حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ أَنْبَأَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ عَزْرَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ الْعُرَنِيِّ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الجَزَّارِ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً جَاءَتْ إِلَى ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَتْ أُنْبِئْتُ أَنَّكَ تَنْهَى عَنْ الْوَاصِلَةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَتْ أَشَيْءٌ تَجِدُهُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ أَمْ سَمِعْتَهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَجِدُهُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَعَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ تَصَفَّحْتُ مَا بَيْنَ دَفَّتَيْ الْمُصْحَفِ فَمَا وَجَدْتُ فِيهِ الَّذِي تَقُولُ قَالَ فَهَلْ وَجَدْتِ فِيهِ { مَا آتَاكُمْ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا } قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ النَّامِصَةِ وَالْوَاشِرَةِ وَالْوَاصِلَةِ وَالْوَاشِمَةِ إِلَّا مِنْ دَاءٍ قَالَتْ الْمَرْأَةُ فَلَعَلَّهُ فِي بَعْضِ نِسَائِكَ قَالَ لَهَا ادْخُلِي فَدَخَلَتْ ثُمَّ خَرَجَتْ فَقَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ بَأْسًا قَالَ مَا حَفِظْتُ إِذًا وَصِيَّةَ الْعَبْدِ الصَّالِحِ { وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُخَالِفَكُمْ إِلَى مَا أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ }.
English Translation
A woman came to Ibn Mas'ud and said: 'I have been told that you prohibit hair extensions.' He said: 'Yes.' She said: 'Is that something you find in the Book of Allah, or did you hear it from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)?' He said: 'I find it in the Book of Allah and from the Messenger of Allah.' She said: 'By Allah, I have searched through the entire Quran and did not find what you say.' He said: 'Did you not find in it: Whatever the Messenger gives you, take it; and whatever he forbids you, abstain from it (59:7)?' She said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbid plucking (eyebrows), filing (teeth), hair extensions, and tattooing, except in case of disease.' The woman said: 'Perhaps it is something among your women?' He told her: 'Go in and look.' She went in and came out saying: 'I see nothing wrong.' He said: 'Then you have not heeded the advice of the righteous servant (Shu'ayb): I do not wish to differ from you in that which I forbid you (11:88).'
