleasing to the husband."
