كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا أُمُّ طَيْبَةَ تَخْفِضُ الْجَوَارِيَ فَدَعَاهَا النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالَ لَهَا يَا أُمَّ طَيْبَةَ إِذَا خَفَضْتِ الْجَوَارِيَ فَأَشِمِّي وَ لَا تُجْحِفِي فَإِنَّهُ أَصْفَى لِلَوْنِ الْوَجْهِ وَ أَحْظَى عِنْدَ الْبَعْلِ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Khalaf Bin Hammad, from Amro Bin Sabit, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘There used to be a woman called Umm Tayba who used to circumcise the girls. So the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> called her over and said to her: ‘O Umm Tayba! Whenever you circumcise the girls, so scrape (a little) and not not overdo it, for it is cleaner for the surface complexion and more pleasurable in presence of the husband’.
