Hadith 4
Combing the Hair (Kitab Al-Tarajjul)
Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:
When Hind, daughter of Utbah, said: Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah, accept my allegiance, he replied; I shall not accept your allegiance till you make a difference to the palms of your hands; for they look like the paws of a beast of prey.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَتْنِي غِبْطَةُ بِنْتُ عَمْرٍو الْمُجَاشِعِيَّةُ، قَالَتْ حَدَّثَتْنِي عَمَّتِي أُمُّ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهَا، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، رضى الله عنها أَنَّ هِنْدًا بِنْتَ عُتْبَةَ، قَالَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ بَايِعْنِي . قَالَ
لاَ أُبَايِعُكِ حَتَّى تُغَيِّرِي كَفَّيْكِ كَأَنَّهُمَا كَفَّا سَبُعٍ
