\nNarrated Alqama:\n\n
`Abdullah (bin Masud) said. \"Allah curses those ladies who practice tattooing and those who get \nthemselves tattooed, and those ladies who remove the hair from their faces and those who make \nartificial spaces between their teeth in order to look more beautiful whereby they change Allah's \ncreation.\" His saying reached a lady from Bani Asd called Um Yaqub who came (to `Abdullah) and \nsaid, \"I have come to know that you have cursed such-and-such (ladies)?\" He replied, \"Why should I \nnot curse these whom Allah's Apostle has cursed and who are (cursed) in Allah's Book!\" Um Yaqub \nsaid, \"I have read the whole Qur'an, but I did not find in it what you say.\" He said, \"Verily, if you have \nread it (i.e. the Qur'an), you have found it. Didn't you read: \n'And whatsoever the Apostle gives you take it and whatsoever he forbids you, you abstain (from it). \n(59.7) \nShe replied, \"Yes, I did,\" He said, \"Verily, Allah's Apostle forbade such things.\" \"She said, \"But I see \nyour wife doing these things?\" He said, \"Go and watch her.\" She went and watched her but could not \nsee anything in support of her statement. On that he said, \"If my wife was as you thought, I would not \nkeep her in my company.\"","english_grade":"Sahih","last_updated":null,"xrefs":""}
