Chapter 30 – The Dye

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْجَهْمِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ قَدِ اخْتَضَبَ بِالسَّوَادِ فَقُلْتُ أَرَاكَ قَدِ اخْتَضَبْتَ بِالسَّوَادِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ فِي الْخِضَابِ أَجْراً وَ الْخِضَابُ وَ التَّهْيِئَةُ مِمَّا يَزِيدُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي عِفَّةِ النِّسَاءِ وَ لَقَدْ تَرَكَ النِّسَاءُ الْعِفَّةَ بِتَرْكِ أَزْوَاجِهِنَّ لَهُنَّ التَّهْيِئَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ الْحِنَّاءَ يَزِيدُ فِي الشَّيْبِ قَالَ أَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَزِيدُ فِي الشَّيْبِ الشَّيْبُ يَزِيدُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Al Hassan Bin Al Jaham who said,

‘I went over to Abu Al-Hassan-asws and he-asws had dyed (hair) with the black. So I said, ‘I see you-asws have dyed (hair) with the black’. So he-asws said: ‘And in the dyeing there is Recompense, and the dye and the henna are from what Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Increases in the chastity of the women, and the women have neglected the chastity due to the neglecting of the henna by their husbands’. I said, ‘It has reached us that henna tends to increase in the greying?’ He-asws said: ‘Which thing increase in the greying? The greying increases during every day’.[1]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مِسْكِينِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَكَمِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَنَظَرَ إِلَى الشَّيْبِ فِي لِحْيَتِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) نُورٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ كَانَتْ لَهُ نُوراً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

Muhammad Bin Yaha, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Miskeen Bin Abu Al Hakam, from a man,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘A man came over to the Prophet-saww, so he-saww saw the greying in his beard. So the Prophet-saww said: ‘A radiance’. Then he-saww said: ‘The one who gets old and grey in Al-Islam, there would be a radiance for him on the Day of Judgement’.

قَالَ فَخَضَبَ الرَّجُلُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْخِضَابَ قَالَ نُورٌ وَ إِسْلَامٌ فَخَضَبَ الرَّجُلُ بِالسَّوَادِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) نُورٌ وَ إِسْلَامٌ وَ إِيمَانٌ وَ مَحَبَّةٌ إِلَى نِسَائِكُمْ وَ رَهْبَةٌ فِي قُلُوبِ عَدُوِّكُمْ .

He (the narrator) said, ‘So the man dyed with the henna, then he came over to the Prophet-saww. So when he-saww saw the dyeing, he-saww said: ‘A radiance and Islam’. So the man dyed with the black. So the Prophet-saww said: ‘A radiance, and Islam, and faith, and a love for your wives, and an awe in the hearts of your enemies’.[2]

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مُوسَى الْوَرَّاقِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ دَخَلَ قَوْمٌ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فَرَأَوْهُ مُخْتَضِباً بِالسَّوَادِ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ أُحِبُّ النِّسَاءَ وَ أَنَا أَتَصَنَّعُ لَهُنَّ .

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Abbas Bin Musa Al Warraq,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan-asws having said: ‘A group of people came over to Abu Ja’far-asws, so they saw him-asws as having dyed (hair) with the black. So he-asws said: ‘I-asws am a man who loves the women, and I-asws do it for them’.[3]

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جَنَاحٍ عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ الزَّيْدِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ دَخَلَ قَوْمٌ عَلَى الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ( صلوات الله عليه ) فَرَأَوْهُ مُخْتَضِباً بِالسَّوَادِ فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى لِحْيَتِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فِي غَزَاةٍ غَزَاهَا أَنْ يَخْتَضِبُوا بِالسَّوَادِ لِيَقْوَوْا بِهِ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ .

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Saeed Bin Janah, from Abu Khalid Al Zaydi, from Jabir,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘A group of people came over to Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws, so they saw him-asws as having dyed (hair) with the black. So they asked him-asws about that. So he-asws extended his-asws hand towards his-asws beard, then said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww ordered in a military expedition of his-saww military expeditions, that: ‘Dye (your hair) with the black in order to be stronger upon the Polytheists’.[4]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ حَفْصٍ الْأَعْوَرِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ خِضَابِ اللِّحْيَةِ وَ الرَّأْسِ أَ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ إِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( صلوات الله عليه ) لَمْ يَخْتَضِبْ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا مَنَعَهُ قَوْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِنَّ هَذِهِ سَتُخْضَبُ مِنْ هَذِهِ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar, from Hafs Al Awr who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about dyeing the beard and the head, is it from the Sunnah?’ So he-asws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws did not dye’. So he-asws said: ‘But rather, from it are the Words of Rasool-Allah-saww that: ‘This (beard) would be dyed from this (head wound)’.[5]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ فِي الْخِضَابِ ثَلَاثُ خِصَالٍ مَهْيَبَةٌ فِي الْحَرْبِ وَ مَحَبَّةٌ إِلَى النِّسَاءِ وَ يَزِيدُ فِي الْبَاهِ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibrahim Bin Abdul Hameed,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan-asws having said: ‘In the dye there are three qualities – It is an awe during the water, and a love for the women, and increases in the sexual desire’.[6]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ خِضَابِ الشَّعْرِ فَقَالَ قَدْ خَضَبَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) بِالْكَتَمِ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby who said,

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ خَضَبَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ لَمْ يَمْنَعْ عَلِيّاً ( عليه السلام ) إِلَّا قَوْلُ النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) تَخْتَضِبُ هَذِهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ وَ قَدْ خَضَبَ الْحُسَيْنُ وَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The Prophet-saww dyed and nothing prevented Ali-asws except for the words of the Prophet-saww: ‘You-asws would be dyeing this (your-asws beard) from this (head wound)’; and Al-Husayn-asws and Abu Ja’far-asws had dyed’.[8]

أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ الْأَسَدِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ خِضَابِ الشَّعْرِ فَقَالَ خَضَبَ الْحُسَيْنُ وَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( صلوات الله عليهما ) بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَ الْكَتَمِ .

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about dyeing the hair, so he-asws said: ‘Al-Husayn-asws and Abu Ja’far-asws dyed with the henna and Al-Katam (a dyeing plant)’.[9]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) يَخْتَضِبُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ خِضَاباً قَانِياً .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said,

‘I saw Abu Ja’far-asws dyeing with the henna, a red dyeing’.[10]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُذَافِرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِيَّاكَ وَ نُصُولَ الْخِضَابِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ بُؤْسٌ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Muhammad Bin Uzafar, from umar Bin Yazeed who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Beware of the discolouration of the dyeing, for in that is despair’.[11]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُنْدَارَ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الْأَحْمَرِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) نَفَقَةُ دِرْهَمٍ فِي الْخِضَابِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ نَفَقَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فِيهِ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ خَصْلَةً يَطْرُدُ الرِّيحَ مِنَ الْأُذُنَيْنِ وَ يَجْلُو الْغِشَاءَ عَنِ الْبَصَرِ وَ يُلَيِّنُ الْخَيَاشِيمَ وَ يُطَيِّبُ النَّكْهَةَ وَ يَشُدُّ اللِّثَةَ وَ يَذْهَبُ بِالْغَشَيَانِ وَ يُقِلُّ وَسْوَسَةَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ تَفْرَحُ بِهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ يَسْتَبْشِرُ بِهِ الْمُؤْمِنُ وَ يَغِيظُ بِهِ الْكَافِرُ وَ هُوَ زِينَةٌ وَ هُوَ طِيبٌ وَ بَرَاءَةٌ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنْهُ مُنْكَرٌ وَ نَكِيرٌ .

Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar, and Muhammad Bin Al Hassan, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq Al Ahmar, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Mihran, from his father, raising it, said,

‘The Prophet-saww said: ‘Spending a Dirham in the dye is better than spending a Dirham in the Way of Allah-azwj. Therein are fourteen qualities – It dispels the wind from the ears, and it refines the vision, and softens the nose-ducts, and aromatises the breath, and strengthens the gums, and removes the fainting, and reduces the whisperings of the Satan-la, and the Angels are happy by it, and the believers get glad tidings by it, and the Infidels are disappointed by it, and it is an adornment, and it is a perfume, and a freedom in his grave, and Munkar and Nakeer (two questioning Angels) are too embarrassed from it (the questioning)’.[12]

Chapter 31 – The black (dye) and the woad (a dyeing plant)

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَلْقَمَةَ وَ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ وَ أَبِي حَسَّانَ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ عَلْقَمَةُ مُخْتَضِبٌ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَ الْحَارِثُ مُخْتَضِبٌ بِالْوَسِمَةِ وَ أَبُو حَسَّانَ لَا يَخْتَضِبُ فَقَالَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ مَا تَرَى فِي هَذَا رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ وَ أَشَارَ إِلَى لِحْيَتِهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا أَحْسَنَهُ قَالُوا كَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) مُخْتَضِباً بِالْوَسْمَةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ ذَلِكَ حِينَ تَزَوَّجَ الثَّقَفِيَّةَ أَخَذَتْهُ جَوَارِيهَا فَخَضَبْنَهُ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Sayf Bin Ameyra, from Abu Bakr Al Hazramy who said,

‘I was with Abu Alqama and Al-Haris Bin Al-Mugheira, and Abu Hassan in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws, and Alqama had dyed with the henna, and Al-Haris had dyed with the black (dye), and Abu Hassan had not dyed. So each man from them said, ‘What is your-asws view with regards to this, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on you-asws’, and gestured towards his own beard. So Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘How wonderful’. They said, ‘Abu Ja’far-asws used to dye with the woad (a dye plant)?’ He-asws said: ‘When he-asws married the Saqafiyya, her slave girl took it, so she dye it upon him-asws’.[13]

عَنْهُ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْوَسِمَةِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهَا لِلشَّيْخِ الْكَبِيرِ.

From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the woad (a dyeing plant), so he-asws said: ‘There is no problem with it for the old man, the aged’.[14]

Ibn Mahboub, from Al A’ala Bin Razeyn, form Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,

‘I saw Abu Ja’far-asws chewing gum, so he-asws said: ‘O Muhammad! I-asws, the woad (a dye plant) twisted my-asws molar, so I am chewing this gum in order to strengthen it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And they had loosened, so he-asws tightened them with the gold’.[15]

أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) نَقَضَتْ أَضْرَاسِيَ الْوَسِمَةُ .

عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ رُشَيْدٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَشْيَمَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ لِي فَتَاةً قَدِ ارْتَفَعَتْ عِلَّتُهَا فَقَالَ اخْضِبْ رَأْسَهَا بِالْحِنَّاءِ فَإِنَّ الْحَيْضَ سَيَعُودُ إِلَيْهَا قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَعَادَ إِلَيْهَا الْحَيْضُ .

From him, from Ali Bin Suleyman Bin Rusheyd, from Malik Bin Asheym, from Ismail Bin Yazi’e who said,

‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan-asws, ‘For me there is a young daughter whose regularity (of menstruation) is lifted’. So he-asws said: ‘Dye her head with the henna so the menstruation would be returning to her’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I did that, so the menstruation returned to her’.[25]

Chapter 33 – Cutting the hair and the shaving

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُعَمَّرِ بْنِ خَلَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ عَرَفَهُنَّ لَمْ يَدَعْهُنَّ جَزُّ الشَّعْرِ وَ تَشْمِيرُ الثِّيَابِ وَ نِكَاحُ الْإِمَاءِ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Moamar Bin Khallad,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan-asws having said: ‘Three (things), one who recognises these would not leave them – Cutting the hair, and rolling up of the clothes, and union with the slave-girls’.[26]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ لِي اسْتَأْصِلْ شَعْرَكَ يَقِلُّ دَرَنُهُ وَ دَوَابُّهُ وَ وَسَخُهُ وَ تَغْلُظُ رَقَبَتُكَ وَ يَجْلُو بَصَرُكَ

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muhammad Bin Abu Hamza, from Is’haq Bin Ammar,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, said, ‘He-asws said to me: ‘Cut your hair to reduce its smell, and its insects (lice etc.), and its dirt, and it thickens your neck, and it refines your vision’.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى وَ يَسْتَرِيحُ بَدَنُكَ .

And in another report, (He-asws said): ‘And its rests your body’.[27]

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr who said,

‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan-asws that our companions are reporting that shaving the head regarding other than Hajj or Umrah is a mutilation’. So he-asws said: ‘Whenever Abu Al-Hassan-asws used to fulfil his rituals, would go to a town called Sayah and shave (his-asws head)’.[28]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ حَلْقَ الرَّأْسِ مُثْلَةٌ فَقَالَ عُمْرَةٌ لَنَا وَ مُثْلَةٌ لِأَعْدَائِنَا .

