Hadith 26:579

'Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, Sufyan narrated to us, from Mansur, from Ibrahim, from 'Alqama, from 'Abdullah, who said: "Allah has cursed the women who tattoo and those who have themselves tattooed, those who pluck their eyebrows, and those who file their teeth for beauty, those who change the creation of Allah." He said: This reached a woman in the house who was called Umm Ya'qub. She came to him and said: "It has reached me that you said such and such." He replied: "Why should I not curse those whom the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) cursed in the Book of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic?" She said: "I have read what is between its two covers, and I did not find it." He said: "If you had read it, you would have found it. Have you not read: 'And whatever the Messenger has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain from' [Al-Hashr: 7]?" She said: "Yes." He said: "Then the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade it." She said: "I think your wife does it." He said: "Go and look." She looked and did not see anything of what she needed [to see]. She came back and said: "I did not see anything." He said: "If it were like that, she would not have remained with us." He said: I heard it from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Abis, narrating it from Umm Ya'qub, having heard it from her, so I chose the hadith of Mansur.

حدثنا عبد الرحمن، حدثنا سفيان، عن منصور، عن إبراهيم، عن علقمة، عن عبد الله، قال: لعن الله الواشمات والمتوشمات، والمتنمصات، والمتفلجات للحسن، المغيرات خلق الله، قال: فبلغ امرأة في البيت، يقال لها: أم يعقوب، فجاءت إليه، فقالت: بلغني أنك قلت كيت وكيت؟ فقال: ما لي لا ألعن من لعن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في كتاب الله عز وجل؟ فقالت: إني لأقرأ ما بين لوحيه، فما وجدته، فقال: " إن كنت قرأتيه، فقد وجدتيه، أما قرأت: {وما آتاكم الرسول فخذوه وما نهاكم عنه فانتهوا} [الحشر: 7] قالت: بلى، قال: فإن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " نهى عنه "، قالت: إني لأظن أهلك يفعلون. قال: اذهبي فانظري، فنظرت، فلم تر من حاجتها شيئا، فجاءت، فقالت: ما رأيت شيئا. قال لو كانت كذلك، لم تجامعنا قال: وسمعته من عبد الرحمن بن عابس، يحدثه عن أم يعقوب، سمعه منها، فاخترت حديث منصور
