Sunan an-Nasai 5090 (Book 48, Hadith 51) #19622
The Prophet's Dislike of Henna

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) disliked the smell of henna, and so 'Aishah did not use it.

Karimah said: "I heard a woman asking 'Aishah about dyeing the hair with Henna. She said: 'There is nothing wrong with it, but I do not like to do it because my beloved- meaning the Prophet SAW- disliked its smell'."
أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زَيْدٍ، سَعِيدُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ كَرِيمَةَ، قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ، سَأَلَتْهَا امْرَأَةٌ عَنِ الْخِضَابِ، بِالْحِنَّاءِ قَالَتْ لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ وَلَكِنْ أَكْرَهُ هَذَا لأَنَّ حِبِّي كَانَ يَكْرَهُ رِيحَهُ ‏.‏ تَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ

EXPLANATIONS:

'Aishah replied that there was nothing wrong with it, but she personally did not like to do it because the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) disliked its smell. This hadith teaches us that we should respect the wishes of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Even if something is permissible in Islam, we should still be mindful of what he liked or disliked and try to follow his example as much as possible. We can also learn from this hadith that even though something may be allowed in Islam, we should still think carefully before doing it if it goes against our own personal preferences or values.
