4886. Narrated 'Alqama: 'Abdullāh (bin Mas'ūd) said, "Allāh curses those ladies who practise tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and those ladies who get their hair removed from their eyebrows and faces (except the beard and moustache) [v] and those who make artificial spaces between their teeth in order to look more beautiful whereby they change Allāh's Creation." His saying reached a lady from Banī Asad called Umm Ya'qūb who came (to 'Abdullāh) and said, "I have come to know that you have cursed such and such (ladies)?" He replied, "Why should I not curse these whom Allāh's Messenger ﷺ has cursed and who are (cursed) in Allāh's Book!" Umm Ya'qūb said, "I have read the whole Qur'ān, but I did not find in it what you say." He said, "Verily, if you have read it (i.e., the Qur'ān), you have found it. Didn't you read: '...And whatsoever the Messenger (Muḥammad ﷺ) gives you take it and whatsoever he forbids you, you abstain (from it)...'" (V.59:7) She replied "Yes, I did." He said, "Verily, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ forbade such things." She said, "But I see your wife doing these things!" He said, "Go and take a look at her." She went and watched her but could not see anything in support of her statement. On that he said, "If my wife was as you thought, I would not keep her in my company."(1)
