Arabic hadith text

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 ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muslim ibn Ibrahim narrated to us: Ghibtah bint Amr al-Mujashiyah told me: My aunt Umm al-Hasan told me, from her grandmother, from Aisha, may God be pleased with her: Hind bint Utbah said, “Prophet of God, accept my pledge of allegiance.” He said, “I will not accept your pledge until you change the color of your palms, so they no longer look like the paws of a predatory beast.”
