Hadith 5504

أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ الرَّمَادِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ ، قَالَ : جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ إِلَى ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَقَالَتْ : إِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ : " لُعِنَتِ الْوَاشِمَةُ وَالْمُسْتَوْشِمَةُ ، وَالنَّامِصَةُ وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَةُ " ، وَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ مَا بَيْنَ اللَّوْحَيْنِ ، فَمَا وَجَدْتُ مَا تَقُولُ ، قَالَ : بَلَى ، وَجَدْتِ ، وَلَكِنَّكِ لا تَعْلَمِينَ ، قَالَتْ : وَأَيْنَ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ : أَمَا قَرَأْتِ وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا سورة الحشر آية 7 ، قَالَتْ : بَلَى ، قَالَ : هُوَ ذَاكَ ، قَالَتْ : أَمَا إِنِّي لأَرَى عَلَى أَهْلِكَ بَعْضَ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : فَادْخُلِي فَانْظُرِي ، فَدَخَلَتْ فَنَظَرَتْ ، فَلَمْ تَرَ شَيْئًا ، فَقَالَ لَهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : هَلْ رَأَيْتِ شَيْئًا ؟ قَالَتْ : لا ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : أَمَا إِنَّكِ لَوْ رَأَيْتِ شَيْئًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، مَا صَحِبْنَنِي .
Alqamah narrates: A woman from the tribe of Banu Asad came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud. She said: I have come to know that you say: The woman who tattoos and the one who gets tattooed, the one who plucks hair and the one who gets hair plucked, are cursed. Whereas I have read the entire Qur'an. I did not find in it what you state. So Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You would have found it, but you do not have knowledge. She asked: What is that? Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Have you not read this verse: "Whatever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatever he forbids you from, abstain from it." The woman replied: Yes. So Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This is what is meant. The woman said: I think one of your noble wives also does such a thing. So Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Go inside the house and see her. The woman went inside the house. She examined, but did not find anything like that. Sayyiduna Abdullah asked the woman: Did you see anything like that? She replied: No. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If you had seen any such thing, then (i.e. a wife who did such a thing) would not have remained with me.
