Lu'lu' wal-Marjan

Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that Allah has cursed those women who tattoo and those who get themselves tattooed, those who pluck facial hair, and those who create gaps between their front teeth for beauty, thereby altering the creation of Allah. The words of Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) reached a woman of the tribe of Banu Asad, who was known as Umm Ya'qub. She came and said, "I have come to know that you have cursed such and such women?" Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Why should I not curse those whom the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) has cursed, and who are accursed according to the Book of Allah?" The woman said, "I have also read the Qur'an, but I have not found what you say anywhere in it." He said, "If you had read it carefully, you would surely have found it. Have you not read this verse: 'Whatever the Messenger (peace be upon him) gives you, take it, and whatever he forbids you, abstain from it.'" She said, "I have read it." Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) has forbidden these things." Upon this, the woman said, "I think your wife also does this." He said, "Alright, go and see." The woman went and looked, but she did not find any such blameworthy thing there. Then Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "If my wife did such a thing, could she remain with me? Never."
