adab:173

Abu Hurayra said, "Do not say, 'May Allah make your face ugly and any face like your face.' Allah Almighty created Adam, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in the form that He ordained."

الأدب المفرد:١٧٣حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ لاَ تَقُولَنَّ قَبَّحَ اللَّهُ وَجْهَكَ وَوَجْهَ مَنْ أَشْبَهَ وَجْهَكَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَلَقَ آدَمَ ﷺ عَلَى صُورَتِهِ
