Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said that a person may adorn himself with whatever he wishes.

Hazrat Ibn Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) said that there is no harm in adornment, however, deception and adulteration are disliked.

They passed by Hazrat Sahl bin Sa’d with a little girl (slave girl) who had been adorned. He called her, looked at her with affection, seated her in his lap, stroked his hand with kindness over her head, and prayed for blessings for her.

Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said that when any of you wishes to beautify his slave-girl, he should adorn her and take her outside; this will increase sustenance.

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) adorned her slave-girl and took her outside and said: Perhaps, perhaps through her, we may make a deal with some of the youths of the Quraysh. (i.e., that they might buy her)

It is narrated from Muhammad, may Allah have mercy on him, that a man dyed a cloth with Harwi color. Another person came to him and asked, "How are you selling this Harwi cloth?" He remained silent and then named its price. That person bought it from him. When he took the cloth away, it turned out not to be Harwi. The man took his dispute to Hazrat Shurayh, who said: "If you can adorn your cloth even better than this, then by all means adorn it." He enforced the sale upon him.

A boy came to Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) who was selling dates. He said, "Decorate and adorn them, that is better." And a boy came to him who was selling cloth. He said, "If the cloth is narrow, spread it out while sitting, and if the cloth is wide, spread it out while standing."