Ali Bin Muhammad, raising it, said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws that the people are saying that shaving-off the head is a mutilation. So he-asws said: ‘It is an Umrah for us-asws and a mutilation for our-asws enemies’.[29]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ قَالَ حَجَمَنِي الْحَجَّامُ فَحَلَقَ مِنْ مَوْضِعِ النُّقْرَةِ فَرَآنِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ أَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ هَذَا اذْهَبْ فَاحْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ وَ حَلَقْتُ رَأْسِي .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abdul Rahman Bin Umar Bin Aslam who said,

‘The cupper performed cupping on me in the fovea, so Abu Al-Hassan-asws saw me, so he-asws said: ‘Which thing is this? Go and shave-off your head!’ He (the narrator) said, ‘So I went and shaved-off my head’.[30]

أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا تَقُولُ فِي إِطَالَةِ الشَّعْرِ فَقَالَ كَانَ أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مُشْعِرِينَ يَعْنِي الطَّمَّ .

Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan, from Ibn Sinan who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘What are you-asws saying regarding lengthening of the hair?’ So he-asws said: ‘The companions of Muhammad-saww were hairy, meaning the trimming’.[31]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَحْلِقُ كُلَّ جُمُعَةٍ فِيمَا بَيْنَ الطَّلْيَةِ إِلَى الطَّلْيَةِ .

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Yahya Bin Al Mubarak, from Abdullah Bin Jabala, from Is’haq Bin Ammar,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Sometimes there are a lot of hairs in my back, so it grieves me with an intense grief’. So he-asws said: ‘O Is’haq! But, do you not know that shaving the back removes the grief?’[33]

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Hammad, from Ayoub Bin Haroun,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘Did Rasool-Allah-saww used to part (style) his-saww hair?’ He-asws said: ‘No. Whenever Rasool-Allah-saww lengthened his-saww hair, it would be to the lobe of his-saww ear’.[36]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ خَلَفِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنَّهُمْ يَرْوُونَ أَنَّ الْفَرْقَ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ قَالَ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ قُلْتُ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَرَقَ قَالَ مَا فَرَقَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ لَا كَانَ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ ( عليهم السلام ) تُمْسِكُ الشَّعْرَ .

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Amro Bin Ibrahim, from Khalaf Bin Hammad, from Amro Bin Sabit,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, said, ‘I said, ‘They (people) are reporting that the parting (styling) is from the Sunnah’. He-asws said: ‘From the Sunnah?’ I said, ‘They are alleging that the Prophet-saww parted’. He-asws said: ‘The Prophet-saww did not part, nor did the Prophets-as beforehand keep (long) hair’.[37]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) الْفَرْقُ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ قَالَ لَا قُلْتُ فَهَلْ فَرَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ فَرَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ لَيْسَ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ قَالَ مَنْ أَصَابَهُ مَا أَصَابَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَفْرُقُ كَمَا فَرَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَدْ أَصَابَ سُنَّةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ إِلَّا فَلَا

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Abu Nasr, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘The parting (of the hair) is from the Sunnah?’ He-asws said: ‘No’. I said, ‘So did Rasool-Allah-saww part (the hair)?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘How is it that Rasool-Allah-saww parted and it is not from the Sunnah?’ He-asws said: ‘The one who is hit by what Rasool-Allah-saww was hit by would be parting just as Rasool-Allah-saww parted, so he would have abided by the Sunnah, or else, so no’.

قُلْتُ لَهُ كَيْفَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) حِينَ صُدَّ عَنِ الْبَيْتِ وَ قَدْ كَانَ سَاقَ الْهَدْيَ وَ أَحْرَمَ أَرَاهُ اللَّهُ الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي أَخْبَرَهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا فِي كِتَابِهِ إِذْ يَقُولُ لَقَدْ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ الرُّؤْيا بِالْحَقِّ لَتَدْخُلُنَّ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرامَ إِنْ شاءَ اللَّهُ آمِنِينَ مُحَلِّقِينَ رُؤُسَكُمْ وَ مُقَصِّرِينَ لا تَخافُونَ

I said to him-asws, ‘How is that?’ He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww, when he-saww was turned away from the House (Kabah), and he-saww had ushered the sacrificial animal, and wore the Ihraam, Allah-azwj Showed him-saww the vision in which Allah-azwj Informed him-saww of it in His-azwj Book [48:27] Certainly Allah had Endorsed to His Rasool the vision with the truth: you shall enter the Sacred Masjid, if Allah Pleases, in security, (some) having their heads shaved and (others) having their hair cut, you shall not be fearing.

فَعَلِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَنَّ اللَّهَ سَيَفِي لَهُ بِمَا أَرَاهُ فَمِنْ ثَمَّ وَفَّرَ ذَلِكَ الشَّعْرَ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ حِينَ أَحْرَمَ انْتِظَاراً لِحَلْقِهِ فِي الْحَرَمِ حَيْثُ وَعَدَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَلَمَّا حَلَقَهُ لَمْ يُعِدْ فِي تَوْفِيرِ الشَّعْرِ وَ لَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) .

Thus, Rasool-Allah-saww knew that Allah-azwj would be Fulfilling for him with what He-azwj had Shown him-saww. So from then onwards, he-saww preserved the hair which was upon his-saww head when he-saww was in Ihraam, awaiting to shave it off in the Sanctuary, since Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Promised him-saww. So when he-saww did shave it off, did not repeat the preservation of the hair, nor was that from his-saww own self’.[38]

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي الْمِقْدَامِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فِي وَصِيَّةِ النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( صلوات الله عليه ) عَلَيْكَ بِالسِّوَاكِ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ .

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Amro Bin Abu Al Miqdam, from Muhammad Bin Marwan,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws regarding a bequest of the Prophet-saww to Amir Al-Momineen-asws: ‘Upon you-asws is with brushing of the teeth during every Prayer’.[108]

باب الْحَمَّامِ

Chapter 43 – The Bathhouse

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ الْجَبَلِيِّ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( صلوات الله عليه ) نِعْمَ الْبَيْتُ الْحَمَّامُ يُذَكِّرُ النَّارَ وَ يَذْهَبُ بِالدَّرَنِ وَ قَالَ عُمَرُ بِئْسَ الْبَيْتُ الْحَمَّامُ يُبْدِي الْعَوْرَةَ وَ يَهْتِكُ السِّتْرَ قَالَ وَ نَسَبَ النَّاسُ قَوْلَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) إِلَى عُمَرَ وَ قَوْلَ عُمَرَ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, or someone else from Muhammad Bin Aslam Al Jably, raising it, said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘The best of the houses is the bathhouse. It reminds of the Fire and removes the filth’; and Umar said, ‘The worst of the houses is the bathhouse, it exposes the genitals and the tears down the veil’. He-asws said: ‘And the people ascribed the words of Amir Al-Momineen-asws to Umar and the words of Umar to Amir Al-Momineen-asws’.[109]

عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ الْحَمَّامُ يَوْمٌ وَ يَوْمٌ لَا يُكْثِرُ اللَّحْمَ وَ إِدْمَانُهُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ يُذِيبُ شَحْمَ الْكُلْيَتَيْنِ .

From him, from Ali Bin Al Hakam and Ali Bin Hassan, from Suleyman Al Ja’fary,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan-asws having said: ‘Bathing a day, and not a day (alternatively) does not increase the flesh, and being habitual of it during every day removes the fat of the kidneys’.[110]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلَا يَدْخُلِ الْحَمَّامَ إِلَّا بِمِئْزَرٍ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Rafa’at Bin Musa,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The one who was a believer in Allah-azwj and the Last Day, so he should not enter the bathhouse except with a loincloth’.[111]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَجَّالِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ قَالَ مَرِضْتُ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ لَحْمِي فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى الرِّضَا ( صلوات الله عليه ) فَقَالَ أَ يَسُرُّكَ أَنْ يَعُودَ إِلَيْكَ لَحْمُكَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ الْزَمِ الْحَمَّامَ غِبّاً فَإِنَّهُ يَعُودُ إِلَيْكَ لَحْمُكَ وَ إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تُدْمِنَهُ فَإِنَّ إِدْمَانَهُ يُورِثُ السِّلَّ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Hajjal, from Suleyman Al Ja’fary who said,

‘I was sick to the extent that my flesh went away. So I went over to Al-Reza-asws, so he-asws said: ‘Would you be joyful if I-asws were to return your flesh to you?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘Necessitate the bathing intermittently so it would return back to you your flesh, and beware of being habitual of it, for being habitual in it inherits the tuberculosis’.[112]

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْمُثَنَّى بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ الْحَنَّاطِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ لَا تَدْخُلِ الْحَمَّامَ إِلَّا وَ فِي جَوْفِكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ يُطْفَأُ بِهِ عَنْكَ وَهَجُ الْمَعِدَةِ وَ هُوَ أَقْوَى لِلْبَدَنِ وَ لَا تَدْخُلْهُ وَ أَنْتَ مُمْتَلِئٌ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ .

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al Musna Bin Al Waleed Al Hannat, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Do not enter the bathhouse except in your inside is something to cool down the heat of your stomach with, and it is more strengthening for your body, and do not enter it and you are filled up from the food’.[113]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَمَّنْ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ دُخُولَ الْحَمَّامِ تَنَاوَلَ شَيْئاً فَأَكَلَهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ عِنْدَنَا يَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُ عَلَى الرِّيقِ أَجْوَدُ مَا يَكُونُ قَالَ لَا بَلْ يُؤْكَلُ شَيْ‏ءٌ قَبْلَهُ يُطْفِئُ الْمَرَارَةَ وَ يُسَكِّنُ حَرَارَةَ الْجَوْفِ .

Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Rafa’at Bin Musa, from the one who informed it,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws that whenever he-asws wanted to enter the bathhouse, he-asws took something, so he-asws ate it. I said to him-asws, ‘The people with us are saying that it is much better upon the empty stomach as can be’. He-asws said: ‘No, but eating something before it cools the gallbladder and settles the heat of the interior’.[114]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَ أَبِي وَ جَدِّي وَ عَمِّي حَمَّاماً بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَسْلَخِ فَقَالَ لَنَا مِمَّنِ الْقَوْمُ فَقُلْنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ فَقَالَ وَ أَيُّ الْعِرَاقِ قُلْنَا كُوفِيُّونَ فَقَالَ مَرْحَباً بِكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْكُوفَةِ أَنْتُمُ الشِّعَارُ دُونَ الدِّثَارِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا يَمْنَعُكُمْ مِنَ الْأُزُرِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَالَ عَوْرَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِ حَرَامٌ

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazie, altogether from Hanan Bin sadeyr, from his father who said,

‘I and my father, and my grandfather, and my uncle went over to a bathhouse at Al-Medina, so there was a man-asws in the dressing room. So he said to us, ‘From whom are the people?’ So we said, ‘From the people of Al-Iraq’. So he-asws said, ‘And from where in Al-Iraq?’ We said, ‘Kufians (from Kufa)’. So he-asws said, ‘Welcome to you all, of people of Al-Kufa. You all are wearing clothes and are without a towel’. Then he-asws said, ‘What is preventing you from the loincloth, for Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The nakedness of the Believer upon the Believer is Prohibited’.

قَالَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَى أَبِي كِرْبَاسَةً فَشَقَّهَا بِأَرْبَعَةٍ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا وَاحِداً ثُمَّ دَخَلْنَا فِيهَا فَلَمَّا كُنَّا فِي الْبَيْتِ الْحَارِّ صَمَدَ لِجَدِّي فَقَالَ يَا كَهْلُ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنَ الْخِضَابِ فَقَالَ لَهُ جَدِّي أَدْرَكْتُ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي وَ مِنْكَ لَا يَخْتَضِبُ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ لِذَلِكَ حَتَّى عَرَفْنَا غَضَبَهُ فِي الْحَمَّامِ قَالَ وَ مَنْ ذَلِكَ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي فَقَالَ أَدْرَكْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ( عليه السلام ) وَ هُوَ لَا يَخْتَضِبُ قَالَ فَنَكَسَ رَأْسَهُ وَ تَصَابَّ عَرَقاً فَقَالَ صَدَقْتَ وَ بَرِرْتَ

He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws sent a cloth to my father, so he tore it into four pieces, and each one of us took one from it. Then we entered into it. So when we were in the hot house, he-asws turned towards my grandfather, so he-asws said, ‘O elderly, what prevents you from the dyeing?’ So my grandfather said to him, ‘I was with someone who was better than me and you-asws, who did not dye’. So he-asws got so angered due to that to the extent that we recognised his-asws anger in the bathhouse. He-asws said, ‘And who is that who is better than me-asws?’ So he said, ‘I was with Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws and he-asws did not dye’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So he-asws bowed his head and perspired, so he-asws said, ‘You speak the truth, and are justified’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا كَهْلُ إِنْ تَخْتَضِبْ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَدْ خَضَبَ وَ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) وَ إِنْ تَتْرُكْ فَلَكَ بِعَلِيٍّ سُنَّةٌ قَالَ فَلَمَّا خَرَجْنَا مِنَ الْحَمَّامِ سَأَلْنَا عَنِ الرَّجُلِ فَإِذَا هُوَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ مَعَهُ ابْنُهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) .

Then he said, ‘O elderly, you should dye, for Rasool-Allah-saww had dyed, and he-saww was better than Ali-asws, and if you leave it, so for you is a Sunnah with Ali-asws’. So when we went out from the bathhouse, we asked about the man, so it was Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws and with him-asws was his-asws son-asws Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws’.[115]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ الْحَمَّامَ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَدِ اطَّلَى وَ اطَّلَى إِبْطَيْهِ بِالنُّورَةِ قَالَ فَخَبَّرْتُ أَبَا بَصِيرٍ فَقَالَ أَرْشِدْنِي إِلَيْهِ لِأَسْأَلَهُ عَنْهُ فَقُلْتُ قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ أَنَا فَقَالَ أَنْتَ قَدْ رَأَيْتَهُ وَ أَنَا لَمْ أَرَهُ أَرْشِدْنِي إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَأَرْشَدْتُهُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ أَخْبَرَنِي قَائِدِي أَنَّكَ قَدِ اطَّلَيْتَ وَ طَلَيْتَ إِبْطَيْكَ بِالنُّورَةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ نَتْفَ الْإِبْطَيْنِ يُضْعِفُ الْبَصَرَ اطَّلِ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ اطَّلَيْتُ مُنْذُ أَيَّامٍ فَقَالَ اطَّلِ فَإِنَّهُ طَهُورٌ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza who said,

‘I entered the bathhouse along with Abu Baseer, so we looked at Abu Abdullah-asws had waxed, and he-asws had waxed his-asws underarms with Al-Noura. So I informed Abu Baseer, so he said, ‘Guide me to him-asws to ask him-asws about it’. So I said, ‘I have seen him-asws’. So he said, ‘You have seen him-asws, and I cannot see him-asws’, (as he was blind). Guide me to him-asws’. So I guided him to him-asws, so he said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! My guide informed me that you-asws have waxed, and waxed your-asws underarms with Al-Noura’. He-asws said: ‘Yes, O Abu Muhammad! Plucking the underarms weakens the vision. Wax, O Abu Muhammad’. So he said, ‘I have waxed a few days beforehand’. So he-asws said: ‘Wax, for it is cleaner’.[116]

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى جَمَاعَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي بَيْتٍ مُظْلِمٍ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ سَلِّمْ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) فَإِنَّهُ فِي الصَّدْرِ قَالَ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ جَلَسْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ قَدْ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَلْقَاكَ مُنْذُ حِينٍ لِأَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ فَقَالَ سَلْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ قُلْتُ مَا تَقُولُ فِي الْحَمَّامِ قَالَ لَا تَدْخُلِ الْحَمَّامَ إِلَّا بِمِئْزَرٍ وَ غُضَّ بَصَرَكَ وَ لَا تَغْتَسِلْ مِنْ غُسَالَةِ مَاءِ الْحَمَّامِ فَإِنَّهُ يُغْتَسَلُ فِيهِ مِنَ الزِّنَا وَ يَغْتَسِلُ فِيهِ وَلَدُ الزِّنَا وَ النَّاصِبُ لَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ هُوَ شَرُّهُمْ .

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam,

(It has been narrated) from a man from the Clan of Hashim-as who said, ‘I went over to a group from the Clan of Hashim-as, so I greeted them in a dark room. So one of them said, ‘Greet Abu Al Hassan-asws, for he-asws is in the centre’. So I greeted him-asws and sat in front of him-asws, and I said to him-asws, ‘I desired to meet you-asws for a while to ask you-asws about certain things’. So he-asws said: ‘Ask, whatever comes to you’. I said, ‘What are you-asws saying regarding the bathhouse’. He-asws said: ‘Do not enter the bathhouse except with a loincloth, and lowering your eyes, and do not wash from the used water of the bathhouse for there has washed in it the adulterer, and the son of the adulterer, and the Hostile one (Nasibi) towards us-asws, the People-asws of the Household, and he is the most evil of them’.[117]

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَشْيَمَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ قَالَ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ لَحْماً فَلْيَدْخُلِ الْحَمَّامَ يَوْماً وَ يَغِبُّ يَوْماً وَ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَضْمُرَ وَ كَانَ كَثِيرَ اللَّحْمِ فَلْيَدْخُلِ الْحَمَّامَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ .

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Ahmad Bin Asheym, from Suleyman Al Ja’fary,

(He-asws) having said: ‘The one who wants to carry flesh (to gain weight) so let him enter the bathhouse one day, and be absent from it one day, and the one who intends slimming and he was of a lot of flesh, so let him enter the bathhouse every day’.[118]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَطَّلِي بِالنُّورَةِ فَيَجْعَلُ لَهُ الدَّقِيقَ بِالزَّيْتِ يَلُتُّ بِهِ فَيَمْسَحُ بِهِ بَعْدَ النُّورَةِ لِيَقْطَعَ رِيحَهَا عَنْهُ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the man who waxes with Al-Noura, so he makes a container for himself of the flour with the oil to paste with it, so he touches with it upon himself after Al-Noura in order to cut-off its smell from himself’. He-asws said: ‘There is no problem’.[119]

وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ قَدْ تَدَلَّكَ بِدَقِيقٍ مَلْتُوتٍ بِالزَّيْتِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَكْرَهُونَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ .

And in another Hadeeth of Abdul Rahman, he said,

‘I saw Abu Al-Hassan-asws and he had massaged with flour mixed with oil. So I said to him-asws, ‘The people are disliking that’. He-asws said: ‘There is no problem with it’.[120]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ التَّدَلُّكِ بِالدَّقِيقِ بَعْدَ النُّورَةِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ قُلْتُ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ إِسْرَافٌ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ فِيمَا أَصْلَحَ الْبَدَنَ إِسْرَافٌ إِنِّي رُبَّمَا أَمَرْتُ بِالنَّقِيِّ فَيُلَتُّ لِي بِالزَّيْتِ فَأَتَدَلَّكُ بِهِ إِنَّمَا الْإِسْرَافُ فِيمَا أَتْلَفَ الْمَالَ وَ أَضَرَّ بِالْبَدَنِ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Usman Bin Isa, from Is’haq Bin Abdul Aziz who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws was asked about the massaging with the flour (mixed with oil) after Al-Noura, so he-asws said: ‘There is no problem’. I said, ‘They (people) are alleging that it is an extravagance’. So he-asws said: ‘There is no extravagance in the correction (well-being) of the body. Sometimes I order with the pure (flour), so it is mixed for me-asws with the oil, so I massage with it. But rather, the extravagance is in what is destruction of the wealth and harmful for the body’.[121]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( صلوات الله عليه ) فِي الرَّجُلِ يَطَّلِي وَ يَتَدَلَّكُ بِالزَّيْتِ وَ الدَّقِيقِ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Abu Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Al Hakam,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al Hassan-asws regarding the man who waxes and massages with the oil and the flour. He-asws said: ‘There is no problem with it’.[122]

عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ الْجَبَلِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّا لَنُسَافِرُ وَ لَا يَكُونُ مَعَنَا نُخَالَةٌ فَنَتَدَلَّكُ بِالدَّقِيقِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ إِنَّمَا الْفَسَادُ فِيمَا أَضَرَّ بِالْبَدَنِ وَ أَتْلَفَ الْمَالَ فَأَمَّا مَا أَصْلَحَ الْبَدَنَ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِفَسَادٍ إِنِّي رُبَّمَا أَمَرْتُ غُلَامِي فَلَتَّ لِيَ النَّقِيَّ بِالزَّيْتِ فَأَتَدَلَّكُ بِهِ .

Ali Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Aslam Al Jabaly, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Aban Bin Taglub who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘We tend to travel and there does not happen to be any bran with us, so we massage with the flour’. So he-asws said: ‘There is no problem. But rather, the spoiling is in what is harmful for the body, and the destruction of the wealth. So as for what is corrective for the body, so it is no with spoiling. Sometimes I-asws order my-asws slave, ‘Prepare for me-asws the pure flour with the oil, so I-asws massage with it’.[123]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ قَالَ خَرَجَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مِنَ الْحَمَّامِ فَتَلَبَّسَ وَ تَعَمَّمَ فَقَالَ لِي إِذَا خَرَجْتَ مِنَ الْحَمَّامِ فَتَعَمَّمْ قَالَ فَمَا تَرَكْتُ الْعِمَامَةَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِي مِنَ الْحَمَّامِ فِي شِتَاءٍ وَ لَا صَيْفٍ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Sayf Bin Ameyra who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws went out from the bathhouse, so he-asws had worn clothes and a turban. He-asws said to me: ‘Whenever you come out from the bathhouse, so wear a turban’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I did not neglect the turban during my coming out from the bathhouse, during the winter and the summer’.[124]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَطَّلِي فَيَبُولُ وَ هُوَ قَائِمٌ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from a man,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, said, ‘I asked him-asws about the man who waxes, and he urinates while he is standing’. He-asws said: ‘There is no problem with it’.[125]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( صلوات الله عليه ) يَقُولُ أَلَا لَا يَسْتَلْقِيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الْحَمَّامِ فَإِنَّهُ يُذِيبُ شَحْمَ الْكُلْيَتَيْنِ وَ لَا يَدْلُكَنَّ رِجْلَيْهِ بِالْخَزَفِ فَإِنَّهُ يُورِثُ الْجُذَامَ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ali Bin Al Hassan Al Taymi, from Muhammad Bin Abu Hamza, from Umar Bin Yazeed,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws was saying: ‘Indeed! Not one of you should lie down in the bathhouse, for it melts the fat of the kidneys, and he should not massage his leg with the clay for it inherits the leprosy’.[126]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى رَفَعَهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْكَانَ قَالَ كُنَّا جَمَاعَةً مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا دَخَلْنَا الْحَمَّامَ فَلَمَّا خَرَجْنَا لَقِيَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ لَنَا مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلْتُمْ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ مِنَ الْحَمَّامِ فَقَالَ أَنْقَى اللَّهُ غَسْلَكُمْ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ جُعِلْنَا فِدَاكَ وَ إِنَّا جِئْنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْحَمَّامَ فَجَلَسْنَا لَهُ حَتَّى خَرَجَ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ أَنْقَى اللَّهُ غَسْلَكَ فَقَالَ طَهَّرَكُمُ اللَّهُ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, raising it, from Abdullah Bin Muskan who said,

‘We were a group of our companions, and we entered the bathhouse. So when we went out, we met Abu Abdullah-asws, so he-asws said to us: ‘Where are you coming back from?’ So we said to him-asws, ‘From the bathhouse’. So he-asws said: ‘May Allah-azwj Purify your bathing’. So we said to him-asws, ‘May we be sacrificed for you-asws’. And we went with him-asws until he-asws entered the bathhouse. So we sat around (waiting) for him-asws until he-asws came out. So we said to him-asws, ‘May Allah-azwj Purify your-asws bathing’. So he-asws said: ‘May Allah-azwj Clean you all’.[127]

Muhammad Bin Al Hassan, and Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq Al Nahawandy, from Abdul Rahman Bin Hammad, from Abu Maryam Al Ansary, raising it, said,

‘Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws went out from the bathhouse, a person came across him-asws, so he said, ‘May your-asws Istihmamuk be good’. So he-asws said: ‘O dimwit, and are you doing with utilising the ‘ist’ over here (in the word)?’ So he said, ‘May your Hameemuk be good’. So he-asws said: ‘But do you not know that Al-Hameem is the perspiration?’ He said, ‘May your Hamaamuk be good’. He-asws said: ‘And when my-asws bathing is good, so which thing is for me-asws, but say, ‘May it be purified what is good from you-asws, and may it be good what is purified from you-asws’.[128]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ السَّدُوسِيِّ عَنْ بَشِيرٍ النَّبَّالِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْحَمَّامِ فَقَالَ تُرِيدُ الْحَمَّامَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ

A number of our companons, from sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ismail Bin Yasaar, from Usman Bin Affan Al Sadousy, from Basheer Al Nabaal who said,

‘I asked Abu Ja’far-asws the bathhouse, so he-asws said: ‘Do you want to bathing?’ So I said, ‘Yes’.

