4169. It was narrated from 'Alqamah, from 'Abdullāh that he said: "Allāh has cursed the women who tattoo and the women for whom that is done" – Muḥammad (one of the narrators) said: "And the women who apply hair extensions;" Uṭṭhān (one of the narrators) said: "and Al- Mutanammiṣāt;"[1] then the two reports concur – "and the women who have their teeth separated for the purpose of beautification, altering the creation of Allāh." News of that reached a woman of Banū Asad who was called Umm Ya'qūb – 'Uthmān added: "who used to read the Qur'ān." Then the two reports concur – "She came to him and said: 'I have heard that you cursed the women who tattoo and the women who have that done'" – Muḥammad said: "and the women who apply hair extensions;" 'Uthmān said: "and Al-Mutanammiṣāt." Then the two reports concur – "and those who have their teeth filed" – 'Uthmān said: "for the purpose of beautification" – "altering the creation of Allāh.' He said: 'Why should I not curse those whom the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ cursed, and it is mentioned in the Book of Allāh, Exalted is He?' She said: 'I have read what is between the covers of the Muṣḥaf and I did not find it.' He said: 'By Allāh, if you had read it you would have found it.' Then he recited: "And whatsoever the Messenger gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it)."[2] She said: 'I see some of that in your wife.' He said: 'Go in and look.' So she went in, then she came out, and he said: 'What did you see?'" Uthmān said: "She said: 'I did not see (anything).' He said: 'If that had been the case, she would not have stayed with us.'" (Sahih)

4169 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، الْمَعْنَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْوَاشِمَاتِ، وَالْمُسْتَوْشِمَاتِ» - قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: «وَالْوَاصِلَاتِ»، وَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: «وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ» ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا - «وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ لِلْحُسْنِ، الْمُغَيِّرَاتِ خَلْقَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ»، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا: أُمُّ يَعْقُوبَ، - زَادَ عُثْمَانُ: كَانَتْ تَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا - فَأَتَتْهُ، فَقَالَتْ: بَلَغَنِي عَنْكَ أَنَّكَ لَعَنْتَ الْوَاشِمَاتِ وَالْمُسْتَوْشِمَاتِ، - قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: وَالْوَاصِلَاتِ، وَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ، ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا: - وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ، - قَالَ عُثْمَانُ: لِلْحُسْنِ، الْمُغَيِّرَاتِ خَلْقَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى -، فَقَالَ : «وَمَا لِي لَا أَلْعَنُ مَنْ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى؟» قَالَتْ: لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ مَا بَيْنَ لَوْحَيِ الْمُصْحَفِ فَمَا وَجَدْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ كُنْتِ قَرَأْتِيهِ لَقَدْ وَجَدْتِيهِ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: {وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا} [الحشر: 7]، قَالَتْ: إِنِّي أَرَى بَعْضَ هَذَا عَلَى امْرَأَتِكَ، قَالَ: فَادْخُلِي فَانْظُرِي، فَدَخَلَتْ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَتْ، فَقَالَ: مَا رَأَيْتِ؟ - وَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: - فَقَالَتْ: مَا رَأَيْتُ، فَقَالَ: لَوْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ مَا كَانَتْ مَعَنَا
