The Obligation of Veiling the Face and Hands
http://abdurrahman.org/women/theobligationofveiling.pdf
Taking the Similitude of Women
Ibn Abbaas رضي الله عنهما said:
قال ابن عباس رضي الله ع نهما: "لعن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم المتشبهين
من الرجال بالنساء والمتشبهات من النساء بالرجال " (رواه البخاري )
"Allaah's Messenger (sallaa Allaahu ‘aleihi was sallam) cursed those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of women and those women who are in the
similitude (assume the manners) of men."[63]
When Abdullaah bin Umar saw a woman wearing a bow and walking in a way
assuming the manners of men, he said:
" ليس منَّا من تشبه بالرجال من النساء، ولا من النساء بالرجال" (صحيح)
"Women who assume the manners of men are not from us and also those of men
who assume the manners of women."[64]
There is no doubt that assumption of the manners of women by shaving the
beard is more clear and vivid than the wearing of a bow by a woman assuming
the manners of men.
If a woman puts on a faked beard on her face, she would be assuming the
resemblance of men. By the the same talking, the man who takes off his beard,
which Allaah beautified him with, would be imitating women.

Not smiling when meeting people
Allah's Messenger (SalAllaahu alaihe wa sallam) said:"Allah hates the one who does not smile at others and looks uncheerful." (Dailami)
Obscene words and acts
Ahmed narrated: Allah's Messenger (SalAllaahu alaihe wa sallam) said:"Allah hates obscene words and acts."
Prodigality and Excess
Dailami narrated: Allah's Messenger (SalAllaahu alaihe wa sallam) said:"Allah hates those who practice extravagance and feel exultant."
Insisting when begging Abu Na'im narrated: Allah's Messenger (SalAllaahu alaihe wa sallam) said:"Allah hates the insistant beggar."
Injustice, Ignorance, and Arrogance
Al-Tabarani narrated: Allah's Messenger (SalAllaahu alaihe wa sallam) said:"Allah hates, the unfair rich, the ignorant elderly and the arrogant guardian."
The remedy for all these diseases is the love of Allah Almighty, His Messenger (SalAllaahu alaihe wa sallam) and the Pleasures of the Hereafter. Allah's love has many fruits and positive consequences, namely, Allah gives whoever loves contentment and satisfaction and this is one of the graces of Allah in this world. Allah's Messenger (SalAllaahu alaihe wa sallam) said:
" If Allah loves someone He calls Gabriel (the angel) and says: I love so-and-so, so you love him. Gabriel loves him, and calls the other angels in Heaven to love that person. They love him, then his love will be made upon earth, and he becomes loved. And if Allah hates someone He calls Gabriel and says: I hate so-and-so and you hate him. Gabriel hates him and calls the angels in Heaven and says: Allah hates so-and-so, so you all hate him. They all hate him, and his hatred is made upon earth and he becomes hated." (Muslim)
