و حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو غَسَّانَ الْمِسْمَعِيُّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَا أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَاذٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِنَّکُمْ قَدْ أَحْدَثْتُمْ زِيَّ سَوْئٍ وَإِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَی عَنْ الزُّورِ قَالَ وَجَائَ رَجُلٌ بِعَصًا عَلَی رَأْسِهَا خِرْقَةٌ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ أَلَا وَهَذَا الزُّورُ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ يَعْنِي مَا يُکَثِّرُ بِهِ النِّسَائُ أَشْعَارَهُنَّ مِنْ الْخِرَقِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 5581
Sa, id b. Musayyib reported that Mu'awiya said one day: Should I narrate to you the evil make-up. Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbade cheating. It was during that time that a person came with a staff and there was a cloth on its head, whereupon Mu, awiya said: Behold, that is cheating. Qatada said: This implies how women artificially increase their hair with the help of rags.
