Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 48, Hadith 67

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “A woman who did tattoos was brought to ‘Umar and he said: ‘I adjure you by Allah, did any one among you hear (anything from) the Messenger of Allah ?’ Abu Hurairah said: “I stood up and said: ‘O Commander of the Believers! I heard him (say something).’ He said: ‘What did you hear?’ I said: ‘I heard him say: Do not do tattoos and do not have tattoos done.'”

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ أُتِيَ عُمَرُ بِامْرَأَةٍ تَشِمُ فَقَالَ أَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ هَلْ سَمِعَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَمَا سَمِعْتَهُ قُلْتُ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ ‏
“‏ لاَ تَشِمْنَ وَلاَ تَسْتَوْشِمْنَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏
