سُئِلَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْقَرَامِلِ الَّتِي تَضَعُهَا النِّسَاءُ فِي رُءُوسِهِنَّ يَصِلْنَهُ بِشُعُورِهِنَّ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ بِمَا تَزَيَّنَتْ بِهِ لِزَوْجِهَا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لَعَنَ الْوَاصِلَةَ وَ الْمَوْصُولَةَ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ هُنَاكَ إِنَّمَا لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الْوَاصِلَةَ الَّتِي تَزْنِي فِي شَبَابِهَا فَلَمَّا كَبِرَتْ قَادَتِ النِّسَاءَ إِلَى الرِّجَالِ فَتِلْكَ الْوَاصِلَةُ وَ الْمَوْصُولَةُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hashim, from Salim Bin Mukram, from Sa’ad Al Iskaf who said, ‘Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> was asked about the ribbons which the women place in their heads attached to their hairs, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem for the woman with whatever she adorns herself with for her husband’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘It has reached us that Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> cursed the connector (hair dresser) and the connected (client)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is not over there (what you are thinking it to be). But rather, Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> cursed the connector (hair dresser) who used to commit adultery during her youth, so when she grew older, she led the women to the men (for adultery), so that is the connector and the connected (who are cursed)’.
