Sunan Ibn Majah 1989

Translation

"The Messenger of Allah cursed the woman who does tattoos and the one who has them done, and those who pluck their eyebrows and file their teeth for the purpose of beautification, and those who change the creation of Allah." News of that reached a woman of Banu Asad who was called Umm Ya'qub. She came to him and said: "I have heard that you said such and such." He said: 'Why should I not curse those whom the Messenger of Allah cursed ? And it is in the Book of Allah.'' She said: "I read what is between its two covers 'and I have not found that." He said: "If you read it properly you would have found it. Have you not read the words: 'And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad) gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it).'?" She said: "Of course." He said: 'The Messenger of Allah forbade that." She said: 'I think that your wife does it.' He said: " Go and look." So she went and looked and she did not see what she wanted. She said: "I have not seen anything!’ 'Abdullah said: "If she was as you say, I would not have kept her with me. "

• فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا أُمُّ يَعْقُوبَ فَجَاءَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكَ أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ كَيْتَ وَكَيْتَ. قَالَ وَمَالِي لاَ أَلْعَنُ مَنْ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَهُوَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ قَالَتْ إِنِّي لأَقْرَأُ مَا بَيْنَ لَوْحَيْهِ فَمَا وَجَدْتُهُ. قَالَ إِنْ كُنْتِ قَرَأْتِهِ فَقَدْ وَجَدْتِهِ أَمَا قَرَأْتِ [quran sura="59" aya_start="7" aya_end="7"]{وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا}[/quran] قَالَتْ بَلَى. قَالَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَدْ نَهَى عَنْهُ. قَالَتْ فَإِنِّي لأَظُنُّ أَهْلَكَ يَفْعَلُونَ. قَالَ اذْهَبِي فَانْظُرِي. فَذَهَبَتْ فَنَظَرَتْ فَلَمْ تَرَ مِنْ حَاجَتِهَا شَيْئًا. قَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا. قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَتْ كَمَا تَقُولِينَ مَا جَامَعَتْنَا

• Dāraquṭnī

  وسئل عن حديث أبي وائل عن عبد الله الحديث فقال حدث به داود بن رشيد عن أبي حفص الأبار عن منصور عن أبي وائل عن عبد الله وهو وهم والصواب عن منصور عن إبراهيم عن علقمة عن عبد الله

  machine translationHe was also asked about the hadith of Abū Wāʾil, from ʿAbdullāh. He said: Dāwūd b. Rashīd narrated it from Abū Ḥafṣ al-Abbār, from Manṣūr, from Abū Wāʾil, from ʿAbdullāh. This is an error; the correct version is from Manṣūr, from Ibrāhīm, from ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbdullāh. Report a problem

  سئل عن حديث علقمة عن عبد الله عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لعن الله الواشمات فقال يرويه الأعمش ومنصور عن إبراهيم عن علقمة عن عبد الله حدث به عن الأعمش متصلا جرير بن حازم وتابعه جعفر بن محمد بن الفضيل الراسبي عن الفريابي عن الثوري عن الأعمش وغيرهما يرويه عن الأعمش عن إبراهيم عن عبد الله وأما منصور فلم يختلف عنه رواه عن إبراهيم عن علقمة عن عبد الله وخالفه إبراهيم بن مهاجر فرواه عن إبراهيم عن أم يعقوب الأسدية عن عبد الله والصحيح ما قاله منصور

  machine translationHe was asked about the hadith of ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbdullāh, from the Prophet ﷺ: "May Allah curse the women who tattoo." He said: Al-Aʿmash and Manṣūr narrate it from Ibrāhīm, from ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbdullāh. Jarīr b. Ḥāzim narrated it from al-Aʿmash with a connected chain, and Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad b. al-Faḍl al-Rāsibī corroborated him, from al-Firyābī, from al-Thawrī, from al-Aʿmash. Others narrate it from al-Aʿmash, from Ibrāhīm, from ʿAbdullāh. As for Manṣūr, there is no disagreement about him: he narrated it from Ibrāhīm, from ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbdullāh. Ibrāhīm b. Muhājir differed from him and narrated it from Ibrāhīm, from Umm Yaʿqūb al-Asadiyyah, from ʿAbdullāh. The correct version is what Manṣūr said. Report a problem
