Sunan ad-Darimi

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Allah has cursed those who tattoo and those who get tattooed, those who pluck hair, and those who create gaps between their teeth for the sake of beauty, those who alter Allah’s creation. This hadith reached a woman of the tribe of Banu Asad who was called Umm Ya’qub. She came (to Sayyiduna Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him) and said: I have heard that you have said such and such? He said: What is wrong with me that I should not curse those whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has cursed, and this is also found in the Book of Allah. She said: I have read the entire Qur’an but did not find what you say in it. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If you had read the Qur’an carefully, you would have surely found it in it. Have you not read: “Whatever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatever he forbids you, abstain from it...” (: Hashr: 7/59), She said: Yes, I have read this. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has forbidden this. The woman said: I see that your wife does this. He said: Go and look. So she entered the house and looked carefully but did not see anything like that. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If my wife did such a violation, I would not have intercourse with her.
