وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم تُسْأَلُ عَنِ الْمُحْرِمِ أَيَحُكُّ جَسَدَهُ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَلْيَحْكُكْهُ وَلْيَشْدُدْ وَلَوْ رُبِطَتْ يَدَاىَ وَلَمْ أَجِدْ إِلاَّ رِجْلَىَّ لَحَكَكْتُ .


Yahya related to me from Malik from Alqama ibn Abi Alqama thathis mother said, "I heard A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allahbless him and grant him peace, being asked whether some one in ihramcould scratch their body or not, and she said, 'Yes, he can scratch itand do so as hard as he pleases. I would scratch even if my hands weretied and I could only use my feet.' "
