And Al-Sadiq^-asws said: ‘There is no problem with the dyeing, all of it!’’[13]

وَ عَنْهُ ع‏ أَنَّ رَجُلًا دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَدْ صَفَّرَ لِحْيَتَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا أَحْسَنَ هَذَا

And from him^-asws: ‘A man entered to see Rasool-Allah^-saww and he had yellowed his beard. Rasool-Allah^-saww said to him: ‘How excellent this is!’

ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَ قَدْ أفتى [أَقْنَى‏] بِالْحِنَّاءِ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَالَ هَذَا أَحْسَنُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ

The he entered to see him^-saww after that, and he had applied the Henna. Rasool-Allah^-saww smiled and said: ‘This is even more excellent that that!’

Then he entered to see him^-saww after that, and he had dyed with the black. He^-saww smiled at him and said: ‘This is even more excellent that that, and that!’’[14]

And Rasool-Allah^-saww said to Ali^-asws: ‘O Ali^-asws! A Dirham (spent) in the dyeing is better than a thousand Dirhams regarding something else in the Way of Allah^-azwj!

وَ فِيهِ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ خَصْلَةً يَطْرُدُ الرِّيحَ مِنَ الْأُذُنَيْنِ وَ يَجْلُو الْبَصَرَ وَ يُلَيِّنُ الْخَيَاشِيمَ وَ يُطَيِّبُ النَّكْهَةَ وَ يَشُدُّ اللِّثَةَ وَ يَذْهَبُ بِالضَّنَى وَ يُقِلُّ وَسْوَسَةَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ تَفْرَحُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ يَسْتَبْشِرُ الْمُؤْمِنُ وَ يَغِيظُ الْكَافِرَ وَ هُوَ زِينَةٌ وَ طِيبٌ وَ يَسْتَحِي مِنْهُ مُنْكَرٌ وَ نَكِيرٌ وَ هُوَ بَرَاءَةٌ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ.

And there are fourteen qualities in it – It repels the wind from the earth, and polishes the sight, and softens the nostrils, and freshens the breath, and tightens the gums, and does away with the abhorrent smell, and reduces the insinuations of Satan^-la, and the Angels rejoice, and the Momin smiles with it, and the Kafir envies, and it is an adornment, and a perfume, and Munkar and Nakeer (questioning Angels) are embarrassed from him, and it is a freedom for him in his grave’’.[15]

From Al Musanna Al Yamani who said,

‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘The most beloved of your dyed ones to Allah^-azwj is the shaven (bald)’’.[16]

مِنْ كِتَابِ اللِّبَاسِ عَنْ ذَرْوَانَ الْمَدَائِنِيِّ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الثَّانِي فَإِذَا هُوَ قَدِ اخْتَضَبَ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَدِ اخْتَضَبْتَ

From ‘Kitab Al Libaas’ – from Zarwan Al Madainy who said,

‘I entered to see Abu Al-Hassan^-asws the 2^nd, and behold, he^-asws had dyed. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^-asws! You^-asws have dyed!’

فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّ فِي الْخِضَابِ لَأَجْراً أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ التَّهْيِئَةَ تَزِيدُ فِي عِفَّةِ النِّسَاءِ أَ يَسُرُّكَ أَنَّكَ دَخَلْتَ عَلَى أَهْلِكَ فَرَأَيْتَهَا عَلَى مِثْلِ مَا تَرَاكَ عَلَيْهِ إِذْ لَمْ تَكُنْ عَلَى تَهْيِئَةٍ

He^-asws said: ‘Yes! In the dyeing there is Reward. Don’t you know that the preparation (make-up) increases in chastity of the women? Will it make you happy to enter to see your wife, so you see her being upon what you had seen her being upon when she did not happen to be upon preparation (make-up)?’

قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘No’.

قَالَ هُوَ ذَاكَ

He^-asws said: ‘It is that’.

قَالَ وَ لَقَدْ كَانَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ ع أَلْفُ امْرَأَةٍ فِي قَصْرٍ ثَلَاثُمِائَةٍ مَهِيرَةٌ وَ سَبْعُمِائَةٍ سُرِّيَّةٌ وَ كَانَ يُطِيفُ بِهِنَّ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَيْلَةٍ.

He^-asws said: ‘And there were a thousand wives for Suleyman^-as in a castle – three hundred dowered, and seven hundred concubines, and he^-asws used to go around them during every day and night’’.[17]

مِنْ كِتَابِ اللِّبَاسِ لِأَبِي النَّضْرِ الْعَيَّاشِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَنَظَرَ إِلَى الشَّيْبِ فِي لِحْيَتِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص نُورٌ مَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ كَانَتْ لَهُ نُوراً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

From ‘Kitab Al Libaas’ of Ibn Al Nazr Al Ayyashi,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘A man came to the Prophet^-saww. He^-saww looked at the grey hair in his beard. The Prophet^-saww said: ‘Noor! One who becomes grey haired in Al-Islam in Al Islam, there will be Noor for him on the Day of Qiyamah!’

قَالَ فَخَضَبَ الرَّجُلُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْخِضَابَ قَالَ نُورٌ وَ إِسْلَامٌ

He^-asws said: ‘The man dyed with the Henna, then he came to the Prophet^-saww. When he^-saww saw the dye, he^-saww said: ‘Noor and Al-Islam’.

فَخَضَبَ الرَّجُلُ بِالسَّوَادِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص نُورٌ وَ إِسْلَامٌ وَ إِيمَانٌ وَ مَحَبَّةٌ إِلَى نِسَائِكُمْ وَ رَهْبَةٌ فِي قُلُوبِ عَدُوِّكُمْ.

The man dyed with the black. The Prophet^-saww said: ‘Noor, and Islam, and Eman, and love to your women, and fear in the hearts of your enemies’’.[18]

عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْجَهْمِ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع وَ هُوَ مُخَضَّبٌ بِسَوَادٍ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَدِ اخْتَضَبْتَ بِالسَّوَادِ

From Ibn Fazzal, from Al-Hassan Bin Al Jahm who said,

‘I entered to see Abu Al-Hassan^-asws and he^-asws had dyed with black. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^-asws! You^-asws have dyed with black?’

قَالَ إِنَّ فِي الْخِضَابِ أَجْراً إِنَّ الْخِضَابَ وَ التَّهْيِئَةَ مِمَّا يَزِيدُ فِي عِفَّةِ النِّسَاءِ وَ لَقَدْ تَرَكَ النِّسَاءُ الْعِفَّةَ لِتَرْكِ أَزْوَاجِهِنَّ التَّهْيِئَةَ لَهُنَّ.

He^-asws said: ‘In the dyeing there is Reward. The dye and the preparation (make-up) is from what increases in the chastity of women, and the women leave the chastity due to their husbands neglecting the preparation (looking better) for them’’.[19]

عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: كَانَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع يَخْضِبُ رَأْسَهُ بِالْوَسِمَةِ وَ كَانَ يَصْدَعُ رَأْسَهُ وَ عِنْدَنَا لِفَافَةُ رَأْسِهِ الَّتِي كَانَ يَلُفُّ بِهَا رَأْسَهُ.

