Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِهْزَمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي كَرِيمَةُ ابْنَةُ هَمَّامٍ قَالَتْ دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ فَأَخْلَوْهُ لِعَائِشَةَ فَسَأَلَتْهَا امْرَأَةٌ مَا تَقُولِي يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي الْحِنَّاءِ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ حَبِيبِي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْجِبُهُ لَوْنُهُ وَيَكْرَهُ رِيحَهُ وَلَيْسَ بِمُحَرَّمٍ عَلَيْكُنَّ بَيْنَ كُلِّ حَيْضَتَيْنِ أَوْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ حَيْضَةٍ.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Ishaq told us: Muhammad ibn Mihzam told us: Karimah bint Hammam told me, who said: I entered the Sacred Mosque, and they cleared it for A'ishah. A woman asked her, "What do you say, O Mother of the Believers, about henna?" She said, "My beloved (peace and blessings be upon him) liked its color but disliked its smell, and it is not forbidden for you between every two menstrual periods, or at every menstrual period."
