[Machine] A woman came behind the partition with a book in her hand to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Prophet ﷺ took her hand and said, "I do not know whether this is the hand of a man or a woman." She said, "Indeed, it is the hand of a woman." He said, "If you were a woman, I would have changed the color of your nails with henna." Abu Sa'ad informed us, Abu Ahmad informed us, Abu Ya'la narrated to us, Zuhair ibn Harb narrated to us, Al-Hasan ibn Musa narrated to us, Muti' ibn Maymun narrated to us from Abu Sa'id with a similar chain of narration.  

جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ وَرَاءَ السِّتْرِ بِيَدِهَا كِتَابٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَبَضَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ وَقَالَ مَا أَدْرِي أَيَدُ رَجُلٍ أَمْ يَدُ امْرَأَةٍ قَالَتْ بَلْ يَدُ امْرَأَةٍ قَالَ لَوْ كُنْتِ امْرَأَةً لَغَيَّرْتِ أَظَافِرَكِ بِالْحِنَّاءِ 13500 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعْدٍ أنبأ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ أنبأ أَبُو يَعْلَى ثنا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا مُطِيعُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ بِإِسْنَادٍ نَحْوَهُ