From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Al-Husayn^-asws used to dye his^-asws head with the woad, and was shaving his^-asws head, and in our^-asws possession is a wrapping of his^-asws head which he^-asws was wrapping his^-asws head with’’.[20]

عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: النِّسَاءُ يُحْبِبْنَ أَنْ يَرَيْنَ الرِّجَالَ فِي مِثْلِ مَا يُحِبُّ الرِّجَالُ أَنْ يرى [يَرَوْا] فِيهِ النِّسَاءَ مِنَ الزِّينَةِ.

From Abu Ja’far^-asws having said: ‘The women love to see the men in similar adornment what the men love to see the women to be in’’.[23]

مِنْ كِتَابِ اللِّبَاسِ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ خِضَابِ الشَّعْرِ فَقَالَ خَضَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ الْحُسَيْنُ وَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ بِالْكَتَمِ‏.

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ الزَّيَّاتِ قَالَ: كَانَ يَجْلِسُ إِلَيَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ بِهِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ

From Abdullah Bin Muskan, from Al-Hassan Al Zayyat who said,

‘A man from the people of Basrah used to sit to me. I did not cease to be with him until he entered into this matter (Wilayah)’.

قَالَ وَ كُنْتُ أَصِفُ لَهُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع- ثُمَّ إِنَّا خَرَجْنَا إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا النُّسُكَ أَخَذْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَاسْتَأْذَنَّا عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فَأَذِنَ لَنَا

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I had described Abu Ja’far^-asws to him. Then we went out to Makkah. When we had fulfilled the rituals, we took to go to Al-Medina. We sought permission to see Abu Ja’far^-asws. He^-asws permitted for us.

فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي بَيْتٍ مُنَجَّدٍ وَ عَلَيْهِ مِلْحَفَةٌ وَرْدِيَّةٌ وَ قَدِ اخْتَضَبَ وَ اكْتَحَلَ وَ حَفَّ لِحْيَتَهُ فَجَعَلَ صَاحِبِي يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ وَ يَعْرِضُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ فَلَمَّا قُمْنَا قَالَ يَا حَسَنُ إِذَا كَانَ غَداً إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَعُدْ أَنْتَ وَ صَاحِبُكَ إِلَيَّ

We entered to see him^-asws in a furnished room, and upon him^-asws was a pink wrapping, and he^-asws had dyed, and applied Kohl, and lightened his^-asws beard. My companion went on to look at him^-asws and looking at the room, and it was objectionable upon his heart. When we stood up, he^-asws said, ‘O Hassan! When it will be tomorrow, if Allah^-azwj so Desires, you and your companion return to me^-asws!’

فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ قُلْتُ لِصَاحِبِي اذْهَبْ بِنَا إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ وَ دَعْنِي قُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ أَ لَيْسَ قَدْ قَالَ عُدْ أَنْتَ وَ صَاحِبُكَ قَالَ اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَ دَعْنِي

When it was the next morning, I said to my companions, ‘Let us go to Abu Ja’far^-asws’. He said, ‘You go and leave me’. I said, ‘Glory be to Allah^-azwj! Didn’t he^-asws saying, ‘You and your companion return to me^-asws’?’ He said, ‘You go and leave me’.

فَوَ اللَّهِ إِنْ زِلْتُ بِهِ حَتَّى أَمْضَيْتُ بِهِ فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي بَيْتٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ إِلَّا حَصًى فَبَرَزَ وَ عَلَيْهِ قَمِيصٌ غَلِيظٌ وَ هُوَ شَعِثٌ

By Allah^-azwj! I did not cease with him until I went with him. We entered to see him^-asws, and he^-asws was in a room, there wasn’t anything in it except a straw mat. He^-asws emerged and upon him^-asws was a coarse shirt, and he^-asws was unkempt.

فَمَالَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ دَخَلْتُمْ عَلَيَّ أَمْسِ فِي الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي‏ رَأَيْتُمْ وَ هُوَ بَيْتُ المَرْأَةِ وَ لَيْسَ هُوَ بَيْتِي وَ كَانَ أَمْسِ يَوْمَهَا فَتَزَيَّنْتُ وَ كَانَ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَتَزَيَّنَ لَهَا كَمَا تَزَيَّنَتْ لِي وَ هَذَا بَيْتِي فَلَا يَعْرِضْ فِي قَلْبِكَ يَا أَخَا الْبَصْرَةِ

He^-asws leaned towards us and said: ‘You had entered to see me^-asws yesterday in the room which you saw, and it was the wife’s room, and it isn’t my^-asws room. Yesterday it was her day, so I^-asws adorned, and it was upon me^-asws that I^-asws adorned for her like what she adorns for me^-asws, and this is my^-asws room, therefore do not have any objection in your heart, O brother of Al-Basra!’

فَقَالَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَدْ كَانَ عَرَضَ فَأَمَّا الْآنَ فَقَدْ أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ بِهِ.

He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^-asws! There had been an objection. As for now, Allah^-azwj has Done away with it’’.[29]

مِنْ كِتَابِ الْمَحَاسِنِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ يُوشَعَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا ع إِنَّ لِي فَتَاةً قَدِ ارْتَفَعَتْ عِلَّتُهَا

From the book ‘Al Mahaasin’ – from Ismail Bin Yoshua who said,

‘I said to Al-Reza^-asws: ‘There is a young girl for me, her illness has risen (her menstruation had stopped)’.

قَالَ اخْضِبْ رَأْسَهَا بِالْحِنَّاءِ فَإِنَّ الْحَيْضَ سَيَعُودُ إِلَيْهَا

He^-asws said: ‘Dye her head with the henna, for the menstruation will be returning to her’.

قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَعَادَ إِلَيْهَا الْحَيْضُ.

He (the narrator) said, ‘I did that, and the menstruation returned to her’’.[30]

عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع قَالَ: فِي الْخِضَابِ ثَلَاثُ خِصَالٍ مَهْيَبَةٌ فِي الْحَرْبِ وَ مَحَبَّةٌ إِلَى النِّسَاءِ وَ يَزِيدُ فِي الْبَاهِ.

From Al-Hassan Bin Al Jahm who said,

‘I said to Ali^-asws Bin Musa^-asws, ‘You^-asws have dyed?’

قَالَ نَعَمْ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَ الْكَتَمِ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَأَجْراً إِنَّهَا تُحِبُّ أَنْ تَرَى مِنْكَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي تُحِبُّ أَنْ تَرَى مِنْهَا يَعْنِي الْمَرْأَةَ فِي التَّهْيِئَةِ وَ لَقَدْ خَرَجْنَ نِسَاءٌ مِنَ الْعَفَافِ إِلَى الْفُجُورِ مَا أَخْرَجَهُنَّ إِلَّا قِلَّةُ تَهْيِئَةِ أَزْوَاجِهِنَّ.