قَالَ فَأَمَرَ بِإِسْخَانِ الْحَمَّامِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ فَاتَّزَرَ بِإِزَارٍ وَ غَطَّى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَ سُرَّتَهُ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ صَاحِبَ الْحَمَّامِ فَطَلَى مَا كَانَ خَارِجاً مِنَ الْإِزَارِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اخْرُجْ عَنِّي ثُمَّ طَلَى هُوَ مَا تَحْتَهُ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا فَافْعَلْ .

He (the narrator) said, ‘So he-asws ordered with the warming of the bath, then he-asws entered it, and he-asws was wearing a trouser, and his-asws knees were covered, as well as his-asws navel. Then he-asws ordered the one in charge of the bathhouse, so he-asws anointed what was outside from the trouser. Then he-asws said: ‘go away from me-asws’. Then he-asws anointed what was underneath it by his-asws own hands, then said: ‘This is how, so do it’.[129]

سَهْلٌ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) لَا يَدْخُلِ الرَّجُلُ مَعَ ابْنِهِ الْحَمَّامَ فَيَنْظُرَ إِلَى عَوْرَتِهِ .

Sahl, raising it, said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘The man should not enter the bathhouse along with his son, so that he would look at his nakedness’.[130]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُنْدَارَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ السُّخْتِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) لَا تَتَّكِ فِي الْحَمَّامِ فَإِنَّهُ يُذِيبُ شَحْمَ الْكُلْيَتَيْنِ وَ لَا تُسَرِّحْ فِي الْحَمَّامِ فَإِنَّهُ يُرَقِّقُ الشَّعْرَ وَ لَا تَغْسِلْ رَأْسَكَ بِالطِّينِ فَإِنَّهُ يَذْهَبُ بِالْغَيْرَةِ وَ لَا تَتَدَلَّكْ بِالْخَزَفِ فَإِنَّهُ يُورِثُ الْبَرَصَ وَ لَا تَمْسَحْ وَجْهَكَ بِالْإِزَارِ فَإِنَّهُ يَذْهَبُ بِمَاءِ الْوَجْهِ .

Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq, from Yusuf Bin Al Sukht, raising it, said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Do not lean (reclining posture) in the bathhouse, for it melts the fat of the kidneys; and do not comb in the bathhouse, for it thins the hair; and do not wash your head with the clay, for it removed the self-esteem; and do not massage with the clay for it inherits the vitiligo; and do not wipe your face with the trouser for it removes the water of the face’.[131]

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ali Bin Asbaat,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Do not wash your heads with Egyptian clay, for it removes the self-esteem and in inherits the despicability’.[132]

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abu Yahya Al Wasity, from one of our companions,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Maazy-asws (7th Imam-asws) having said: ‘The private parts are of two types, the front and the back. So as for the back, it is veiled by the two buttocks. So when the manhood and the two organs (under it) are veiled, so the private parts have been veiled’.

وَ قَالَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى وَ أَمَّا الدُّبُرُ فَقَدْ سَتَرَتْهُ الْأَلْيَتَانِ وَ أَمَّا الْقُبُلُ فَاسْتُرْهُ بِيَدِكَ .

And he-asws said in another report: ‘And as for the back, so the two buttocks have veiled it, and as for the front, so veil it with your hands’.[133]

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from someone else,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The looking at a private part of the one who is not a Muslim is like looking at the private parts of the donkey’.[134]

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Aban Bin Usman, from Ibn Abu Yafour who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Can the man be bare during the pouring of the water to see his own private parts, or the water is poured over him, or he see the private parts of the people?’ So he-asws said: ‘My-asws father-asws disliked that from every one’.[135]

‘Abu Ja’far-asws was saying: ‘The one who was a believer in Allah-azwj and the Last Day, so he should not enter the bathhouse except with a loin cloth’.

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The man should not enter the bathhouse along with his son, so he would look at his nakedness’.

وَ قَالَ لَيْسَ لِلْوَالِدَيْنِ أَنْ يَنْظُرَا إِلَى عَوْرَةِ الْوَلَدِ وَ لَيْسَ لِلْوَلَدِ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى عَوْرَةِ الْوَالِدِ وَ قَالَ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) النَّاظِرَ وَ الْمَنْظُورَ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْحَمَّامِ بِلَا مِئْزَرٍ .

And he-asws said: ‘It is not for the parent that they should look at the private part of the children, and it is not the children that they should look at the nakedness of the parents’.

وَ قَالَ لَيْسَ لِلْوَالِدَيْنِ أَنْ يَنْظُرَا إِلَى عَوْرَةِ الْوَلَدِ وَ لَيْسَ لِلْوَلَدِ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى عَوْرَةِ الْوَالِدِ وَ قَالَ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) النَّاظِرَ وَ الْمَنْظُورَ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْحَمَّامِ بِلَا مِئْزَرٍ .

And he-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww cursed the onlooker and the one looked at in the bathhouse, without a trouser’.[142]

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ دَخَلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) الْحَمَّامَ فَقَالَ لَهُ صَاحِبُ الْحَمَّامِ أُخْلِيهِ لَكَ فَقَالَ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِي ذَلِكَ الْمُؤْمِنُ أَخَفُّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ .

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Is’haq, form sa’adan, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws entered the bathhouse, so the one in charge of the bathhouse said to him, ‘I shall empty it for you-asws’. So he-asws said: ‘There is no need for me-asws with regards to that is hidden from that’.[143]

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُوسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ مَنْ أَخَذَ مِنَ الْحَمَّامِ خَزَفَةً فَحَكَّ بِهَا جَسَدَهُ فَأَصَابَهُ الْبَرَصُ فَلَا يَلُومَنَّ إِلَّا نَفْسَهُ وَ مَنِ اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ الَّذِي قَدِ اغْتُسِلَ فِيهِ فَأَصَابَهُ الْجُذَامُ فَلَا يَلُومَنَّ إِلَّا نَفْسَهُ

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Sa’ad, from Muhammad Bin salim, from Musa Bin Abdullah Bin Musa,

‘Muhammad Bin Ali, son of Ja’far-asws narrated to us from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws having said: ‘The one who takes clay from the bathhouse and he rubs his body with it, so the vitiligo hits him, so he should not blame anyone except for himself; and the one who washed from the water which had been bathed in, and the leprosy hits him, so he should not blame anyone except for himself’.

قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ فِيهِ شِفَاءً مِنَ الْعَيْنِ فَقَالَ كَذَبُوا يَغْتَسِلُ فِيهِ الْجُنُبُ مِنَ الْحَرَامِ وَ الزَّانِي وَ النَّاصِبُ الَّذِي هُوَ شَرُّهُمَا وَ كُلُّ خَلْقٍ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ مِنَ الْعَيْنِ إِنَّمَا شِفَاءُ الْعَيْنِ قِرَاءَةُ الْحَمْدِ وَ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ وَ آيَةِ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ الْبَخُورُ بِالْقُسْطِ وَ الْمُرِّ وَ اللُّبَانِ .

Muhammad Bin Ali (the narrator) said, ‘So I said to Abu Al-Hassan-asws that the people of Al-Medina are saying that there is a healing in it from the (evil) eyes’. So he-asws said: ‘They are lying! There bathe in it the ones who have sexual impurities from the Prohibition (adultery), and the adulterer, and the Hostile one (Nasibi) who is the most evil of them, and every creature from the creatures of Allah-azwj, then there would be a healing in it? But rather, a healing from the (evil) eye is recitation of Al-Hamd (Chapter 1), and Al-Mawazatayn (Chapter 113 & 114), and the Verse of the Chair (2:255), and the vapour of the incense with Al-Qust (saussurea), and Al-Murr(myrhh), and Al-Loban (frankincense)’.[144]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) كَانَ يَطْلِي إِبْطَهُ بِالنُّورَةِ فِي الْحَمَّامِ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Al Hakam, from Hafs Bin Al Bakhtary that,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws used to wax his-asws armpits with Al-Noura in the bathhouse’.[169]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ فِي الْحَمَّامِ فَرَأَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَطْلِي إِبْطَهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُ بِذَلِكَ أَبَا بَصِيرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ أَيُّمَا أَفْضَلُ نَتْفُ الْإِبْطِ أَوْ حَلْقُهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ نَتْفَ الْإِبْطِ يُوهِي أَوْ يُضْعِفُ احْلِقْهُ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Sa’dan who said,

‘I was with Abu Baseer in the bathhouse, so I saw Abu Abdullah-asws waxing his-asws armpits, so I informed Abu Baseer of that, so he said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Which is preferable, plucking the armpit or shaving it?’ So he-aswssaid: ‘O Abu Muhammad! Plucking the armpit frails or weakens (the shoulders). Shave it’.[170]

بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنِ ابْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ السُّخْتِ الْبَصْرِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي الْبِلَادِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ قَالَ كُنَّا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَلَاحَانِي زُرَارَةُ فِي نَتْفِ الْإِبْطِ وَ حَلْقِهِ فَقُلْتُ حَلْقُهُ أَفْضَلُ وَ قَالَ زُرَارَةُ نَتْفُهُ أَفْضَلُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَّا عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَأَذِنَ لَنَا وَ هُوَ فِي الْحَمَّامِ يَطَّلِي قَدِ اطَّلَى إِبْطَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لِزُرَارَةَ يَكْفِيكَ قَالَ لَا لَعَلَّهُ فَعَلَ هَذَا لِمَا لَا يَجُوزُ لِي أَنْ أَفْعَلَهُ

One of our companions, from Ibn Jamhour, from Muhammad Bin Al Qasim, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from yusuf Bin Al Sukht Al Basry, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Ibrahim Bin Yahya Bin Abu Al Balaad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Mihran, altogether from Abdullah Bin Abu Yafour who said,

‘We were at Al-Medina, so Zurara disputed with me regarding plucking the armpit and shaving it. So I said, ‘Shaving it is preferable’, and Zurara said, ‘Plucking it is preferable’. So we both sought permission to (see) Abu Abdullah-asws, so he-asws permitted for us and he-asws was in the bathhouse waxing, having waxed his-asws armpits. So I said to Zurara, ‘Do it suffice for you?’ He said, ‘No, perhaps he-asws has done this and it is not allowed for me that I do it’.

فَقَالَ فِيمَ أَنْتُمْ فَقُلْتُ لَاحَانِي زُرَارَةُ فِي نَتْفِ الْإِبْطِ وَ حَلْقِهِ فَقُلْتُ حَلْقُهُ أَفْضَلُ وَ قَالَ نَتْفُهُ أَفْضَلُ فَقَالَ أَصَبْتَ السُّنَّةَ وَ أَخْطَأَهَا زُرَارَةُ حَلْقُهُ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ نَتْفِهِ وَ طَلْيُهُ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ حَلْقِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَنَا اطَّلِيَا فَقُلْنَا فَعَلْنَا ذَلِكَ مُنْذُ ثَلَاثٍ فَقَالَ أَعِيدَا فَإِنَّ الِاطِّلَاءَ طَهُورٌ.

So he-asws said: ‘In what (discussion) are you?’ So I said, ‘Zurara disputed with me regarding plucking of the armpit and the shaving of it’. So I said that shaving is preferable, and he said plucking is preferable’. So he-asws said: ‘You have hit the Sunnah and Zurara has erred. Shaving it is preferable than plucking it, and waxing it is preferable than shaving it’. Then he-asws said to us both: ‘Get waxing done’. So we both said, ‘We did that three (days) ago’. So he-asws said: ‘Repeat it, for waxing is a cleanser’.[171]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) كَانَ يَدْخُلُ الْحَمَّامَ فَيَطْلِي إِبْطَهُ وَحْدَهُ إِذَا احْتَاجَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ وَحْدَهُ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub that,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws used to enter the bathhouse, so he-asws would wax his-asws armpit alone when he-asws was needy to that alone’.[172]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) رُبَّمَا دَخَلَ الْحَمَّامَ مُتَعَمِّداً يَطْلِي إِبْطَهُ وَحْدَهُ .

