حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُبَارَکِ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي کَرِيمَةُ بِنْتُ هَمَّامٍ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَسَأَلَتْهَا عَنْ خِضَابِ الْحِنَّائِ فَقَالَتْ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ وَلَکِنْ أَکْرَهُهُ کَانَ حَبِيبِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَکْرَهُ رِيحَهُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد تَعْنِي خِضَابَ شَعْرِ الرَّأْسِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4164
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: Karimah, daughter of Hammam, told that a woman came to Aishah (Allah be pleased with her) and asked her about dyeing with henna. She replied: There is no harm, but I do not like it. My beloved, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, disliked its odour. Abu Dawud said: She meant the colour of hair of the head.