He^-asws said: ‘Yes, with the Henna and the indigo leaf. Don’t you know that there is Reward in that? She loved to see from you similar to that which you love to see from her – meaning in the preparation; and the women are exiting from the chastity to the immorality. They are not going out (out chastity to immorality) except due to the lack of preparation of their husbands’’.[32]

عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى ع قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع‏ أَنَّ نِسَاءَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ خَرَجْنَ مِنَ الْعَفَافِ إِلَى الْفُجُورِ مَا أَخْرَجَهُنَّ إِلَّا قِلَّةُ تَهْيِئَةِ أَزْوَاجِهِنَّ

From Ali^-asws Bin Musa^-asws having said: ‘My^-asws father^-asws informed me^-asws from his^-asws father^‑asws, from his^-asws forefathers^-asws: ‘Women of the children of Israel exited from the chastity to the immorality. Nothing exited them except lack of preparation of their husbands’.

وَ قَالَ إِنَّهَا تَشْتَهِي مِنْكَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي تَشْتَهِي مِنْهَا.

And he^-asws said: ‘She yearns from you similar to which you are yearning from her’’.[33]

عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: خِضَابُ الرَّأْسِ وَ اللِّحْيَةِ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ.

From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Dyeing the head and the beard is from the Sunnah’’.[34]

From Muhammad Bin Muslim,

From one of the two (5^th or 6^th Imam^-asws) having said: ‘It is not befitting for the woman that she leaves her hand from the dyeing, and even if she were to wipe it with the Henna, and even if she were to be elderly’’.[35]

عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ: رَخَّصَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِلْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تَخْضِبَ رَأْسَهَا بِالسَّوَادِ

From Ja’far^-asws Bin Muhammad^-asws, from his^-asws forefathers^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^‑saww allowed for the woman to dye her head with the black’.

He^-asws said: ‘And Rasool-Allah^-saww instructed the women with the husband with the dyeing. As for the one with a husband, she should adorn for her husband, and as for the one without a husband, she should not resemble her hand with the hand of the men (by letting her hair grow)’’.[36]

عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَ أَبِي وَ جَدِّي وَ عَمِّي حَمَّامَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ فِي الْمَسْلَخِ فَقَالَ مِمَّنِ الْقَوْمُ فَقُلْنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ قَالَ مِنْ أَيِّ الْعِرَاقِ فَقُلْنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ

From Hanan Bin Sadeyr, from his father who said,

‘I, and my father, and my grandfather, and my paternal uncle entered a bathhouse of Al‑Medina. There was a man in the changing room. He said, ‘From whom is the group?’ We said, ‘From people of Al-Iraq’. He said, From Which Al-Iraq?’ We said from the people of Al-Kufa’.

قَالَ مَرْحَباً وَ أَهْلًا يَا أَهْلَ الْكُوفَةِ أَنْتُمُ الشِّعَارُ دُونَ الدِّثَارِ

He said, ‘Hello and welcome, O people of Al-Kufa! You are the slogan without the cloak’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا يَمْنَعُكُمْ مِنَ الْإِزَارِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ عَوْرَةُ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ حَرَامٌ

Then he said, ‘What prevents you from (wearing) the trouser? Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Nakedness of the Muslim is prohibited unto the Muslim’’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘My paternal uncle sent for four thick pieces of cotton, then each one of us took one. When we came out from the bathhouse, we asked about the sheikh, and behold, it was Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws and his^-asws son^-asws Muhammad Al-Baqir^-asws was with him^‑asws’’.[39]

Then he should comb upon his sides and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Adorn me with adornment of the Guidance!’

ثُمَّ يُسَرِّحُ الشَّعْرَ مِنْ فَوْقُ ثُمَّ يَمُرُّ الْمُشْطَ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ وَ يَقُولُ فِي الْحَالَيْنِ مَعاً اللَّهُمَّ سَرِّحْ عَنِّي الْغُمُومَ وَ الْهُمُومَ وَ وَحْشَةَ الصُّدُورِ وَ وَسْوَسَةَ الشَّيْطَانِ

Then comb the hair from above, then he should pass the comb upon his chest and say during the two states together, ‘Release away from me the sadness, and the worries, and the loneliness of my chest and the insinuations of Satan^-la’.

ثُمَّ يَشْتَغِلُ بِتَسْرِيحِ الشَّعْرِ وَ يَبْتَدِئُ بِهِ مِنْ أَسْفَلَ وَ يَقْرَأُ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْناهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ.

مِنْ طِبِّ الْأَئِمَّةِ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْعَسْكَرِيِّ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: التَّسْرِيحُ بِمُشْطِ الْعَاجِ يُنْبِتُ الشَّعْرَ فِي الرَّأْسِ وَ يَطْرُدُ الدُّودَ مِنَ الدِّمَاغِ وَ يُطْفِئُ الْمِرَارَ وَ يُنَقِّي اللِّثَةَ وَ الْعُمُورَ.

From (the book) ‘Tibb Al-Aimma^-asws’ – It is reported from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Askari^-asws having said: ‘The combing with an ivory comb builds the hair in the head, and repels the insects from the brain, and extinguishes the bile, and purifies the gums and the roots’’.[116]

عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ع قَالَ: لَا تَمْتَشِطْ مِنْ قِيَامٍ فَإِنَّهُ يُورِثُ الضَّعْفَ فِي الْقَلْبِ وَ امْتَشِطْ وَ أَنْتَ جَالِسٌ فَإِنَّهُ يُقَوِّي الْقَلْبَ وَ يَمْخَجُ الْجِلْدَةَ.

And from Abu Al-Hassan Musa^-asws having said: ‘Do not comb while standing for it inherits the weakness in the heart, and comb while you are seated for it strengthens the heart, and stirs (invigorates) the skin’’.[117]

عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: تَسْرِيحُ الرَّأْسِ يَقْطَعُ الْبَلْغَمَ وَ تَسْرِيحُ الْحَاجِبَيْنِ أَمَانٌ مِنَ الْجُذَامِ وَ تَسْرِيحُ الْعَارِضَيْنِ يَشُدُّ الْأَضْرَاسَ

From Al-Sadiq^-asws having said: ‘Combing the hair, cuts the phlegm, and combing the eyebrows is safety from the leprosy, and combing the sideburns strengthens the molars’.

وَ سُئِلَ عَنْ حَلْقِ الرَّأْسِ قَالَ حَسَنٌ.

And he^-asws was asked about shaving the head. He^-asws said: ‘Excellent”.[118]

وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِذَا سَرَّحْتَ لِحْيَتَكَ فَاضْرِبْ بِالْمُشْطِ مِنْ تَحْتُ إِلَى فَوْقُ أَرْبَعِينَ مَرَّةً وَ اقْرَأْ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْناهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَ مِنْ فَوْقُ إِلَى تَحْتُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ اقْرَأْ وَ الْعادِياتِ ضَبْحاً ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ سَرِّحْ عَنِّي الْهُمُومَ وَ الْغُمُومَ وَ وَحْشَةَ الصُّدُورِ وَ وَسْوَسَةَ الشَّيْطَانِ‏.