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from yunus Bin Yaqoub who said,

‘It has reached me that Abu Abdullah-asws would sometimes enter the bathhouse deliberately to wax his-asws armpit alone’.[173]

باب الْحِنَّاءِ بَعْدَ النُّورَةِ

Chapter 47 – The (Application of) the Henna after the Noura

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُنْدَارَ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الْأَحْمَرِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُوسَى قَالَ كَانَ أَبِي مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا أَرَادَ دُخُولَ الْحَمَّامِ أَمَرَ أَنْ يُوقَدَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثاً وَ كَانَ لَا يُمْكِنُهُ دُخُولُهُ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَهُ السُّودَانُ فَيُلْقُونَ لَهُ اللُّبُودَ فَإِذَا دَخَلَهُ فَمَرَّةً قَاعِدٌ وَ مَرَّةً قَائِمٌ

Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar and Muhammad Bin Al Hassan, altogether from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq Al Ahmar,

(It has been narrated) from Al-Husayn son of Musa-asws who said, ‘My father-asws Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, whenever he-asws wanted to enter the bathhouse, ordered that it should be ignited for him with three (people) being over it, and he-asws would not enter it until the slaves enter it and they would be laying down the matting for him. So when he-asws entered it, (into the bath) he-asws would be seated for a while, and standing for a while. 

فَخَرَجَ يَوْماً مِنَ الْحَمَّامِ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ آلِ الزُّبَيْرِ يُقَالُ لَهُ كُنَيْدٌ وَ بِيَدِهِ أَثَرُ حِنَّاءٍ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا الْأَثَرُ بِيَدِكَ فَقَالَ أَثَرُ حِنَّاءٍ فَقَالَ وَيْلَكَ يَا كُنَيْدُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَ كَانَ أَعْلَمَ أَهْلِ زَمَانِهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَنْ دَخَلَ الْحَمَّامَ فَاطَّلَى ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَهُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ مِنْ قَرْنِهِ إِلَى قَدَمِهِ كَانَ أَمَاناً لَهُ مِنَ الْجُنُونِ وَ الْجُذَامِ وَ الْبَرَصِ وَ الْآكِلَةِ إِلَى مِثْلِهِ مِنَ النُّورَةِ.

So one day he-asws came out from the bathhouse, and a man from the progeny of Al-Zubeyr called Kuneyd met him-asws, and in his-asws hands were the traces of henna. So he said, ‘What are these traces in your-asws hands?’ So he-asws said: ‘Traces of henna. Woe be unto you O Kuneyd! My-asws father-asws narrated to me, and he-asws was the most knowledgeable of the people of his-asws time, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws grandfather-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The one who enters the bathhouse, so he waxes, then follows it up with the henna from his head to his feet, it would be a safety for him from the insanity, and the leprosy, and the vitiligo, and the corrosion to such like, from the Noura’.[174]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) وَ قَدْ أَخَذَ الْحِنَّاءَ وَ جَعَلَهُ عَلَى أَظَافِيرِهِ فَقَالَ يَا حَكَمُ مَا تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا فَقُلْتُ مَا عَسَيْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ فِيهِ وَ أَنْتَ تَفْعَلُهُ وَ إِنَّ عِنْدَنَا يَفْعَلُهُ الشُّبَّانُ فَقَالَ يَا حَكَمُ إِنَّ الْأَظَافِيرَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهَا النُّورَةُ غَيَّرَتْهَا حَتَّى تُشْبِهَ أَظَافِيرَ الْمَوْتَى فَغَيِّرْهَا بِالْحِنَّاءِ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Muawiya Bin Maysara, from Al Hakam Bin Uteyba who said,

‘I saw Abu Ja’far-asws and he-asws had taken the henna and made it to be upon his-asws nails, so he-asws said: ‘O Hakam! What are you saying regarding this?’ So I said, ‘What can I say and you-asws have done it, and among us it is the youth who do it’. So he-asws said: ‘O Hakam! When the nails are hit by the Noura, it changes them until they resemble the nails of the dead, therefore change it back by the henna’.[175]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا رَفَعَهُ قَالَ مَنِ اطَّلَى فَتَدَلَّكَ بِالْحِنَّاءِ مِنْ قَرْنِهِ إِلَى قَدَمِهِ نُفِيَ عَنْهُ الْفَقْرُ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from one of our companions, raising it,

‘He-asws said: ‘The one who waxes and massages with the henna from his head to his feet, the poverty is negated from him’.[176]

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُبْدُوسِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) وَ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْحَمَّامِ وَ هُوَ مِنْ قَرْنِهِ إِلَى قَدَمِهِ مِثْلُ الْوَرْدَةِ مِنْ أَثَرِ الْحِنَّاءِ .

From him, from Ahmad Bin Ubdous Bin Ibrahim who said,

‘I saw Abu Ja’far-asws and he-asws had come out from the bathhouse, and he-asws was like the rose from his-asws head to his-asws feet, from the effects of the henna’.[177]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمَّادٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُوسَى قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) مَعَ رَجُلٍ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ وَ قَدْ أَخَذَ الْحِنَّاءَ مِنْ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَ مَا تَرَوْنَ إِلَى هَذَا كَيْفَ أَخَذَ الْحِنَّاءَ مِنْ يَدَيْهِ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ فِيهِ مَا تَخْبُرُهُ وَ مَا لَا تَخْبُرُهُ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ مَنْ أَخَذَ مِنَ الْحِنَّاءِ بَعْدَ فَرَاغِهِ مِنِ اطِّلَاءِ النُّورَةِ مِنْ قَرْنِهِ إِلَى قَدَمِهِ أَمِنَ مِنَ الْأَدْوَاءِ الثَّلَاثَةِ الْجُنُونِ وَ الْجُذَامِ وَ الْبَرَصِ .

Ali Bin Muhammad, form Salih Bin Abu Hammad, from Ibrahim Bin Uqba, from Al Husayn Bin Musa who said,

‘Abu Al-Hassan-asws was with a man in the presence of the grave of Rasool-Allah-saww, so he looked at him-asws and he-asws had applied henna upon his-asws hands. So one of the people of Al-Medina said, ‘Are you not looking at this one how he-asws has applied the henna upon his-asws hands?’ So he-asws turned towards him and said to him: ‘In it is what you are informed of and what you are not informed of’. Then he-asws turned towards me, so he-asws said: ‘The one who takes from the henna after him having been freed from the waxing of the Noura, from his head to his feet, is safe from three illnesses – the insanity, and the leprosy, and the vitiligo’.[178]

باب الطِّيبِ

Chapter 48 – The Perfume

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ الطِّيبُ مِنْ أَخْلَاقِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ .

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws having said: ‘The perfume is from the etiquettes of the Prophets-as’.[179]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ الْعِطْرُ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub, from Abu Asama,

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Bin Ra’ib who said,

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws and I was with Abu Baseer, so I heard Abu Abdullah-asws and he-asws was saying: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The fragrance of the perfume strengthens the heart and increases in the union’.[181]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَمَّرِ بْنِ خَلَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَدَعَ الطِّيبَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَيْهِ فَيَوْمٌ وَ يَوْمٌ لَا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ فَفِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ وَ لَا يَدَعْ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Moamar Bin Khallad,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan-asws having said: ‘It is not befitting for the man that he should leave the perfume during each day, so if he is not able over it, so a day and a day (alternate days), so if he is not able, so during every Friday, and he should not leave it’.[182]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) الطِّيبُ فِي الشَّارِبِ مِنْ أَخْلَاقِ النَّبِيِّينَ ( عليهم السلام ) وَ كَرَامَةٌ لِلْكَاتِبِينَ .

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘The perfume in the moustache is from the mannerisms of the Prophets-as and a prestige for the two scribes (Recording Angels)’.[183]

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الطِّيبُ يَشُدُّ الْقَلْبَ .

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Is’haq, from sa’dan, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The perfume strengthens the heart’.[184]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ مَنْ تَطَيَّبَ أَوَّلَ النَّهَارِ لَمْ يَزَلْ عَقْلُهُ مَعَهُ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ

Ali Bin Ibrahim,

(It has been narrated) raising it to Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The one who applies perfume at the inception of the day his intellect would not cease to be with him up to the night’.

وَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) صَلَاةُ مُتَطَيِّبٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ صَلَاةً بِغَيْرِ طِيبٍ .

And he (the narrator) said: ‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘A Salaat (Prayer) performed whilst perfumed is superior than seventy Salaat without perfuming’.[185]

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Talha Bin Zayd,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Three (things) are which the Prophets-as came to – the perfume, and the wives, and the brushing of teeth’.[187]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ الْفُرَاتِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَطَرٍ عَنِ السَّكَنِ الْخَزَّازِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ حَقٌّ عَلَى كُلِّ مُحْتَلِمٍ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ أَخْذُ شَارِبِهِ وَ أَظْفَارِهِ وَ مَسُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنَ الطِّيبِ وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ طِيبٌ دَعَا بِبَعْضِ خُمُرِ نِسَائِهِ فَبَلَّهَا بِالْمَاءِ ثُمَّ وَضَعَهَا عَلَى وَجْهِهِ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Muhamad Bin Musa Bin Al Furat, from Ali Bin Matar, form Al Sakan Al Khazzaz who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘It is a right upon every adolescent male during every Friday that he takes from his moustache, and his nails, and touches himself with something from the perfume; and Rasool-Allah-saww, whenever it was the day of Friday, and there did not happen to be a perfume with him-saww, would call for a scarf of one of his-saww wives, so he-saww would moisten it with the water, then place it upon his-saww face’.[188]

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ كَانَ يُعْرَفُ مَوْضِعُ سُجُودِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) بِطِيبِ رِيحِهِ .

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, form Moala Bin Muhammad, and a number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, altogether from Al Hassan Bin Ali,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan-asws having said: ‘One could recognise the place of Prostration of Abu Abdullah-asws by the aromatic smell of it’.[189]

So I took from it again, and there remained something from it in my hand. So he-asws said to me: ‘Make it to be in your chest’. So I did it. Then he-asws said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘No one refuses the prestige except for a donkey’. I said, ‘What is the meaning of that?’ He-asws said: ‘The perfume, and the pillow and a number of things’.[199]

Chapter 51 – The origination of the perfume

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ لَمَّا أُهْبِطَ آدَمُ ( عليه السلام ) مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ عَلَى الصَّفَا وَ حَوَّاءُ عَلَى الْمَرْوَةِ وَ قَدْ كَانَتِ امْتَشَطَتْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ بِطِيبٍ مِنْ طِيبِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلَمَّا صَارَتْ فِي الْأَرْضِ قَالَتْ مَا أَرْجُو مِنَ الْمَشْطِ وَ أَنَا مَسْخُوطٌ عَلَيَّ فَحَلَّتْ عَقِيصَتَهَا فَانْتَثَرَ مِنْ مُشْطَتِهَا الَّتِي كَانَتِ امْتَشَطَتْ بِهَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَطَارَتْ بِهِ الرِّيحُ فَأَلْقَتْ أَكْثَرَهُ بِالْهِنْدِ فَلِذَلِكَ صَارَ الْعِطْرُ بِالْهِنْدِ .

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Hassan, from Musa Bin Bakr,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When Adam-as descended from the Paradise upon Al-Safa and Hawwa-as upon the Marwa, and she-as used to comb in the Paradise with a perfume from the perfumes of the Paradise. So when she-as came to be in the earth, she-as said: ‘How hopeful I-as am from the combing and I-as am loathsome of my-as hair’. So she-as loosened her-as braids, so there scattered from her combing which she-as used to comb with in the Paradise, and the wind carried it and cast most of it in India. Thus, it is due to that, came to be the perfume in India’.

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ مِثْلَهُ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Adullah, from Ali Bin Hassan – similar to it.

قَالَ وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ فَحَلَّتْ عَقِيصَتَهَا فَأَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَا كَانَ فِيهَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ الطِّيبِ رِيحاً فَهَبَّتْ فِي الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَأَصْلُ الطِّيبِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ .

