Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ قَالَ: قَدِمْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي مِنْ سَفَرٍ وَقَدْ تَشَقَّقَتْ يَدَايَ فَخَلَّقُونِي بِزَعْفَرَانٍ فَغَدَوْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ وَقَالَ: «اذْهَبْ فَاغْسِلْ هَذَا عَنْكَ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ

Translation

Ammar ibn Yasir reported: I returned to my family from a journey with cracked hands, and they applied saffron dye to me. The next morning I went to the Prophet ﷺ and greeted him, but he did not return my greeting. He said, “Go and wash this off.” Abu Dawud transmitted it.