And it is reported, he^-asws said: ‘When you comb your beard, strike with the comb from below to above forty times, and recite: Surely We Revealed it during the Night of Pre-determination [97:1] (Surah Al-Qadr), and from above to below, seven times, and recite: (I Swear) by the running (steeds) snorting [100:1] (Surah Al Adiyaat), then say, ‘Release away from me the worries, and the sadness, and loneliness of the chests, and the insinuations of Satan^-la’’.[119]

وَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنِ التَّرْجِيلِ مَرَّتَيْنِ فِي يَوْمٍ.

And from the Prophet^-saww, he^-saww forbade from the tying (hair) twice during a day’’.[120]

وَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُرَجِّلُ شَعْرَهُ وَ أَكْثَرُ مَا كَانَ يُرَجِّلُهُ بِالْمَاءِ.

And from the Prophet^-saww, he^-saww used to tie his^-saww hair, and mostly he^-saww used to tie (after wetting) with the water’’.[121]

3- طا، الأمان يه، من لا يحضر الفقيه رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ تَسْرِيحِ لِحْيَتِهِ- اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَلْبِسْنِي جَمَالًا فِي خَلْقِكَ وَ زِينَةً فِي عِبَادِكَ وَ حَسِّنْ شَعْرِي وَ بَشَرِي وَ لَا تَبْتَلِيَنِّي بِالنِّفَاقِ وَ ارْزُقْنِي الْمَهَابَةَ بَيْنَ بَرِيَّتِكَ وَ الرَّحْمَةَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ‏.

(The books) ‘Al Aman (Al Akhtar), (and) ‘Man La Yahza Al Faqeeh’ –

‘It is reported that he^-asws would say during the combing of his^-asws beard: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Clothe me^-asws with beauty among Your^-azwj creatures, and an adornment among Your^-azwj servants, and Beautify my^-asws hair, and my^-asws skin, and do not Afflict me^-asws with the hypocrisy, and Grace me^-asws love between Your^-azwj righteous servants, and the Mercy from Your^-azwj servant, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[122]

It is said that the hair which is in the hands of the people is from that comb.

فَأَمَّا مَا حَلَقَ فِي حَجَّتِهِ وَ عُمْرَتِهِ فَإِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ كَانَ يَنْزِلُ فَيَأْخُذُهُ فَيَعْرُجُ بِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ لَرُبَّمَا سَرَّحَ لِحْيَتَهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ مَرَّتَيْنِ

(The book) ‘Misbah Al Sharia’ –

‘Al-Sadiq^-asws said: ‘The Prophet^-saww said: ‘Brushing teeth is cleansing for the mouth, and Satisfaction of the Lord^-azwj, and it is mad to be from the confirmed Sunnah, and in it there are apparent and hidden benefits what cannot be counted, for the one using intellect.

فَكَمَا تُزِيلُ مَا يَكُونُ مِنْ تَلَوُّثِ أَسْنَانِكَ مِنْ مَطْعَمِكَ وَ مَأْكَلِكَ بِالسِّوَاكِ كَذَلِكَ فَأَزِلْ نَجَاسَةَ ذُنُوبِكَ بِالتَّضَرُّعِ وَ الْخُشُوعِ وَ التَّهَجُّدِ وَ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ بِالْأَسْحَارِ وَ طَهِّرْ ظَاهِرَكَ مِنَ النَّجَاسَاتِ وَ بَاطِنَكَ مِنْ كُدُورَاتِ الْمُخَالَفَاتِ وَ رُكُوبِ الْمَنَاهِي كُلِّهَا خَالِصاً لِلَّهِ

Just as whatever happens to be from contamination of your teeth, from your meals and your eating is removed by brushing the teeth, like that the filth of your sins are removed with the beseeching, and the humbleness, and holding the vigil, and seeking the Forgiveness at pre-dawn, and cleansing of your apparent from the filth, and your hidden from the dirt of the adversaries, and indulging in the Prohibitions, all of them, sincerely for Allah^-azwj.

فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص أَرَادَ بِاسْتِعْمَالِهِ مَثَلًا لِأَهْلِ التَّنَبُّهِ وَ الْيَقَظَةِ وَ هُوَ أَنَّ السِّوَاكَ نَبَاتٌ لَطِيفٌ نَظِيفٌ وَ غُصْنُ شَجَرٍ عَذْبٍ مُبَارَكٍ

The Prophet^-saww intended an example by its usage for the people of alertness and the vigilance, and it is that the toothbrush (Miswak) is a thin, clean plant, and a twig of a tree (which is) sweet, Blessed.

وَ الْأَسْنَانُ خَلْقٌ خَلَقَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي الْحَلْقِ- آلَةً لِلْأَكْلِ وَ أَدَاةً لِلْمَضْغِ وَ سَبَباً لِاشْتِهَاءِ الطَّعَامِ وَ إِصْلَاحِ الْمَعِدَةِ وَ هِيَ جَوْهَرَةٌ صَافِيَةٌ تَتَلَوَّثُ بِصُحْبَةِ تَمْضِيغِ الطَّعَامِ فَتَتَغَيَّرُ بِهَا رَائِحَةُ الْفَمِ وَ يَتَوَلَّدُ مِنْهَا الْفَسَادُ فِي الدِّمَاغِ

And the tooth is a creation Allah^-azwj the Exalted has Created in the mouth as a tool for the eating, and an instrument for the chewing, and a means of yearning the food and correcting the stomach (healthy), and it is a clean essence which gets contaminated due to accompaniment with chewing of the food. So, it changes the smell of the mouth and from it is produced the spoilage in the brain.

فَإِذَا اسْتَاكَ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْفَطِنُ بِالنَّبَاتِ اللَّطِيفِ وَ مَسَحَهَا عَلَى الْجَوْهَرَةِ الصَّافِيَةِ زَالَ عَنْهَا الْفَسَادُ وَ التَّغْيِيرُ وَ عَادَتْ إِلَى أَصْلِهَا

When the discerning Momin brushes the teeth with the thin plant and wipes it upon the clear essence, the spoilage and the changes are removed from it and it returns to its original (state).

كَذَلِكَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الْقَلْبَ طَاهِراً صَافِياً وَ جَعَلَ غِذَاءَهُ الذِّكْرَ وَ الْفِكْرَ وَ الْهَيْبَةَ وَ التَّعْظِيمَ وَ إِذَا شِيبَ الْقَلْبُ الصَّافِي بِتَغْذِيَتِهِ بِالْغَفْلَةِ وَ الْكَدَرِ صُقِلَ بِمِصْقَلَةِ التَّوْبَةِ وَ نُظِّفَ بِمَاءِ الْإِنَابَةِ لِيَعُودَ إِلَى حَالَتِهِ الْأَوَّلَةِ وَ جَوْهَرَتِهِ الْأَصْلِيَّةِ الصَّافِيَةِ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِينَ وَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ‏

Similar to that, Allah^-azwj has Created the heart as clear and Made is feed to be the Zikr, and the thinking, and the awe and the reverence (to Allah^-azwj); and when the clear heart turns grey by being fed the heedlessness and the dirt, it is polished by the polish of repentance and cleaned with water of penitence in order to return to its former state and its original clear essence. Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Says: Allah Loves the repenting ones, and He Loves the cleaning ones [2:222].

وَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص عَلَيْكُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ- فَالنَّبِيُّ أَمَرَنَا بِالسِّوَاكِ ظَاهِرَ الْأَسْنَانِ وَ أَرَادَ بِهَذَا الْمَعْنَى الْمَثَلَ وَ مَنْ أَنَاخَ تَفَكُّرَهُ عَلَى بَابِ عَيْبَةِ الْعِبْرَةِ فِي اسْتِخْرَاجِ مِثْلِ هَذِهِ الْأَمْثَالِ فِي الْأَصْلِ وَ الْفَرْعِ فَتَحَ اللَّهُ لَهُ عُيُونَ الحِكْمَةِ وَ الْمَزِيدُ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ‏ لا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ‏.

And the Prophet^-saww said: ‘Upon you all is with brushing the teeth!’ The Prophet^-saww instructed us with brushing the apparent teeth, and he^-saww intended with hit the meaning of the example (to be set), and the one analyses his thinking upon a door of taking the lesson from the emergence of these examples, in the roots (principles) and the branches, Allah^-azwj will Open for him the eyes of wisdom, and the Increase is from the Grace of Allah^-azwj, and Allah^-azwj does not Waste the Recompense of good doers’’.[241]

47- مكا، مكارم الأخلاق‏ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِذَا اسْتَاكَ اسْتَاكَ عَرْضاً وَ كَانَ يَسْتَاكُ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ مَرَّةً قَبْلَ نَوْمِهِ وَ مَرَّةً إِذَا قَامَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ إِلَى وِرْدِهِ وَ مَرَّةً قَبْلَ خُرُوجِهِ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ وَ كَانَ يَسْتَاكُ بِالْأَرَاكِ أَمَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ جَبْرَئِيلُ‏.

(The book) ‘Makarim Al Akhlaq’ –

‘The Prophet^-saww, whenever he^-saww brushed his^-saww teeth, brushed sideways, and he^-saww would brush three times during every night – before his^-saww sleep, and when he^-saww woke up from his^-saww sleep to his^-saww Zikr, and once before his^-saww going out to the morning Salat, and he^-saww would brush teeth with ‘Al-Arak’ (twig). Jibraeel^-as had instructed him^-saww with that’’.[242]

48- مكا، مكارم الأخلاق قَالَ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ع‏ أَكْلُ الْأُشْنَانِ يُذِيبُ الْبَدَنَ وَ التَّدَلُّكُ بِالْخَزَفِ يُبْلِي الْجَسَدَ وَ السِّوَاكُ فِي الْخَلَاءِ يُورِثُ الْبَخَرَ.

(The book) ‘Makarim Al Akhlaq’ –

‘Musa^-asws Bin Ja’far^-asws said: ‘Eating the potash melts the body, and massaging with the pottery wears out the body, and brushing the teeth in the toilet inherits the bad breath’’.[243]

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: السِّوَاكُ يَزِيدُ الرَّجُلَ فَصَاحَةً.

From the Prophet^-saww having said: ‘Brushing the teeth increases the man in eloquence’’.[244]

وَ قَالَ ص‏ إِذَا صُمْتُمْ فَاسْتَاكُوا بِالْغَدَاةِ وَ لَا تَسْتَاكُوا بِالْعَشِيِّ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ صَائِمٍ تَيْبَسُ شَفَتَاهُ بِالْعَشِيِّ إِلَّا كَانَ نُوراً بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.

And he^-saww said: ‘Whenever you fast, then brush teeth in the morning and do not brush teeth in the evening, for it isn’t from a fasting one, one whose lips are dry in the evening except it would be a Noor between his eyes on the Day of Qiyamah’’.[245]

وَ قَالَ ص‏ نِعْمَ السِّوَاكُ الزَّيْتُونُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ وَ يَذْهَبُ بِالْحَفْرِ وَ هُوَ سِوَاكِي وَ سِوَاكُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ قَبْلِي.

And he^-saww said: ‘Best of the toothbrush is the olive (branch) from the Blessed tree, and it does away with the cavity, and it is my^-saww toothbrush and toothbrush of the Prophets^-as before me^-saww’’.[246]

وَ قَالَ ع‏ أَرْبَعٌ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ الْخِتَانُ وَ التَّعَطُّرُ وَ النِّكَاحُ وَ السِّوَاكُ.

And he^-asws said: ‘Four are from the Sunnahs (conducts) of the Messengers^-as – the circumcision, and the perfuming, and the marriage, and brushing the teeth’’.[247]

وَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع‏ أَرْبَعٌ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ التَّعَطُّرُ وَ السِّوَاكُ وَ النِّسَاءُ وَ الْحِنَّاءُ.

And Al-Sadiq^-asws having said: ‘Four are from Sunnahs (conducts) of the Messengers^-as – the perfuming, and brushing the teeth, and the women (marriages), and the Henna’’.[248]

مِنْ كِتَابِ رَوْضَةِ الْوَاعِظِينَ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ع‏ لَا يَسْتَغْنِي شِيعَتُنَا عَنْ‏ أَرْبَعٍ عَنْ خُمْرَةٍ يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا وَ خَاتَمٍ يَتَخَتَّمُ بِهِ وَ سِوَاكٍ يَسْتَاكُ بِهِ وَ سُبْحَةٍ مِنْ طِينِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع فِيهَا ثَلَاثٌ وَ ثَلَاثُونَ حَبَّةً مَتَى قَلَّبَهَا ذَاكِراً لِلَّهِ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ حَبَّةٍ أَرْبَعِينَ حَسَنَةً وَ إِذَا قَلَّبَهَا سَاهِياً يَعْبَثُ بِهَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ عِشْرِينَ حَسَنَةً.

From (the book) ‘Rowzat Al Waizeen’ –

‘Abu Al-Hassan Musa^-asws said: ‘Our^-asws Shias are not needless from four – from a ‘Khumrah’ (straw mat/Mohr) praying Salat upon it, and a ring to be wearing it, and a toothbrush he brushes the teeth with, and a rosary (Tasbeeh) from the clay of the grave of Al-Husayn^-asws wherein are thirty-three seeds (beads), when he turns it doing Zikr of Allah^-azwj, Allah^-azwj will Write forty good deeds being for him with every seed (bead), and when he turns it carelessly vainly with it, Allah^-azwj will Write twenty good deeds for him’’.[249]

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص‏ فِي وَصِيَّتِهِ لِعَلِيٍّ ع- يَا عَلِيُّ عَلَيْكَ بِالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ وُضُوءٍ.