He (the narrator) said, ‘And in another Hadeeth – :

‘She-as loosened her braids, so Allah-azwj Sent upon what was therein, from that perfume, a wind, so it descended in the eat and the west. Thus, the origination of the perfume is from that’.[202]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَلِيٍّ الْقَصِيرِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ أَصْلِ الطِّيبِ مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ هُوَ فَقَالَ أَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَقُولُهُ النَّاسُ قُلْتُ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ آدَمَ هَبَطَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ إِكْلِيلٌ فَقَالَ قَدْ كَانَ وَ اللَّهِ أَشْغَلَ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ إِكْلِيلٌ

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ja’far Bin Yahya, from Ali Al Qaseyr, from a man,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, said, ‘I asked Him-asws about the origination of the perfume, from which thing is it?’ So he-asws said: ‘Which thing are the people saying?’ I said, ‘They are alleging that Adam-as descended from the Paradise and upon his-as head was a crown’. So he-asws said: ‘He-as was too pre-occupied that there would happen to be a crown upon his-as head’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ حَوَّاءَ امْتَشَطَتْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ بِطِيبٍ مِنْ طِيبِ الْجَنَّةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُوَاقِعَهَا الْخَطِيئَةُ فَلَمَّا هَبَطَتْ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ حَلَّتْ عَقِيصَتَهَا فَأَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى مَا كَانَ فِيهَا رِيحاً فَهَبَّتْ بِهِ فِي الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَأَصْلُ الطِّيبِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ .

Then he-asws said: ‘Hawwa-as used to comb in the Paradise with a perfume from the perfumes of the Paradise before the occurrence of her-as error. So when she-as descended to the earth, she-as loosened her-as hair, so Allah-azwj the High Sent upon what was therein, a wind, so it descended with it in the east and the west. Thus, the origination of the perfume is from that’.[203]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لَمَّا أَهْبَطَ آدَمَ طَفِقَ يَخْصِفُ مِنْ وَرَقِ الْجَنَّةِ فَطَارَ عَنْهُ لِبَاسُهُ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ حُلَلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَالْتَقَطَ وَرَقَةً فَسَتَرَ بِهَا عَوْرَتَهُ

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Salih Bin Abu Hammad, from Al Husayn Bin Yazeed, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Abu Hamza,

(It has been narrated) from Ibrahim, from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When Allah-azwj the Exalted Caused Adam-as to descend from the Paradise, he-as started covering himself-as from a leaf of the Paradise, and his-as clothes flew away from him-as, which used to be upon him-as from the garments of the Paradise. So he-as cut off a leaf and veiled his-as nakedness with it. 

فَلَمَّا هَبَطَ عَبِقَتْ رَائِحَةُ تِلْكَ الْوَرَقَةِ بِالْهِنْدِ بِالنَّبْتِ فَصَارَ الطِّيبُ فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْ سَبَبِ تِلْكَ الْوَرَقَةِ الَّتِي عَبِقَتْ بِهَا رَائِحَةُ الْجَنَّةِ فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ الطِّيبُ بِالْهِنْدِ لِأَنَّ الْوَرَقَةَ هَبَّتْ عَلَيْهَا رِيحُ الْجَنُوبِ فَأَدَّتْ رَائِحَتَهَا إِلَى الْمَغْرِبِ لِأَنَّهَا احْتَمَلَتْ رَائِحَةَ الْوَرَقَةِ فِي الْجَوِّ فَلَمَّا رَكَدَتِ الرِّيحُ بِالْهِنْدِ عَبِقَ بِأَشْجَارِهِمْ وَ نَبْتِهِمْ فَكَانَ أَوَّلُ بَهِيمَةٍ رَتَعَتْ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْوَرَقَةِ ظَبْيَ الْمِسْكِ فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ صَارَ الْمِسْكُ فِي سُرَّةِ الظَّبْيِ لِأَنَّهُ جَرَى رَائِحَةُ النَّبْتِ فِي جَسَدِهِ وَ فِي دَمِهِ حَتَّى اجْتَمَعَتْ فِي سُرَّةِ الظَّبْيِ .

So when he-as descended, the aroma of that leaf remained at India with the vegetation. So the perfume came to be in the earth from the cause of that leaf upon which remained the aroma of the Paradise. Thus, from here on the perfume is at India, because upon the leaf fell the south wind, so its aroma led to the west because it carried the aroma of the leaf in the atmosphere. So when the wind stagnated at India, it remained in its trees, and its vegetation. So the first animal which grazed the musk from that leaf was a deer. Thus, from over there the musk came to be in the navel of the deer flowing the aroma of the vegetation in its body, and in its blood, gathering in the navel of the deer’.[204]

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usman Bin Isa, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘I work with the business people, so I make myself pleasant for the people not liking that they should see me as a destitute, so I take Al-Ghaliya’. So he-asws said: ‘O Is’haq! A little from Al-Ghaliya suffices and a lot of it is the same. The one who takes a little Ghaliya all the time, that would suffice for him’. I’shaq said, ‘And I bought from it during the year with ten Dirhams, so I sufficed myself with it, and its aroma was affirmed for a long duration’.[213]

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Moamar Bin Khallad who said,

‘Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws ordered me, so I made a flask for him-asws in which was musk, and Amber. So he-asws ordered me that I should write down in a paper the Verse of the Chair (2:255), and the Mother of the Book (Surah Al-Fatiha), and Al-Mawazatain (Chapters 113 & 114), and certain Verses from the Quran, and make these to be in between the covering and the flask. So I did it, then I came over to him-asws with it, and he-asws placed it in a covering, and I was looking at him-asws’.[214]

From him, from Abu Al Qasim Al Kufy, from the one who narrated it, from Muhammad Bin Al Waleed Al Kirmany who said,

‘I said to Abu Ja’far-asws the 2nd, ‘What are you-asws saying regarding the musk?’ So he-asws said: ‘My-asws father-asws ordered for musk to be made for him-asws in a container, for seven hundred Dirhams. So Al-Fazl Bin Sahl wrote to him-asws, informing him-asws that the people are refusing that. So he-asws wrote to him: ‘O Fazl! But do you not know that Yusuf-as, and he-as was a Prophet-as, used to wear the brocade buttoned with the gold, and would sit upon a chair of gold, and that did not reduce anything from his-as wisdom?’ He (the narrator) said, ‘So I made Ghaliya for him-as for four thousand Dirhams’.[216]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بَيْتاً مُظْلِماً إِلَّا بِمِصْبَاحٍ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww forbade from entering a dark house except with a lantern’.[307]

From him, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Saqafy, from Ali Bin Al Moala, from Ibrahim Bin Al Khataab,

(It has been narrated) raising it to Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The bottom part of the wall complained to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic from the weight of its upper part. So Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto it bear each other’s weight’.[308]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) بَيْتُ الشَّيَاطِينِ مِنْ بُيُوتِكُمْ بَيْتُ الْعَنْكَبُوتِ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Salma Bin Al Khataab, from Ibrahim Bin Maymoun, from Isa Bin Abdullah, from his grandfather who said,

‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The house of Satans-la from your houses is the house of the spider (cobweb)’.[309]

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about closing the doors, and covering the utensils, and extinguishing the lantern, so he-asws said: ‘Close your door for the Satan-la does not open a door, and extinguish your lantern from the rats, and it is the mouse which would not (be able to) burn down your house and overturn your utensils’.

وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَكْشِفُ مُخَمَّراً يَعْنِي مُغَطًّى .

And it is reported that, ‘(He-asws said): ‘The Satan-la does not uncover a lid, meaning a covering’.[310]

أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) إِسْرَاجُ السِّرَاجِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغِيبَ الشَّمْسُ يَنْفِي الْفَقْرَ .

Abu Ali Al Ashary, raising it, said,

‘Al-Reza-asws said: ‘Igniting the lantern before the sun sets negates the poverty’.[311]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِذَا خَرَجَ فِي الصَّيْفِ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ خَرَجَ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ وَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ فِي الشِّتَاءِ مِنَ الْبَرْدِ دَخَلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ رُوِيَ أَيْضاً كَانَ دُخُولُهُ وَ خُرُوجُهُ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Whenever the Prophet-saww went out in the summer, went out on the day of Thursday, and whenever he-saww wanted to enter in the winter from the cold, entered on the day of Friday’. And it has been reported as well that his-saww entry and his-saww exit was on the night of Friday.[312]

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullah who said,

‘Abu Hisham Al-Ja’fary reported from Abu Al-Hassan-asws the 3rd having said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Made from His-azwj earth a spot called Al-Marhoumaat. I-asws would love it to supplicate therein for it would be Answered; and that Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Made from His-azwj earth a spot called Al-Muntaqimaat, so whenever the man amasses wealth from other than Permissible means, Allah-azwj Causes a spot from it to overcome him, so its gets spent therein’.[313]

Chapter 69 – Abhorrence for the human being to sleep alone, and the characteristics Prohibited about it for the reason of fearfulness

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَدَّاحِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ نَزَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ يَا مَيْمُونُ مَنْ يَرْقُدُ مَعَكَ بِاللَّيْلِ أَ مَعَكَ غُلَامٌ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَلَا تَنَمْ وَحْدَكَ فَإِنَّ أَجْرَأَ مَا يَكُونُ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ إِذَا كَانَ وَحْدَهُ

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Ibn Qaddah, from his father who said,

‘I lodged at Abu Ja’far-asws, so he-asws said: ‘O Maymoun! Who would slumber along with you at night, is there a slave with you?’ I said, ‘No’. He-asws said: ‘So do not sleep alone, for the most audacious that the Satan-la can become, does so upon the human being when he was alone’.[314]

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ مَنْ تَخَلَّى عَلَى قَبْرٍ أَوْ بَالَ قَائِماً أَوْ بَالَ فِي مَاءٍ قَائِماً أَوْ مَشَى فِي حِذَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ أَوْ شَرِبَ قَائِماً أَوْ خَلَا فِي بَيْتٍ وَحْدَهُ وَ بَاتَ عَلَى غَمَرٍ فَأَصَابَهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ لَمْ يَدَعْهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ وَ أَسْرَعُ مَا يَكُونُ الشَّيْطَانُ إِلَى الْإِنْسَانِ وَ هُوَ عَلَى بَعْضِ هَذِهِ الْحَالَاتِ

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al A’ala Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘The one who defecates upon a grave or urinates standing, or urinates in water standing, or walks in one shoe, or drinks standing, or isolates himself alone in a house, and sleeps upon dripping hands (from food stains), so something from the Satan-la hits him, it would not leave him except if Allah-azwj so Desires it, and the quickest of what the Satan-la comes upon the human being is when he is upon one of these states.

فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) خَرَجَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَأَتَى وَادِيَ مَجَنَّةٍ فَنَادَى أَصْحَابَهُ أَلَا لِيَأْخُذْ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ بِيَدِ صَاحِبِهِ وَ لَا يَدْخُلَنَّ رَجُلٌ وَحْدَهُ وَ لَا يَمْضِي رَجُلٌ وَحْدَهُ

Rasool-Allah-saww went out in a military brigade, so he-saww came to a valley of the Jinn. So he-saww called out to his-saww companions: ‘Let each man from you grab the hand of his companions, and no man should enter alone, nor should a man go past it alone’.

قَالَ فَتَقَدَّمَ رَجُلٌ وَحْدَهُ فَانْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ وَ قَدْ صُرِعَ فَأُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَأَخَذَ بِإِبْهَامِهِ فَغَمَزَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ اخْرُجْ خَبِيثُ أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَقَامَ .

He-asws said: ‘So a man went forward alone and ended up to it, and he had epileptic fits. So Rasool-Allah-saww was informed with that, so he-saww grabbed with his thumb and touched him, then said: ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj! Get out, Wicked one, I-saww am Rasool-Allah-saww!’ He-asws said: ‘So he stood up’.[315]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ الْأَحْمَرِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ أَشَدَّ مَا يَهُمُّ بِالْإِنْسَانِ حِينَ يَكُونُ وَحْدَهُ خَالِياً لَا أَرَى أَنْ يَرْقُدَ وَحْدَهُ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Aban Al Ahmar, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘The Satan-la is the most troublesome with the human being when he happens to be alone, isolated. I-asws should not see him sleeping alone’.[316]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَبِيتُ فِي بَيْتٍ وَحْدَهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَأَكْرَهُ ذَلِكَ وَ إِنِ اضْطُرَّ إِلَى ذَلِكَ فَلَا بَأْسَ وَ لَكِنْ يُكْثِرُ ذِكْرَ اللَّهِ فِي مَنَامِهِ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at Bin Mihran who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the man who sleeps alone in a house, so he-asws said: ‘I-asws dislke that, and if he is desperate to that, so there is no problem, but he should frequent in the mentioning of Allah-azwj during his sleep for as long as he can’.[317]

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يَنَامَ فِي بَيْتٍ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ بَابٌ وَ لَا سِتْرٌ .

