Sura Al-Hashr from 4 to 9


4. That is because they opposed Allâh and His Messenger ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) . And whosoever opposes Allâh, then verily, Allâh is Severe in punishment.
5. What you ( O Muslims ) cut down of the palm- trees ( of the enemy ) , or you left them standing on their stems, it was by Leave of Allâh, and in order that He might disgrace the Fâsiqûn ( the rebellious, the disobedient to Allâh ) .
6. And what Allâh gave as booty ( Fai’ ) to His Messenger ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) from them, for this you made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry. But Allâh gives power to His Messengers over whomsoever He wills. And Allâh is Able to do all things.
7. What Allâh gave as booty ( Fai’ ) to His Messenger ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) from the people of the townships - it is for Allâh, His Messenger ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) , the kindred ( of Messenger Muhammad ( saas ) ) , the orphans, Al- Masâkin ( the poor ) , and the wayfarer, in order that it may not become a fortune used by the rich among you. And whatsoever the Messenger ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain ( from it ) . [ 1 ] And fear Allâh; verily, Allâh is Severe in punishment.
8. ( And there is also a share in this booty ) for the poor emigrants, who were expelled from their homes and their property, seeking Bounties from Allâh and to please Him, and helping Allâh ( i.e. helping His religion ) and His Messenger ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) . Such are indeed the truthful ( to what they say ) .
9. And ( it is also for ) those who, before them, had homes ( in Al- Madinah ) and had adopted the Faith, love those who emigrate to them, and have no jealousy in their breasts for that which they have been given ( from the booty of Banû An- Nadîr ) , and give them ( emigrants ) preference over themselves even though they were in need of that. And whosoever is saved from his own covetousness, such are they who will be the successful.

[1] (V.59:7) Narrated ‘Alqamah: ‘Abdullâh (bin Mas‘ûd) said. "Allâh curses those ladies who practise tatooing and those who get themselves tatooed, and those ladies who get their hair removed from their eyebrows and faces except the beard and moustache, and those who make artificial spaces between their teeth in order to look more beautiful whereby they change Allâh’s creation." His saying reached a lady from Banû Asad, called Umm Ya‘qûb, who came (to ‘Abdullâh) and said, "I have come to know that you have cursed such-and-such (ladies)?" He replied, "Why should I not curse these whom Allâh’s Messenger (saas) has cursed and who are (cursed) in Allâh’s Book!" Umm Ya‘qûb said, "I have read the whole Qur’ân, but I did not find in it what you say." He said, "Verily, if you have read it (i.e. the Qur’ân), you have found it. Didn’t you read:
« And whatsoever the Messenger ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain ( from it ) . » ( V.59:7 ) .
She replied, « Yes, I did » , He said, « Verily, Allâh’s Messenger ( saas ) forbade such things. » She said, « But I see your wife doing these things? » He said, « Go and watch her » . She went and watched her but could not see anything in support of her statement. On that he said, « If my wife was as you thought, I would not keep her in my company » ( i.e. I would divorce her ) . ( Sahih Al- Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadîth No.408 ) .
Narrated ‘Abdullâh ( bin Mas‘ûd ) ( raa ) : Allâh’s Messenger ( saas ) has cursed the lady who uses false hair. ( See Sahih Al- Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadîth No.409 ) .
