The reciter: Isحاق ibn Ibrāhīm narrated to us, Jarīr informed us, from Mansūr, from Ibrāhīm, from ʿAlqamah, who said: لعن عبد الله، الواشمات والمتنمصات، والمتفلجات للحسن المغيّرات خلق الله، فقالت أم يعقوب: ما هذا؟
قال عبد الله: وما لي لا ألعن من لعن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وفي كتاب الله؟ قالت: والله لقد قرأت ما بين اللوحين فما وجدته، قال: والله لئن قرأتيه لقد وجدتيه: وَما ءاتاكُمُ الرَّسولُ فَخُذوهُ وَما نَهاكُم عَنهُ فَانتَهوا ʿAbd Allāh cursed the women who tattoo, the women who pluck their eyebrows, and the women who widen their gait for the sake of beauty, who alter the creation of Allah. Umm Yaʿqūb said: What is this? ʿAbd Allāh said: Why should I not curse the one whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed, and who is mentioned in the Book of Allah? She said: By Allah, I have read what is between the two covers and I did not find it. He said: By Allah, if you had read it, you would have found it: And whatever the Messenger has given you—take; and whatever he has forbidden you—refrain from.
