 have been told that henna was the medicine of the messenger of god . if he had a scratch wound or ulcer he would apply henna to it until he could see its effect on his skin. if he had a headache he would cover his head with henna. no one would complain to him about pain in his legs without him ordering him to dye them with henna.
بلغني أن الحناء دواء رسول الله إذا أصابه خدش، أو جرح، أو قرحة وضع عليه الحناء حتى يرى أثره على جلده، وكان إذا صدع غلف رأسه بالحناء، وكان لا يشتكي إليه أحد وجعا برجليه إلا أمره بالحناء. أن يخضبهما به.
