Musnad Ahmad 3945

Translation

✧ A woman came to Ibn Mas'ud and said, "I have been informed that you prohibit using the waseelah (a specific type of connected necklace). He replied, "Yes." She asked, "Is there anything you find in the Book of Allah or heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding this?" He said, "I find it in the Book of Allah and also heard it from the Messenger of Allah." She said, "By Allah, I have thoroughly searched between the pages of the Qur'an and did not find what you say." He asked, "Did you find in it the verse: {Whatever the Messenger has given you, take; and what he has forbidden you, refrain from} [Surah Al-Hashr 7]?" She replied, "Yes, I did." He said, "Well, I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibiting the use of al-namisah (a specific form of tattooing), al-washirah (a form of tattooing that widens the gap between eye lashes), al-wasilah (the mentioned necklace) and al-washimah (any form of tattooing) except in the case of a medical need." The woman asked, "Perhaps it is permitted for some of your women?" He said to her, "Enter." So she entered and then left and said, "I did not see any harm in it." He replied, "Then you have not preserved the will of the righteous servant, {And I do not intend to differ from you in that which I have prohibited you} [Surah Hud 88]."
