وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَامَ حَجَّ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَتَنَاوَلَ قُصَّةً مِنْ شَعَرٍ كَانَتْ فِي يَدِ حَرَسِيٍّ يَقُولُ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَيْنَ عُلَمَاؤُكُمْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَنْهَى عَنْ مِثْلِ هَذِهِ وَيَقُولُ " إِنَّمَا هَلَكَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ حِينَ اتَّخَذَ هَذِهِ نِسَاؤُهُمْ " .


Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Humay ibn Abdar-Rahman ibn Awf heard Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan say from the mimbar inthe year that he performed the hajj, holding a lock of hair (i.e. ahairpiece) which he took from one of his guards, "People of Madina!Where are your learned men? I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allahbless him and grant him peace, forbid the like of this, saying, 'TheBanu Israil were destroyed when their women started to use this.' "
