Abdullah (b. Mas'us) said: Allah has cursed the woman who tattoo and the women who have themselves tattooed, the women who add false hair (according to the version of Muhammad bin Isa) and the women who pluck hairs from their faces (according to the version on Uthman). The agreed version then goes: The women who spaces between their teeth for beauty, changing what Allah has created. When a woman of Banu Asad called Umm Ya'qub, who read the Quran (according to the version of Uthman) heard it, she came to him (according to the agreed version) and said: I have heard that you have cursed the women who tattoo, those have themselves tattooed, those who add false hair (according to the version of Muhammad), those pluck hairs from their faces, and those who make spaces between their teeth (according to the agreed version), for changing what Allah has created (according to the version of Uthman). He said: Why should I not curse those whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had cursed and those who were mentioned in Allah's Book ? She said: I have read it from cover to cover and have not found in it. He said: I swear by Allah, if you read it, you would have found it. He then read: What the Messenger has brought you accept, and what he has forbidden refrain from it. She said: I find some of these thing in you wife. He said: Enter (the house) and see. She said: I then entered (the house) and came out. He asked: What did you see ? She said: I did not see (anything). He said: Had it been so, she would have not have been with us. This is according to the version of Uthman.

Narrated Ibn Abbas: The woman who supplies fake hair and the one who asks for it, the woman who pulls out hair for other people and the woman who depilates herself, the woman who tattoos and the one who has it done when there is no disease to justify it have been cursed. Abu Dawud said: Wasilah means the woman who adds false hair to the hair of women. Mustawsilah means the one who asks for adding the hair to her hair. namisah means a woman who plucks hair from the brow until she makes it thin; mutanammisah means the woman who depilates herself ; washimah is a woman who tattoos in the face with antimony or ink ; mustawshimah is a woman with whom it is done.

Saeed bin Jubair said: There is no harm in fastening the hair with silk or woollen threads. Abu Dawud said: It appears that he held the view that what is prohibited is the adding of the hair of women. Abu Dawud said: Ahmad (b. hanbal) used to say: There is no harm in tying the hair with silk or woollen threads.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيَكٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَالِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "لَا بَأْسَ بِالْقَرَامِلِ"، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ كَأَنَّهُ يَذْهَبُ إِلَى أَنَّ الْمَنْهِيَّ عَنْهُ شُعُورُ النِّسَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ أَحْمَدُ يَقُولُ الْقَرَامِلُ لَيْسَ بِهِ بَأْسٌ.

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: If anyone is presented some perfume, he should not return it, for it is a thing of good fragrance and light to bear.

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَعْنَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُقْرِئَ حَدَّثَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ "مَنْ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ طِيبٌ فَلَا يَرُدَّهُ فَإِنَّهُ طَيِّبُ الرِّيحِ خَفِيفُ الْمَحْمَلِ".

Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet ﷺ said: If a woman uses perfume and passes the people so that they may get its odour, she is so-and-so, meaning severe remarks.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتُ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي غُنَيْمُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "إِذَا اسْتَعْطَرَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ فَمَرَّتْ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ لِيَجِدُوا رِيحَهَا فَهِيَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَوْلًا شَدِيدًا".

Narrated Abu Hurairah: A woman met him and he found the odour of perfume in her. Her clothes were fluttering in the air. He said: O maid-servant of the Almighty, are you coming from the mosque? She replied: Yes. He said: For it did you use perfume? She replied: Yes. He said: I heard my beloved Abul Qasim ﷺ say: The prayer of a woman who uses perfume for this mosque is not accepted until she returns and takes a bath like that of sexual defilement (perfectly). Abu Dawud said: Al-i'sar means dust.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي رُهْمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَقِيَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ وَجَدَ مِنْهَا رِيحَ الطِّيبِ يَنْفَحُ وَلِذَيْلِهَا إِعْصَارٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَمَةَ الْجَبَّارِ جِئْتِ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ ؟ قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَلَهُ تَطَيَّبْتِ ؟ قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ حِبِّي أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ "لَا تُقْبَلُ صَلَاةٌ لِامْرَأَةٍ تَطَيَّبَتْ لِهَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى تَرْجِعَ فَتَغْتَسِلَ غُسْلَهَا مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ"، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ:‏‏‏‏ الْإِعْصَارُ غُبَارٌ.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said: If a woman fumigates herself with perfume, she must not attend the night prayer with us. Ibn Nufayl said: Isha' means night prayer.

حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَبُو عَلْقَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ خُصَيْفَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْبُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ "أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ أَصَابَتْ بَخُورًا فَلَا تَشْهَدَنَّ مَعَنَا الْعِشَاءَ"، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ ابْنُ نُفَيْلٍ:‏‏‏‏ عِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةِ.

Narrated Ammar ibn Yasir: I came to my family at night (after a journey) with my hands chapped and they perfumed me with saffron. In the morning I went to the Prophet ﷺ and gave him a greeting, but he did not respond to me nor did he welcome me. He said: Go away and wash this off yourself. I then went away and washed it off me. I came to him but there remained a spot of it on me. I give him a greeting, but he did not respond to me nor did he welcome me. He said: Go away and wash it off yourself. I then went away and washed it off me. I then came and gave him a greeting. He responded to me and welcomed me, saying: The angels do not attend the funeral of an unbeliever bringing good to it, nor a man who smears himself with saffron, nor a man who is sexually defiled. He said: He permitted the man who was sexually defiled to perform ablution when he slept, ate or drank.

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا عَطَاءٌ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "قَدِمْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي لَيْلًا وَقَدْ تَشَقَّقَتْ يَدَايَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَخَلَّقُونِي بِزَعْفَرَانٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَغَدَوْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَمْ يُرَحِّبْ بِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اذْهَبْ فَاغْسِلْ هَذَا عَنْكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَهَبْتُ فَغَسَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ وَقَدْ بَقِيَ عَلَيَّ مِنْهُ رَدْعٌ فَسَلَّمْتُ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ وَلَمْ يُرَحِّبْ بِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اذْهَبْ فَاغْسِلْ هَذَا عَنْكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَهَبْتُ فَغَسَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيَّ وَرَحَّبَ بِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَا تَحْضُرُ جَنَازَةَ الْكَافِرِ بِخَيْرٍ وَلَا الْمُتَضَمِّخَ بِالزَّعْفَرَانِ وَلَا الْجُنُبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَرَخَّصَ لِلْجُنُبِ إِذَا نَامَ أَوْ أَكَلَ أَوْ شَرِبَ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ".

The tradition mentioned above (No. 4164) has also been transmitted by Ammar ibn Yasir through a different chain of narrators. This version has: Ammar said: I used khaluq. The first version is more perfect; it mentioned "taking a bath". Ibn Jurayj said: I said to Umar (a transmitter): They might be wearing ihram (robe of pilgrim)? He replied: No, they were residents.

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ عَطَاءِ ابْنِ أَبِي الْخُوَارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّه سَمِعُيَحْيَى بْنَ يَعْمَرَ يُخْبِرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَخْبَرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏زَعَمَ عُمَرُ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ يَحْيَى سَمَّى ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَنَسِيَ عُمَرُ اسْمَهُ أَنَّ عَمَّارًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ تَخَلَّقْتُ بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ وَالْأَوَّلُ أَتَمُّ بِكَثِيرٍ فِيهِ ذِكْرُ الْغُسْلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ لِعُمَرَ:‏‏‏‏ وَهُمْ حُرُمٌ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏الْقَوْمُ مُقِيمُونَ.

Al-Rabi bin Anas, quoting his two grandfathers, said: We heard Abu Musa say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah does not accept the prayer of a man who has any khaluq (perfume composed of saffron) on his body. Abu Dawud said: His grandfathers were Zaid and Ziyad.
