ibn Mas'ud · The Book of Adornment

"I heard the Prophet say: 'Some of the best things with which you can change gray hair are Henna and Katam.'"

"I heard a woman asking 'Aishah about dyeing the hair with Henna. She said: 'There is nothing wrong with it, but I do not like to do it because my beloved- meaning the Prophet - disliked its smell.'"

A woman came to 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud and said: "I am a woman with little hair, is it alright for me to add extensions to my hair?" He said: "No." She said: "Is it something that you heard from the Messenger of Allah and I find it in the Book of Allah." And he quoted the Hadith.

"The Messenger of Allah cursed the women who do tattoos and the women who have them done, Al-Mutanammisat, and the women who have their teeth separated for the sake of beauty, those who change (the creation of Allah.)"

"Abdullah said: 'The women who have their teeth separated..." and he quoted the Hadith.'"

"I saw Ibn 'Umar dyeing his beard yellow and I asked him about that. 'He said: "I saw the Prophet dye his beard yellow."

"The Prophet used to wear Sibtiyyah sandals and dye his beard yellow with Wars and saffron." And Ibn 'Umar used to do that.

"I heard Mu'awiyah say, when he was on the Minbar in Al-Madinah, and he brought out a hairpiece from his sleeve: 'O people of Al-Madinah, where are your knowledgeable ones? I heard the Messenger of Allah forbid such things as this, and he said: "The Children of Israel were destroyed when their women started to wear things like this."

"Mu'awiyah came to Al-Madinah and addressed us. He took hold of a hairpiece and said: 'I never used to see anyone do this except the Jews. The Messenger of Allah heard of it and he called it "giving a false impression."

She put up a curtain on which there were images, then the Messenger of Allah used to recline on them.'"
