حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لإِسْحَاقَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْوَاشِمَاتِ وَالْمُسْتَوْشِمَاتِ ، وَالنَّامِصَاتِ وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ ، وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ لِلْحُسْنِ الْمُغَيِّرَاتِ خَلْقَ اللهِ قَالَ : 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 لاَ أَلْعَنُ مَنْ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ وَهُوَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ فَقَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ : لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ مَا بَيْنَ لَوْحَيِ الْمُصْحَفِ فَمَا وَجَدْتُهُ فَقَالَ : لَئِنْ كُنْتِ قَرَأْتِيهِ لَقَدْ وَجَدْتِيهِ ، قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : {وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا} فَقَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ : فَإِنِّي أَرَى شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذَا عَلَى امْرَأَتِكَ الآنَ ، قَالَ : اذْهَبِي فَانْظُرِي ، قَالَ : فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَلَمْ تَرَ شَيْئًا ، فَجَاءَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ : مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا ، فَقَالَ : أَمَا لَوْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ نُجَامِعْهَا.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: "May Allah curse the one who does tattoos and the one who has a tattoo done, the Namisah and the Mutanamisah, and those have their teeth separated for the purpose of beautification, changing the creation of Allah." News of that reached a woman of Banu Asad who was called Umm Ya'qub, who used to read the Qur'an. She came to him and said: "What is this that I have heard about you cursing the one who does tattoos and the one who . has a tattoo done, the Namisah and the Mutanamisah, and those have their teeth separated for the purpose of beautification, changing the creation of Allah?" 'Abdullah said: "Why should I not curse those whom the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) cursed, when it is in the Book of Allah?" The woman said: "I have read the Mushaf (the Noble Qur'an) from cover to cover and I did not find it." He said: "If you had read it you would have found it." Allah says: 'And whatsoever the Messenger gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it). The woman said: "I think that I would see something of that on your wife now." He said: "Go and look." So she entered upon the wife of 'Abdullah and did not see anything. She came to him and said: "I did not see anything." He said: "If that were the case, we would not live with her."
