وَعَنْ حميْدِ بن عبْدِ الرَّحْمن أنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُعاويَةَ رضي اللَّه عنْهُ عامَ حجَّ علَى المِنْبَر وَتَنَاول قُصَّةً مِنْ شَعْرٍ كَانَتْ في يَدِ حَرِسيٍّ فَقَالَ: يَا أهْل المَدِينَةِ أيْنَ عُلَمَاؤكُمْ؟، سمِعْتُ النبيَّ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم يَنْهَى عنْ مِثْلِ هَذِهِ ويقُولُ: "إنًَّمَا هَلَكَتْ بنُو إسْرَائِيل حِينَ اتخذ هذه نِسَاؤُهُمْ" متفقٌ عليه.

English Translation

Humaid bin 'Abdur-Rahman (May Allah be pleased wth him) said:: I saw Mu'awiyah (May Allah be pleased with him) during the Hajj (pilgrimage) standing on the pulpit. He took from the guard a bunch of hair, and said: "O people of Al-Madinah! Where are your scholars? (Why do they do not prohibit you) I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) prohibiting from using this (false hair) and saying, 'The people of Bani Israel were ruined when their women wore such hair."'
