وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ ضَرَبَ الْخُدُودَ وَشَقَّ الْجُيُوبَ وَدَعَا بِدَعْوَى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ»

Translation

Abdullah ibn Masud reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, ‘He is not one of us who strikes his cheeks, tears his garments, and calls out with the calls of the pre-Islamic age.’
