The Messenger of Allah ﷺ cursed the women who tattoo and those who have themselves tattooed, those who pluck their facial hair and those who have it plucked, and those who file their teeth for beauty, altering what Allah has created.Word of this reached a woman from Banu Asad called Umm Yaqub. She came to him and said, "I have heard that you said such and such."He replied, "Why should I not curse those whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ cursed, when it is in the Book of Allah?"She said, "I have read everything between its two covers and I did not find it."He said, "If you had truly read it, you would have found it. Have you not read 'Whatever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatever he forbids you, abstain from it' [Hashr 59:7]?"She said, "Yes."He said, "Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has indeed forbidden it."She said, "But I think your own wife does these things."He said, "Go and see for yourself."So she went and looked, but found nothing of what she was searching for.She said, "I saw nothing."Abdullah said, "Had she been as you say, she would not be sharing my life."
حدثنا أبو عمر حفص بن عمرو وعبد الرحمن بن عمر قالا حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن مهدي حدثنا سفيان عن منصور عن إبراهيم عن علقمة
لعن رسول الله ﷺ الواشمات والمستوشمات والمتنمصات والمتفلجات للحسن المغيرات لخلق الله فبلغ ذلك امرأة من بني أسد يقال لها أم يعقوب فجاءت إليه فقالت بلغني عنك أنك قلت كيت وكيت قال وما لي لا ألعن من لعن رسول الله ﷺ وهو في كتاب الله قالت إني لأقرأ ما بين لوحيه فما وجدته قال إن كنت قرأته فقد وجدته أما قرأت {وما آتاكم الرسول فخذوه وما نهاكم عنه فانتهوا} قالت بلى قال فإن رسول الله ﷺ قد نهى عنه قالت فإني لأظن أهلك يفعلون قال اذهبي فانظري فذهبت فنظرت فلم تر من حاجتها شيئا قالت ما رأيت شيئا قال عبد الله لو كانت كما تقولين ما جامعتنا