The Prophet^-saww said in his^-saww bequest to Ali^-asws: ‘O Ali^-asws! Upon you^-asws is with brushing the teeth during every Wud’u’’.[250]

وَ قَالَ ص‏ السِّوَاكُ شَطْرُ الْوُضُوءِ.

And he^-saww: ‘Brushing the teeth is a portion (part) of the Wud’u’’.[251]

وَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع‏ لَمَّا دَخَلَ النَّاسُ فِي الدِّينِ أَفْوَاجاً قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ أَتَتْهُمُ الْأَزْدُ أَرَقُّهَا قُلُوباً وَ أَعْذَبُهَا أَفْوَاهاً

And Al-Sadiq^-asws said: ‘When the people entered the religion in droves, Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Al-Azd have come to you, their hearts are kind and their mouths are fresh’.

فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا أَرَقُّهَا قُلُوباً عَرَفْنَاهُ فَلِمَ صَارَتْ أَعْذَبَهَا أَفْوَاهاً-

‘It was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! This kindness of hearts, we recognise it, but why have they become of fresh mouths?’

قَالَ ص إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَسْتَاكُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ.

He^-saww said: ‘They used to brush the teeth during the pre-Islamic period’’.[252]

وَ قَالَ ع‏ لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ طَهُورٌ وَ طَهُورُ الْفَمِ السِّوَاكُ.

And he^-asws said: ‘For all things there is a cleansing, and cleansing of the mouth is brushing the teeth’’.[253]

وَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع‏ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص كَانَ يُكْثِرُ السِّوَاكَ وَ لَيْسَ بِوَاجِبٍ وَ لَا يَضُرُّكَ تَرْكُهُ فِي فَرْطِ الْأَيَّامِ وَ لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَسْتَاكَ الصَّائِمُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ أَيَّ النَّهَارِ شَاءَ وَ لَا بَأْسَ بِالسِّوَاكِ لِلْمُحْرِمِ وَ يُكْرَهُ السِّوَاكُ فِي الْحَمَّامِ لِأَنَّهُ يُورِثُ وَبَاءَ الْأَسْنَانِ.

And Abu Ja’far^-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww would frequently brush the teeth, and it isn’t obligatory, nor will it harm you neglecting it in excessive days (3 to 15 days), and there is no problem if the fasting one were to brush his teeth during a month of Ramazan, whichever (time) of the day he so desires, and there is no problem with brushing the teeth by the one in Ihraam, and brushing the teeth in the bathhouse is disliked because it plague of the teeth is inherit by it’’.[254]

وَ قَالَ الْبَاقِرُ ع وَ الصَّادِقُ ع‏ صَلَاةُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بِالسِّوَاكِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ رَكْعَةً بِغَيْرِ سِوَاكٍ.

And Al-Baqir^-asws and Al-Sadiq^-asws said: ‘Salat of two Cycles with having brushed the teeth is better than seventy Cycles Salat prayed without having brushed the teeth’’.[255]

وَ قَالَ الْبَاقِرُ ع‏ السِّوَاكُ لَا تَدَعْهُ فِي كُلِّ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَ لَوْ أَنْ تُمِرَّهُ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً.

And Al-Baqir^-asws said: ‘The toothbrush, do not leave it during every three days, and even if you pass it (on your teeth) even once’’.[256]

وَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص‏ اكْتَحِلُوا وَتْراً وَ اسْتَاكُوا عَرْضاً

And the Prophet^-saww said: ‘Apply Kohl one (swipe), and brush teeth sideways’.

وَ تَرَكَ الصَّادِقُ السِّوَاكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْبَضَ بِسَنَتَيْنِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ أَسْنَانَهُ ضَعُفَتْ

And Al-Sadiq^-asws had neglected the toothbrush two years before he^-asws passed away, and that is because his^-asws teeth had weakened’.

وَ سَأَلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ أَخَاهُ مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ ع- عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَسْتَاكُ بِيَدِهِ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ وَ هُوَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى السِّوَاكِ قَالَ إِذَا خَافَ الصُّبْحَ فَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ.

And Ali son of Ja’far^-asws had asked his brother^-asws Musa Bin Ja’far^-asws about the man brushing his teeth with his hand (finger) when standing to the night Salat while he is able upon the toothbrush. He^-asws said: ‘When he fears the morning (break of dawn), there is no problem with it’’.[257]

وَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص‏ لَوْ لَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ وُضُوءِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ.

And the Prophet^-saww said: ‘Had it not been difficult upon my^-saww community, I^-saww would have instructed them with brushing the teeth during Wud’u of every Salat’’.[258]

وَ رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّ الْكَعْبَةَ شَكَتْ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا تَلْقَى مِنْ أَنْفَاسِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهَا قِرِّي كَعْبَةُ فَإِنِّي مُبْدِلُكِ بِهِمْ قَوْماً يَتَنَظَّفُونَ بِقُضْبَانِ الشَّجَرِ

And it is reported that the Kaaba complained to Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic of what it faced from the breaths of the Polytheists. Allah^-azwj Blessed and Exalted Revealed to is: “Calm down Kabah! I^-azwj shall be Replacing them for you with a people who will be cleansing with twigs of the tree!”

فَلَمَّا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ نَبِيَّهُ مُحَمَّداً ص نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ جَبْرَئِيلُ بِالسِّوَاكِ وَ الْخِلَالِ.

When Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Sent His^-azwj Prophet^-saww Muhammad^-saww, the Trustworthy Spirit Jibraeel^-as descended unto him^-saww with (Commands of) brushing the teeth and picking the teeth’’.[259]

وَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع‏ فِي السِّوَاكِ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ خَصْلَةً هُوَ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ وَ مَطْهَرَةٌ لِلْفَمِ وَ مَجْلَاةٌ لِلْبَصَرِ وَ يُرْضِي الرَّحْمَنَ وَ يُبَيِّضُ الْأَسْنَانَ وَ يَذْهَبُ بِالْحَفْرِ وَ يَشُدُّ اللِّثَةَ وَ يُشَهِّي الطَّعَامَ وَ يَذْهَبُ بِالْبَلْغَمِ وَ يَزِيدُ فِي الْحِفْظِ وَ يُضَاعِفُ الْحَسَنَاتِ وَ تَفْرَحُ بِهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ

And Al-Sadiq^-asws said: ‘There are twelve qualities in brushing the teeth – it is from the Sunnah, and a cleansing for the mouth, and polishing for the sight, and Satisfaction of the Beneficent, and whitens the teeth, and does away with the cavity, and tightens the gums, and years the food, and does away with the phlegm, and increases in the memory, and multiplies (Rewards of) the good deeds, and the Angels rejoice with it.

CHAPTER 25 – THE NARCISSUS, AND THE OREGANO, AND THE MYRTLE, AND REST OF THE AROMATIC PLANTS

1- مكا، مكارم الأخلاق رَوَى الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ: لِلنَّرْجِسِ فَضَائِلُ كَثِيرَةٌ فِي شَمِّهِ وَ دُهْنِهِ وَ لَمَّا أُضْرِمَتِ النَّارُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَجَعَلَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بَرْداً وَ سَلَاماً أَنْبَتَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فِي تِلْكَ النَّارِ النَّرْجِسَ فَأَصْلُ النَّرْجِسِ مِمَّا أَنْبَتَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ.

