Is the hadith that mentions that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was asked about women's matters such as kohl, and that it increases the clarity of the eye, and about perfume, that it is desirable, and about henna, and that it "removes affliction," authentic, or is there a hadith with a similar meaning?
The aforementioned wording regarding kohl, henna, and perfume was not transmitted from the Prophet, peace be upon him. However, it is narrated in Sunan Abi Dawud that he, peace be upon him, said: "The best of your kohl is antimony (ithmid), it clears the vision and grows the hair." And his saying about perfume was narrated: "From this world, women and perfume have been made beloved to me, and the comfort of my eye has been placed in prayer." As for henna, a weak was narrated: "Mix your gray hair with henna, for it is better for your faces, purer for your mouths, and more for your intercourse. Henna is the master of the scent of Paradise."
