أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، نا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، نا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، نا جَرِيرٌ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنا أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، نا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أنا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: " لَعَنَ اللهُ الْوَاشِمَاتِ وَالْمُسْتَوْشِمَاتِ، وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ، وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ لِلْحُسْنِ الْمُغَيِّرَاتِ خَلْقَ اللهِ " فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا أُمُّ يَعْقُوبَ، وَكَانَتْ تَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ فَأَتَتْهُ فَقَالَتْ: مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكَ أَنَّكَ لَعَنْتَ الْوَاشِمَاتِ وَالْمُسْتَوْشِمَاتِ، وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ، وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ لِلْحُسْنِ الْمُغَيِّرَاتِ خَلْقَ اللهِ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: وَمَا لِي لَا أَلْعَنُ مَنْ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ فَقَالَتْ: لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ مَا بَيْنَ لَوْحَيِ الْمُصْحَفِ فَمَا وَجَدْتُهُ فَقَالَ: لَئِنْ كُنْتِ قَرَأْتِيهِ لَقَدْ وَجَدْتِيهِ، قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ ⦗٥١٠⦘ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا} [الحشر: ٧] قَالَتْ: فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذَا عَلَى امْرَأَتِكَ، قَالَ: فَاذْهَبِي فَانْظُرِي فَنَظَرَتْ فَلَمْ تَرَ شَيْئًا، فَقَالَتْ: مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: أَمَا لَوْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ تُجَامِعْنَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ إِسْحَاقَ، رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ، وَمُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "May Allah curse the women who tattoo and those who have themselves tattooed, those who pluck the hair of their eyebrows and cheeks, those who file their teeth thin for beauty, and those who alter the creation of Allah." News of this reached a woman of the tribe of Banu Asad called Umm Ya'qub, who used to recite the Qur'an. She came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: A hadith has reached me from you that you curse the women who tattoo and those who have themselves tattooed, those who pluck their eyebrows, those who file their teeth thin for beauty, and those who alter the creation of Allah. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Why should I not curse the one whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed, and who is cursed in the Book of Allah? The woman said: I have read everything between the two covers, that is, the whole Qur'an, and I did not find in it what you are saying. Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) explained: Had you read the Qur'an, you would have found this ruling in it, for Allah, the Lord of Might, says: "Whatever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatever he forbids you, refrain from it." [Surah al-Hashr: 7] The woman replied: I have seen some of these things on your wife. He said: Go and look. So she went and looked, and found nothing. She said: I did not see anything. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Had she been like that, we would never have been intimate with her.
