حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْوَاشِمَاتِ وَالْمُتَوَشِّمَاتِ وَالْمُتَنَمِّصَاتِ وَالْمُتَفَلِّجَاتِ لِلْحُسْنِ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا أُمُّ يَعْقُوبَ فَأَتَتْهُ فَقَالَتْ قَدْ قَرَأْتُ مَا بَيْنَ اللَّوْحَيْنِ مَا وَجَدْتُ مَا قُلْتَ قَالَ مَا وَجَدْتِ وَمَا آتَاكُمْ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي لَأُرَاهُ فِي بَعْضِ أَهْلِكَ قَالَ اذْهَبِي فَانْظُرِي قَالَ فَذَهَبَتْ فَنَظَرَتْ ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ فَقَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَ لَهَا مَا جَامَعْنَاهَا

مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4229

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: May Allah curse the women who do tattoos and the women who have tattoos done, the women who pluck facial hair, the women who file teeth for the purpose of beautification. News of that reached a woman of Banu Asad who was called Umm Ya'qoob. She came to him and said: I have read what is between the covers (of the Mushaf) and I did not find what you said. He said: Have you not read (the words) "And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad (PBUH)) gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it)" [al-Hashr 59:7]? She said: I think your family do that. He said: Go and look. So she went and looked, then she came and said: I did not see anything. He said: If that were the case, she would not stay with us.
