What is the authenticity of the hadith, "May Allah bless the smooth-skinned woman," and likewise the hadith, "You are in a time in which whoever leaves one-tenth of what he is commanded will perish..."?

The questioner : There is a hadith whose authenticity we do not know, which says What is your opinion? And there is also a hadith What is its source, and is it authentic or not?

The Shaykh : As for the first hadith, this is a hadith with no basis in the Shari'ah, and it is not possible for such a blessing to exist in the Shari'ah. This is because a woman being smooth-skinned or hairy is a matter over which her people have no ownership, no power, and no choice in being smooth or hairy. This is the creation of Allah, as we mentioned earlier. This is contrasted with some fabricated hadiths that disparage a type of human, such as the Black people, for example, "Beware of the Black people", describing them with traits by which Black people are not distinguished from white people. For example, it is possible for white people to have these bad traits, just as it is possible for Black people to have the same. Therefore, a person being smooth or hairy, being white in complexion or black in complexion, is exactly like being tall or short; one is not praised or blamed for any of that. Especially since the matter is relative, as I mentioned in some gatherings, that we look at Black people with disdain for the darkness of their bodies, and conversely, Black people look at white people with the same view. There is a known phrase where they call them today "al-burs," meaning lepers. These are relative matters. It is impossible for complete Islam to link praise or blame to something a person does not possess. Rather, praise, blame, reward, and punishment are for what issues from this accountable person, whether he is white or black, smooth or hairy. Yes. As for the hadith to the end of the hadith, this is a hadith narrated by al-Tirmidhi with a weak chain of narration. Some of them narrated it with different wording that does not come to my mind now, and it is perhaps indexed in *Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah*. Yes.
