The Dangers of False Hair

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warning against the use of false hair, and how it was a cause of destruction for the children of Israel.

Narrated Humaid bin 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf: that in the year he performed Hajj. he heard Mu'awiya bin Abi Sufyan, who was on the pulpit and was taking a tuft of hair from one of his guards, saying, "Where are your religious learned men? I heard Allah's Messenger forbidding this (false hair) and saying, 'The children of Israel were destroyed when their women started using this'."
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَامَ حَجَّ وَهْوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، وَهْوَ يَقُولُ ـ وَتَنَاوَلَ قُصَّةً مِنْ شَعَرٍ كَانَتْ بِيَدِ حَرَسِيٍّ ـ أَيْنَ عُلَمَاؤُكُمْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَنْهَى عَنْ مِثْلِ هَذِهِ وَيَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِنَّمَا هَلَكَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ حِينَ اتَّخَذَ هَذِهِ نِسَاؤُهُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, Mu'awiya bin Abi Sufyan is heard speaking from the pulpit and taking a tuft of hair from one of his guards. He asked where their religious learned men were, as he had heard that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forbade such things. He then mentioned that the children of Israel were destroyed when their women started using false hair. This hadith serves as a warning to us all to stay away from such practices, as it can lead to destruction and fitnah (trouble).