(The book) ‘Makarim Al Akhlaq – It is reported by Al-Hassan Bin Al Munzir, raising it, said,

‘For the Narcissus there are many merits in smelling it and oiling it, and when the fire was ignited for Ibrahim^-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-as, Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Made it cool and safe. Allah^-azwj Blessed and Exalted Grew the Narcissus in that fire. Thus the origin of the Narcissus is from what Allah^-azwj the Exalted had Planted in that era’’.[311]

عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمَرْزَنْجُوشِ فَشَمُّوهُ فَإِنَّهُ جَيِّدٌ لِلْخُشَامِ.

From Anas (a well known fabricator) having said,

‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Upon you all is with the Oregano, so smell it, for it is good for the nostrils’’.[312]

عَنْهُ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص كَانَ إِذَا رُفِعَ إِلَيْهِ الرَّيْحَانُ شَمَّهُ وَ رَدَّهُ إِلَّا الْمَرْزَنْجُوشَ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يَرُدُّهُ.

From him (Anas – well known fabricator), said,

‘Rasool-Allah^-saww, wherever the aromatic plant was raised to him^-saww, he^-saww would smell it and return it, except the Oregano, for he^-saww would not return it’’.[313]

عَنِ الْكَاظِمِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ نِعْمَ الرَّيْحَانُ الْمَرْزَنْجُوشُ يَنْبُتُ تَحْتَ سَاقَيِ الْعَرْشِ وَ مَاؤُهُ شِفَاءُ الْعَيْنِ‏.

From Al-Kazim^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Best of the aromatic plants is the Oregano growing beneath two bases of the Throne, and it’s water is a healing for the eyes’’.[314]

Abu Al-Hassan^-asws having said: ‘It is not befitting that none of your houses should be empty from three, these are protectors of the house, and these are – the cat, and the pigeon, and the rooster. If there were to be a comforter with the rooster (chicken, then fine), or else there is no problem for the one not able upon it’’.[408]

رَوَى الْجَعْفَرِيُّ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع فِي بَيْتِهِ زَوْجُ حَمَامٍ أَمَّا الذَّكَرُ فَأَخْضَرُ وَ أَمَّا الْأُنْثَى فَسَوْدَاءُ وَ رَأَيْتُهُ ع يَفُتُّ لَهُمَا الْخُبْزَ وَ يَقُولُ يَتَحَرَّكَانِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَيُؤْنِسَانِ وَ مَا مِنِ انْتِفَاضَةٍ يَنْتَفِضَانِهَا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِلَّا اتَّقَى مَنْ دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ مِنْ عَرَمَةِ الْأَرْضِ‏.

‘I saw Abu Al-Hassan^-asws having a pair of pigeons in his^-asws house. As for the male, it was green, and as for the female, it was black. And I saw him^-asws crumbling the bread for them and saying: ‘They move at night to socialise, and there is none from the flapping its flaps with at night except it saves the one who enters the house from the open ground’’.[409]

عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: لَيْسَ مِنْ بَيْتِ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا وَ فِيهِ حَمَامٌ لِأَنَّ سُفَهَاءَ الْجِنِّ يَعْبَثُونَ بِصِبْيَانِ الْبَيْتِ فَإِذَا كَانَ فِيهِ حَمَامٌ عَبَثُوا بِالْحَمَامِ وَ تَرَكُوا النَّاسَ‏.

From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘There wasn’t any house (room) of the Prophet^-saww except and in it was a pigeon, because the foolish Jinn play with the children of the house. When there were to be pigeons in it, they would play with the pigeons and leave the people’’.[410]

‘Raising it to Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen^-asws said: ‘Fear the going out after sleep time, for there are creatures for Allah^-azwj, He^-azwj Dispatches them, so they are doing what they have been Commanded to’’.[422]

6- ضا، فقه الرضا عليه السلام‏ وَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ الْخُرُوجَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِكَ فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ

(The book) ‘Fiqh Al-Reza^-asws’, may the greetings be upon him^-asws: ‘And whenever you want to go out from your house, then say, ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj, and there is neither any might nor any strength except with Allah^-azwj! I have relied upon Allah^-azwj!’

When you were to say like this, an Angel calls out regarding your words: ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj! You have been Guided, O you servant!’ And regarding your words, ‘There is neither any might nor strength except with Allah^-azwj: ‘You are protected’; and regarding your worlds, ‘I have relied upon Allah^-azwj: ‘You are sufficed’.

فَيَقُولُ الشَّيْطَانُ حِينَئِذٍ كَيْفَ لِي بِعَبْدٍ هُدِيَ وَ وُقِيَ وَ كُفِيَ

The Satan^-la says at that time, ‘How can it be for me^-la with a servant who is Guided, and Saved, and Sufficed?’

وَ اقْرَأْ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ مَرَّةً عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَ مَرَّةً عَنْ يَسَارِكَ وَ مَرَّةً مِنْ خَلْفِكَ وَ مَرَّةً مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْكَ وَ مَرَّةً مِنْ فَوْقِكَ وَ مَرَّةً مِنْ تَحْتِكَ فَإِنَّكَ تَكُونُ فِي يَوْمِكَ كُلِّهِ فِي أَمَانِ اللَّهِ

And recite, Say: ‘He, Allah, is One [112:1] (Surah Al-Tawheed), once on your right, and once on your left, and once from your back, and one in front of you, and once above you, and one under you, for you will be in the Safety of Allah^-azwj during your day, all of it.

And when you enter your house, then greet unto your family, for if there does not happen to be anyone in it, then say, ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj, and by Allah^-azwj, and the greetings unto Rasool-Allah^-saww, and the greetings upon us, and upon the righteous servants of Allah^-azwj’, and fear in entirety of your matters, and improve your mannerisms, and beautify your co-habitation with the young and the old, and be humble with the scholars and religious people, and be kind with what your right hands possess, and pact with your brethren, and hasten in fulfilling your needs.

وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ الْغِيبَةَ وَ النَّمِيمَةَ وَ سُوءَ الْخُلُقِ مَعَ أَهْلِكَ وَ عِيَالِكَ وَ أَحْسِنْ مُجَاوَرَةَ مَنْ جَاوَرَكَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَسْأَلُكَ عَنِ الْجَارِ

And beware of the backbiting, and the gossiping, and the evil manners with your wife and your dependants, and improve neighbourliness with the one in your neighbourhood, for Allah^‑azwj will Question you about the neighbours.

وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَوْصَانِي فِي الْجَارِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يَرِثُنِي وَ بِاللَّهِ التَّوْفِيقُ.