From him, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Mugheira, and Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Talha Bin Zayd,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having disliked that one should sleep in a house in which there is no door, nor a veil’.[318]

وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَرِهَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بَيْتاً مُظْلِماً إِلَّا بِسِرَاجٍ .

And by his chain,

‘He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww disliked entering a dark house except with a lantern’.[319]

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Ashary, from Ibn Al Qadah, from his father Maymoun,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws having said to Muhammad Bin Suleyman: ‘Where have you lodged?’ He said, ‘In such a such place’. He-asws said: ‘Is there anyone with you?’ He said, ‘No’. He-asws said: ‘Do not be alone, transfer from it, O Maymoun, for the Satan-la would be the most audacious upon the human being when he was alone’.[320]

سَهْلٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ( عليهما السلام ) أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا تَشْرَبْ وَ أَنْتَ قَائِمٌ وَ لَا تَبُلْ فِي مَاءٍ نَقِيعٍ وَ لَا تَطُفْ بِقَبْرٍ وَ لَا تَخْلُ فِي بَيْتٍ وَحْدَكَ وَ لَا تَمْشِ فِي نَعْلٍ وَاحِدٍ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ أَسْرَعَ مَا يَكُونُ إِلَى الْعَبْدِ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَى بَعْضِ هَذِهِ الْأَحْوَالِ

Sahl, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Safwan, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from one of the two (5th or 6th Imam-asws) having said: ‘Do not drink while you are standing, nor urinate in stagnant water, nor spit by a grave, nor be isolated in a house alone, nor walk in one shoe, for the Satan-la is quickest as he-asws can be to the servant when he was upon one of these states’.

وَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ مَا أَصَابَ أَحَداً شَيْ‏ءٌ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْحَالِ فَكَادَ أَنْ يُفَارِقَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ .

And he-asws said: ‘If anything were to hit anyone upon these states so it would not separate from him except if Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic so Desires it’.[321]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ أَشَدَّ مَا يَهُمُّ بِالْإِنْسَانِ إِذَا كَانَ وَحْدَهُ فَلَا تَبِيتَنَّ وَحْدَكَ وَ لَا تُسَافِرَنَّ وَحْدَكَ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from hammad, from Al Halby,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The Satan-la is the most troublesome with the human being when he was alone, therefore do not sleep alone, nor travel alone’.[322]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ جَمِيعاً عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الدِّهْقَانِ عَنْ دُرُسْتَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ ثَلَاثَةٌ يُتَخَوَّفُ مِنْهَا الْجُنُونُ التَّغَوُّطُ بَيْنَ الْقُبُورِ وَ الْمَشْيُ فِي خُفٍّ وَاحِدٍ وَ الرَّجُلُ يَنَامُ وَحْدَهُ وَ هَذِهِ الْأَشْيَاءُ إِنَّمَا كُرِهَتْ لِهَذِهِ الْعِلَّةِ وَ لَيْسَتْ هِيَ بِحَرَامٍ.

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, altogether from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Dahqaan, from Dorost, from Ibrahim Bin Abdul Hameed,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws having said: ‘Three (things) are from which the insanity is feared – the one who defecates between the graves, and the walking in one shoe, and the man who sleeps alone; and these are the things, rather disliked due to this reason, and it is not Prohibited’.[323]

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَمَّنْ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنِ ابْنِ طَيْفُورٍ الْمُتَطَبِّبِ قَالَ سَأَلَنِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) أَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ تَرْكَبُ قُلْتُ حِمَاراً فَقَالَ بِكَمِ ابْتَعْتَهُ قُلْتُ بِثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ دِينَاراً فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا هُوَ السَّرَفُ أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ حِمَاراً بِثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ دِينَاراً وَ تَدَعَ بِرْذَوْناً قُلْتُ يَا سَيِّدِي إِنَّ مَئُونَةَ الْبِرْذَوْنِ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ مَئُونَةِ الْحِمَارِ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الَّذِي يَمُونُ الْحِمَارَ يَمُونُ الْبِرْذَوْنَ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ مَنِ ارْتَبَطَ دَابَّةً مُتَوَقِّعاً بِهِ أَمْرَنَا وَ يَغِيظُ بِهِ عَدُوَّنَا وَ هُوَ مَنْسُوبٌ إِلَيْنَا أَدَرَّ اللَّهُ رِزْقَهُ وَ شَرَحَ صَدْرَهُ وَ بَلَّغَهُ أَمَلَهُ وَ كَانَ عَوْناً عَلَى حَوَائِجِهِ .

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from the one who informed him, from Ibn Tayfour Al Mutatabab who said,

‘Abu Al-Hassan-asws asked me: ‘Which thing do you ride?’ I said, ‘A donkey’. So he-asws said: ‘With how much did you buy it?’ I said, ‘With thirteen Dinars’. So he-asws said: ‘This is an extravagance if you were to buy a donkey with thirteen Dinars and neglect a work-horse’. I said, ‘My Master-asws! The provision (feed) for the work-horse is more than a provision of the donkey’. He-asws said: ‘The One Who-azwj Provides (feed) for the donkey would Provide for the work-horse. Do you not know that the one who associates with an animal in expectation of our-asws matter (Rising of Al-Qaim-asws), and annoys our-asws enemies by it, and it is linked to us-asws, Allah-azwj would Manage his livelihood, and Open his chest, and successfully conclude his work, and it would be an aid upon his needs’.[324]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ تِسْعَةُ أَعْشَارِ الرِّزْقِ مَعَ صَاحِبِ الدَّابَّةِ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Abdullah Bin Jundab, from a man from his companions,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘Nine-tenths of the livelihood is with the owner of the animal’.[325]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ أَهْدَى أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَرْبَعَةَ أَفْرَاسٍ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ سَمِّهَا لِي فَقَالَ هِيَ أَلْوَانٌ مُخْتَلِفَةٌ قَالَ فَفِيهَا وَضَحٌ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فِيهَا أَشْقَرُ بِهِ وَضَحٌ قَالَ فَأَمْسِكْهُ عَلَيَّ

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, and Ahmad Bin Muhammad, altogether from Bakr Bin Salih, from Suleyman Al Ja’fary,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan-asws, ‘I heard him-asws saying: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws gifted to Rasool-Allah-saww, four horses from Al-Yemen. So he-saww said: ‘Name these for me-saww’. So he-asws said: ‘These are of different types’. He-saww said: ‘So is there a spotted one?’ So he-asws said: ‘Yes, there is a blonde one with spots’. He-saww said: ‘So keep it for me-saww’.

He-asws said: ‘And among these are two yellow ones with spots’. So he-saww said: ‘Give these two to your-asws two sons-asws’. He-asws said: ‘And the fourth one is plain and with no spots on it’. He-saww said: ‘Sell it and keep its price for (the expenses of) your-asws family. But rather, good fortune of the cavalry horse is in the one with the spots’. 

قَالَ وَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ كَرِهْنَا الْبَهِيمَ مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ كُلِّهَا إِلَّا الْحِمَارَ وَ الْبَغْلَ وَ كَرِهْتُ شِيَةَ الْأَوْضَاحِ فِي الْحِمَارِ وَ الْبَغْلِ الْأَلْوَنِ وَ كَرِهْتُ الْقُرْحَ فِي الْبَغْلِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ بِهِ غُرَّةٌ سَائِلَةٌ وَ لَا أَشْتَهِيهَا عَلَى حَالٍ .

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I heard Abu Al-Hassan-asws saying: ‘We-asws dislike the plain ones from the animals, all of these, except for the donkey, and the mule, and dislike the spots in the donkey and the mule being of different colours, and I-asws dislike the bright-hooves in the mule except it happens to be expanded, nor do I-asws desire it upon that state’.[326]

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ali Bin Raib who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Buy an animal, for its benefit would be for you and its sustenance would be upon Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’.[327]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ الرَّقِّيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَنِ اشْتَرَى دَابَّةً كَانَ لَهُ ظَهْرُهَا وَ عَلَى اللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا .

A number of our companions, from sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Ja’far Bin bashir, from Dawood Al Raqy who said,

سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) اتَّخِذْ حِمَاراً يَحْمِلْ رَحْلَكَ فَإِنَّ رِزْقَهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ

Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Al Waleed, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to me: ‘Take a donkey who would carry your belongings, for its sustenance would be upon Allah-azwj’.

قَالَ فَاتَّخَذْتُ حِمَاراً وَ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَ يُوسُفُ أَخِي إِذَا تَمَّتِ السَّنَةُ حَسَبْنَا نَفَقَاتِنَا فَنَعْلَمُ مِقْدَارَهَا فَحَسَبْنَا بَعْدَ شِرَاءِ الْحِمَارِ نَفَقَاتِنَا فَإِذَا هِيَ كَمَا كَانَتْ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ لَمْ تَزِدْ شَيْئاً .

He (the narrator) said, ‘So I took a donkey, and I and my brother Yusuf, when the year was completed, accounted for our expenditure, and we knew of its measurement. So we counted our expenditure after the buying of the donkey, so it was as it used to be beforehand, during every year, nothing had increased (from the expenses due to the feed of the donkey)’.[329]

He (the narrator) said, ‘And it was narrated with to me by Ammar Bin Al Mubarak, and there was an increase in it,

‘(He-asws said): ‘And meet your brethren (by riding) upon it’.

وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ عَجَبٌ لِصَاحِبِ الدَّابَّةِ كَيْفَ تَفُوتُهُ الْحَاجَةُ .

And it is reported that, ‘He-asws said: ‘I-asws wonder at the owner of the animal how he would miss the (fulfilment of) needs’.[332]

Chapter 2 – The Miscellaneous regarding the animals

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ لِلدَّابَّةِ عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا سِتَّةُ حُقُوقٍ لَا يُحَمِّلُهَا فَوْقَ طَاقَتِهَا وَ لَا يَتَّخِذُ ظَهْرَهَا مَجَالِسَ يَتَحَدَّثُ عَلَيْهَا وَ يَبْدَأُ بِعَلْفِهَا إِذَا نَزَلَ وَ لَا يَسِمُهَا وَ لَا يَضْرِبُهَا فِي وَجْهِهَا فَإِنَّهَا تُسَبِّحُ وَ يَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهَا الْمَاءَ إِذَا مَرَّ بِهِ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘For the animal, upon its owner, are six rights – he would not burden it above its strength, nor would he take its back as a seat for having discussions upon it, and he would begin by feeding it when he descends, and he would not brand it, and he would not harm it in its face for it Glorifies (Allah-azwj), and he would present the water to it whenever he passes by it’.[334]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَغْرَاءِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ فِيمَا أَظُنُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ رُئِيَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَسْقِي حِمَاراً بِالرَّبَذَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ أَ مَا لَكَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَنْ يَكْفِيكَ سَقْيَ الْحِمَارِ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ دَابَّةٍ إِلَّا وَ هِيَ تَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي مَلِيكاً صَالِحاً يُشْبِعُنِي مِنَ الْعَلَفِ وَ يُرْوِينِي مِنَ الْمَاءِ وَ لَا يُكَلِّفُنِي فَوْقَ طَاقَتِي فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْقِيَهُ بِنَفْسِي .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Abu Al Magra, from Suleyman Bin Khalid who said regarding what I think is,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Abu Zarr-ra was seen watering a donkey at Al-Rabza, so one of the people said to him-ra, ‘Is there not for you-as, O Abu Zarr-ra, one who would water the donkey for you-as?’ So he-as said: ‘I-ra heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘There is none from the animals except that it asks Allah-azwj every morning, ‘O Allah-azwj! Grant me a righteous owner who would satiate me from the feed, and would quench me from the water, and would not encumber me above my strength’. Therefore I-ra love to water it myself-ra’.[335]

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ طَرْخَانَ النَّخَّاسِ قَالَ مَرَرْتُ بِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ قَدْ نَزَلَ الْحِيرَةَ فَقَالَ لِي مَا عِلَاجُكَ قُلْتُ نَخَّاسٌ فَقَالَ أَصِبْ لِي بَغْلَةً فَضْحَاءَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَ مَا الْفَضْحَاءُ قَالَ دَهْمَاءُ بَيْضَاءُ الْبَطْنِ بَيْضَاءُ الْأَفْحَاجِ بَيْضَاءُ الْجَحْفَلَةِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ الصِّفَةِ

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al Washa, from Tarkhan Al Nakhas who said,

‘I passed by Abu Abdullah-asws and he-asws had lodged at Al-Hira, so he-asws said to me: ‘What is your occupation?’ I said, ‘Animal trader’. So he-asws said: ‘Find a Fazaah mule for me’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! And what is Al-Fazaah?’ He-asws said: ‘Plain, of white belly, white thighs, white mouth’. I said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I have not seen the likes of this description’.

فَرَجَعْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَسَاعَةً دَخَلْتُ الْخَنْدَقَ إِذَا أَنَا غُلَامٌ قَدْ أَشْفَى عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ عَلَى هَذَا الصِّفَةِ فَسَأَلْتُ الْغُلَامَ لِمَنْ هَذِهِ الْبَغْلَةُ فَقَالَ لِمَوْلَايَ قُلْتُ يَبِيعُهَا قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي فَتَبِعْتُهُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَاشْتَرَيْتُهَا مِنْهُ وَ أَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا فَقَالَ هَذِهِ الصِّفَةُ الَّتِي أَرَدْتُهَا قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ ادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي فَقَالَ أَكْثَرَ اللَّهُ مَالَكَ وَ وَلَدَكَ قَالَ فَصِرْتُ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ مَالًا وَ وَلَداً .

So I returned from his-asws presence, so after a while I entered the ditch, and there was a slave who had sat upon a mule of this description. So I asked the slave, ‘For whom is this mule?’ So he said, ‘For my master’. I said, ‘Would he sell it’. He said, ‘I do not know’. So I followed him until I came up to his master. So I bought it from him, and I came over with it to him-asws (the Imam-asws). So he-asws said: ‘This is the description which I-asws wanted’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Supplicate to Allah-azwj for me’. So he-asws said: ‘May Allah-azwj Amplify your wealth and your children’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I became to be of the most abundant of the people of Al-Kufa in wealth and children’.[336]

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ali Bin Ibrahim Al Ja’fary, raising it, said,

وَ فِي نُسْخَةٍ أُخْرَى إِنَّ مِنَ الْجَوْرِ أَنْ يَقُولَ الرَّاكِبُ لِلْمَاشِي الطَّرِيقَ .

And in another copy – ‘(He-asws said): ‘It is from the inequity that the rider should be saying to the walker, ‘The road’ (Make way)’.[348]

وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ خَرَجَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) وَ هُوَ رَاكِبٌ فَمَشَوْا مَعَهُ فَقَالَ أَ لَكُمْ حَاجَةٌ قَالُوا لَا وَ لَكِنَّا نُحِبُّ أَنْ نَمْشِيَ مَعَكَ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ انْصَرِفُوا فَإِنَّ مَشْيَ الْمَاشِي مَعَ الرَّاكِبِ مَفْسَدَةٌ لِلرَّاكِبِ وَ مَذَلَّةٌ لِلْمَاشِي .

And by his chain, said,

‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws went out and he-asws was riding, so they (people) walked along with him-asws. So he-asws said: ‘Is there any need for you (to be fulfilled)?’ They said, ‘No, but we love it that we should be walking along with you-asws’. So he-asws said: ‘Disperse, for the walking of the walker with the rider is a spoiler for the rider, and a humiliation for the walker’.[349]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الدِّهْقَانِ عَنْ دُرُسْتَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِذَا رَكِبَ الرَّجُلُ الدَّابَّةَ فَسَمَّى رَدِفَهُ مَلَكٌ يَحْفَظُهُ حَتَّى يَنْزِلَ وَ إِذَا رَكِبَ وَ لَمْ يُسَمِّ رَدِفَهُ شَيْطَانٌ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ تَغَنَّ فَإِنْ قَالَ لَهُ لَا أُحْسِنُ قَالَ لَهُ تَمَنَّ فَلَا يَزَالُ يَتَمَنَّى حَتَّى يَنْزِلَ

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Dahqan, from Dorost, from Ibrahim Bin Abdul Hameed,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘When the man rides the animal, so he Names (Bismillah) and Angel rides behind him, protecting him until he descends; and when he rides and does not Name (Bismillah), a Satan-la rides behind him, so he-la is saying to him, ‘Sing!’ So if he says to him-la, ‘I am not good at it’, he-la says to him, ‘Wish for it’. So he does not cease wishing until he descends’.

وَ قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ إِذَا رَكِبَ الدَّابَّةَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدانا لِهذا الْآيَةَ وَ سُبْحانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنا هذا وَ ما كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ حُفِظَتْ لَهُ نَفْسُهُ وَ دَابَّتُهُ حَتَّى يَنْزِلَ .

And he-asws said: ‘The one who says whenever he rides the animal, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, there is no Might or Strength except with Allah-azwj, [7:43] All Praise is due to Allah Who Guided us to this, and we would not have found the Way had it not been that Allah had Guided us, [43:13] Glory be to Him Who Made this subservient to us and we were not able to do it’, Allah-azwj would Protect for him his self, and his animal until he descends’.[350]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَوْ غَيْرُهُ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ خَرَجَ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَ مَعَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ فَبَصُرَ بِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) مُقْبِلًا رَاكِباً بَغْلًا فَقَالَ لِمَنْ مَعَهُ مَكَانَكُمْ حَتَّى أُضْحِكَكُمْ مِنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنْهُ قَالَ لَهُ مَا هَذِهِ الدَّابَّةُ الَّتِي لَا تُدْرِكُ عَلَيْهَا الثَّأْرَ وَ لَا تَصْلُحُ عِنْدَ النِّزَالِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) تَطَأْطَأَتْ عَنْ سُمُوِّ الْخَيْلِ وَ تَجَاوَزَتْ قُمُوءَ الْعَيْرِ وَ خَيْرُ الْأُمُورِ أَوْسَطُهَا فَأُفْحِمَ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ فَمَا أَحَارَ جَوَاباً .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, or someone else, raising it, said,

‘Abdul Samam Bin Ali went out and with him was a group of people, so he saw Abu Al Hassan Musa Bin Ja’far-asws riding a mule towards him. So he said to the ones who were with him, ‘Stay in your places until I make you laugh from Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws’. So when he approached him-asws, said to him-asws, ‘What is this animal upon which neither can the vengeance be realised nor is it correct for the battleground’. So Abu Al-Hassan-asws said to him: ‘I-asws have come down from the elevation of the cavalry horse and have exceeded the lowliness of the wild ass, and the best of the affairs is in its middle’. So Abdul Samad was speechless and could not responded with an answer’.[351]

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from a number of our companions, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from his uncle Yaqoub Bin Salim, raising it, said,

‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Three must not ride upon one animal, for one of them would be an Accursed’.[352]

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘There is no one who would take a dog except that one carat (unit of measurement) would be reduced from his deeds every day’.[417]

عَنْهُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْكَلْبِ نُمْسِكُهُ فِي الدَّارِ قَالَ لَا .

From him, from Usman, from Sama’at who said,

‘I asked about the dog, ‘Can we keep it in the house?’ He-asws said: ‘No’.[418]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( صلوات الله عليه ) لَا خَيْرَ فِي الْكِلَابِ إِلَّا كَلْبَ صَيْدٍ أَوْ كَلْبَ مَاشِيَةٍ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yusuf Bin Aqeel, from Muhammad Bin Qays,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘There is no goodness in the dogs except for the hunting dog, or a walking dog’.[419]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ جَرَّاحٍ الْمَدَائِنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ لَا تُمْسِكْ كَلْبَ الصَّيْدِ فِي الدَّارِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَهُ بَابٌ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalif, from his father, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Al Qasim Bin Suleyman, from Jarrah Al Madainy,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Do not keep a hunting dog in the house except if there happens to be a door between you and it’.[420]

عَنْهُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ كَلْبِ الصَّيْدِ يُمْسَكُ فِي الدَّارِ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ يُغْلَقُ دُونَهُ الْبَابُ فَلَا بَأْسَ .

From him, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at who said,

‘I asked about a hunting dog, to be kept in the house’. He-asws said: ‘If there was door which could be locked on it, so there is no problem’.[421]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ( عليهما السلام ) قَالَ الْكِلَابُ السُّودُ الْبَهِيمُ مِنَ الْجِنِّ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Muhammad Bin yahya, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Aban, from Zurara,

(It has been narrated) from one of the two (5th or 6th Imam-asws) having said: ‘The dogs, entirely black, are from the Jinn’.[422]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فِيمَا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِذَا الْتَفَتَ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَإِذَا كَلْبٌ أَسْوَدُ بَهِيمٌ فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ قَبَّحَكَ اللَّهُ مَا أَشَدَّ مُسَارَعَتَكَ وَ إِذَا هُوَ شَبِيهٌ بِالطَّائِرِ فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَقَالَ هَذَا غُثَيْمٌ بَرِيدُ الْجِنِّ مَاتَ هِشَامٌ السَّاعَةَ وَ هُوَ يَطِيرُ يَنْعَاهُ فِي كُلِّ بَلْدَةٍ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Maalik Bin Atiyya, from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly who said,

‘I was with Abu Abdullah-asws in what is between Makkah and Al-Medina, when he-asws turned to his-asws left, so there was an entirely black dog. So he-asws said: ‘What is the matter with you? Allah-azwj Made you ugly, how fiercely you rush! and it was the resemblance of a bird’. So I said, ‘What is this? May I be sacrificed for you-asws’. So he-asws said: ‘This is Gusaym, a postman of the Jinn. Hisham died at this time, and he (turned himself into) a bird notifying it in every city’.[423]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَمُّونٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مِسْمَعٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( صلوات الله عليه ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الْكِلَابُ مِنْ ضَعَفَةِ الْجِنِّ فَإِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمُ الطَّعَامَ وَ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَلْيُطْعِمْهُ أَوْ لِيَطْرُدْهُ فَإِنَّ لَهَا أَنْفُسَ سَوْءٍ .

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Bin Shamoun, from Abdullah Bin Abdul Rahman, from Misma’a,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The dogs are from the weak ones of the Jinn. So when one of you is eating the meal, and there is something from it in front of him, so let him feed it or let him repel it, for it has an evil self for it’.[424]  

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْكِلَابِ فَقَالَ كُلُّ أَسْوَدَ بَهِيمٌ وَ كُلُّ أَحْمَرَ بَهِيمٌ وَ كُلُّ أَبْيَضَ بَهِيمٌ فَذَلِكَ خَلْقٌ مِنَ الْكِلَابِ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ مَا كَانَ أَبْلَقَ فَهُوَ مَسْخٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hashim, from Salim Bin Abu Salma,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, said, ‘He-asws was asked about the dogs, so he-asws said: ‘Every entirely black one, and every entirely red one, and every entirely white one, so that is a creature from the dogs from the Jinn, and whatever was speckled, so it is one morphed from the Jinn and the humans’.[425]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) رَخَّصَ لِأَهْلِ الْقَاصِيَةِ فِي كَلْبٍ يَتَّخِذُونَهُ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws that Rasool-Allah-saww allowed for the people of the countryside to take dogs’.[426]

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْكَلْبِ السَّلُوقِيِّ قَالَ إِذَا مَسِسْتَهُ فَاغْسِلْ يَدَكَ .

From him, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al A’ala Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the greyhound dog. He-asws said: ‘When you touch it, so wash your hand’.[427]

باب التَّحْرِيشِ بَيْنَ الْبَهَائِمِ

Chapter 13 – The Instigation between the animals

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( صلوات الله عليه ) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ التَّحْرِيشِ بَيْنَ الْبَهَائِمِ فَقَالَ كُلُّهُ مَكْرُوهٌ إِلَّا الْكَلْبَ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Aban Bin Usman, from Abu Al Abbas,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, said, ‘I asked him-asws about the instigation between the animals, so he-asws said: ‘All of it is abhorred, except for the dog’.[428]

عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ مِسْمَعٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ التَّحْرِيشِ بَيْنَ الْبَهَائِمِ فَقَالَ أَكْرَهُ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا الْكِلَابَ .

From him, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Aban, from Misma’a who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the instigation between the animals. So he-asws said: ‘I-asws dislike that, except for the dogs’.[429]

تَمَّ كِتَابُ الدَّوَاجِنِ مِنَ الْكَافِي وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ أَوَّلًا وَ آخِراً وَ يَتْلُوهُ كِتَابُ الْوَصَايَا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ .

The Book of the Domestic Animals from Al Kafi is completed, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, the first and the last, and it would be followed by the Book of Bequests, Allah-azwj Willing’.
