Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5100
This narration is very short, so the explanation should stay close to what is actually given. Ibrahim reports that Abdullah mentioned “the women who have their teeth separated,” then he quoted the hadith. The core topic is adornment, especially the practice of creating spaces between teeth for beauty. For readers searching for a hadith about teeth separated, this text points to a warning linked to outward beautification. It does not give extra details in this wording, so we should not add more than the report says. The simple lesson is that a Muslim should treat the body with respect and be careful about beauty practices that are singled out in the narration.