‘And it has been reported from Rasool-Allah^-saww that Allah^-azwj Blessed and Exalted Advised me^-saww regarding the neighbour to the extent that I^-saww thought that he would inherit me^‑saww, and with Allah^-azwj the Inclination’’.[423]

One of the companions of Abu Zarr^-ra asked people of his^-ra household about him^-ra. She said, ‘He^-ra has gone out’. He said, ‘He will return?’

قَالَتْ مَتَى يَرْجِعُ مَنْ رُوحُهُ بِيَدِ غَيْرِهِ وَ لَا يَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِهِ نَفْعاً وَ لَا ضَرّاً

She said, ‘When will he^-ra return the one whose soul is in the hand of someone else and he^-ra neither controls any benefit nor harm for himself^-ra?’

O Allah^-azwj! Do not Deprive me of its Rewards, nor Forget me from replacing it in my world and my Hereafter. You^-azwj are Able upon that!

وَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تُحْرِزَ مَتَاعَكَ فَاقْرَأْ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ اكْتُبْهَا وَ ضَعْهَا فِي وَسَطِهِ وَ اكْتُبْ أَيْضاً وَ جَعَلْنا مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا فَأَغْشَيْناهُمْ فَهُمْ لا يُبْصِرُونَ‏- لَا ضَيْعَةَ عَلَى مَا حَفِظَهُ اللَّهُ- فَإِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ‏ فَإِنَّكَ قَدْ أَحْرَزْتَهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَلَا يَصِلُ إِلَيْهِ سُوءٌ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ.

And when you want to protect your belongings, then recite upon it, Ayat Al Kursy, and write it, and place it in its midst, and write as well: And We Made a barrier to be from their front and a barrier from their back, and We Covered them, so they are not seeing [36:9] – there is no wastage upon what is Protected by Allah^-azwj – But if they turn back, say: ‘Allah is Sufficient for me, there is no god but He; upon Him do I rely, and He is Lord of the Magnificent Throne [9:129], so you will have protected it, if Allah^-azwj so Desires. No evil will arrive to it by the Permission of Allah^-azwj’’.[449]

(The book) ‘Ilal Al Sharaie’ – from his father, from Muhammad Al Attar, from Al Ashari, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub, from the one who mentioned it,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws, from his^-asws father^-asws, from Jabir Bin Abdullah Al Ansari who said, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Close your doors, and cover your utensils, and tie the opening of your waterskins, for the Satan^-as neither uncovers a covering nor does he until a string!

And extinguish your lamps, for the mice can burn down the house upon its people, and contain your livestock and your domestic animals from when the sun sets until redness of the evening is gone’.[450]

2- ع، علل الشرائع عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَطَّارِ عَنِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ‏ رَجُلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي كَلَامٍ كَثِيرٍ- لَا تُؤْوُوا مِنْدِيلَ اللَّحْمِ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَإِنَّهُ مَرْبِضُ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ لَا تُؤْوُوا التُّرَابَ خَلْفَ الْبَابِ فَإِنَّهُ مَأْوَى الشَّيْطَانِ

(The book) ‘Ilal Al Sharaie’ – from his father, from Muhammad Al Attar, from Al Ashari, from Al Barqy, from a man, from Ibn Asbat, from his uncle,

‘Raising it to Amir Al-Momineen^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said in a lot of speech: ‘Do not keep the meat towels in the house for it is a sickness of Satan^-la, and do not keep the dust behind the door for it is an abode of Satan^-la!

وَ إِذَا خَلَعَ أَحَدُكُمْ ثِيَابَهُ فَلْيُسَمِّ لِئَلَّا تَلْبَسْهَا الْجِنُّ فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ لَمْ يُسَمِّ عَلَيْهَا لَبِسَتْهَا الْجِنُّ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ وَ لَا تَتْبَعُوا الصَّيْدَ فَإِنَّكُمْ عَلَى غِرَّةٍ وَ إِذَا بَلَغَ أَحَدُكُمْ بَابَ حُجْرَتِهِ فَلْيُسَمِّ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْفِرُ الشَّيْطَانَ

And when one of you removes his clothes, let him name (Allah^-azwj), lest the Jinn wear it, for if one does not name (Allah^-azwj) upon it, the Jinn wear it until morning; and do not seek the prey (hunt) for you will be upon a deception (surprise attack); and when one of you reaches the door of his room, let him name (Allah^-azwj), for the Satan^-la will flee.

وَ إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ بَيْتَهُ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ فَإِنَّهُ يُنْزِلُهُ الْبَرَكَةَ وَ تُؤْنِسُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ لَا يَرْتَدِفْ ثَلَاثَةٌ عَلَى دَابَّةٍ فَإِنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ مَلْعُونٌ وَ هُوَ الْمُقَدَّمُ‏ وَ لَا تُسَمُّوا الطَّرِيقَ السِّكَّةَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا سِكَّةَ إِلَّا سِكَكُ الْجَنَّةِ

And when one of you enters his house, let him greet for it descends the Blessings and the Angels are comforted; and do not place three (persons) upon an animal, for one of them would be accursed, and he is the front one; and do not name the road as a path, for there is no path except the path of Paradise.

وَ لَا تُسَمُّوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ الْحَكَمَ وَ لَا أَبَا الْحَكَمِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَكَمُ وَ لَا تَذْكُرُوا الْأُخْرَى إِلَّا بِخَيْرٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْأُخْرَى‏ وَ لَا تُسَمُّوا الْعِنَبَ الْكَرْمَ فَإِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ هُوَ الْكَرْمُ

And do not name your children as ‘Al Hakam’ (the wise one), nor as ‘Abu Al Hakam’ (father of the wise one) for Allah^-azwj, He^-azwj is ‘Al Hakam’ (the Wise One); and do not mention ‘the last’ except with goodness, for Allah^-azwj, He^-azwj is the Last; and do not name the grapes as ‘Al Karm’ (the vineyard), for the Momin, he is the liberal (Al Karm).

وَ اتَّقُوا الْخُرُوجَ بَعْدَ نَوْمَةٍ فَإِنَّ لِلَّهِ دَوَابّاً يَبُثُّهَا يَفْعَلُونَ ما يُؤْمَرُونَ‏ وَ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ نُبَاحَ الْكَلْبِ وَ نَهِيقَ الْحَمِيرِ فَتَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ فَإِنَّهَا يَرَوْنَ وَ لَا تَرَوْنَ‏ فَافْعَلُوا ما تُؤْمَرُونَ‏ وَ نِعْمَ اللَّهْوُ الْمِغْزَلُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ الصَّالِحَةِ.

And fear the going out after sleep time, for there are animals for Allah^-azwj He^-azwj Dispatches. They are doing whatever they have been Commanded to; and when you hear barking of the dog, and braying of the donkey, seek Refuge with Allah^-azwj from the Pelted Satan^-la, for these are seeing while you are not seeking (what they can see), and they are doing what they have been Commanded to; and best amusement of the righteous woman is the spindle’’.[451]

He^-asws said: ‘He should clean his clothes, and perfume his smell, and improve his house, and sweep his courtyard, to the extent that igniting the lamp before setting of the sun negates the poverty and increases in the sustenance’’.[454]
