5939. Narrated 'Alqama: 'Abdullah cursed those women who practised tattooing and those who removed hair from their faces, eye-brows etc. and those who created spaces between their teeth artificially to look beautiful, as such ladies alter the features created by Allah. Umm Ya'qub said, "What is that?" 'Abdullah said, "Why should I not curse those who were cursed by Allah's Messenger ﷺ and are referred to in Allah's Book?" She said to him, "By Allah, I have read the whole Qur'an but I have not found such a thing." 'Abdullah said, "By Allah, if you had read it (carefully) you would have found it. (Allah says:) 'And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ) gives you take it and whatsoever he forbids you abstain (from it)'. (V.59:7)

5939 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ: «لَعَنَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، الوَاشِمَاتِ وَالمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ، وَالمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ لِلْحُسْنِ المُغَيِّرَاتِ خَلْقَ اللَّهِ» فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ يَعْقُوبَ: مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: «وَمَا لِي لاَ أَلْعَنُ مَنْ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، وَفِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ؟» قَالَتْ: وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ مَا بَيْنَ اللَّوْحَيْنِ فَمَا وَجَدْتُهُ، قَالَ: " وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ قَرَأْتِيهِ لَقَدْ وَجَدْتِيهِ: {وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا} [الحشر: 7] "
