6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from certain persons of his people from Ali ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir who has said the following: “I once led abu Basir to a bathhouse and I saw abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), apply lime. Abu Basir went close to him (the Imam) and offered greeting of peace. He (the Imam) asked, ‘O abu Basir, do you like to apply lime paste?’ He replied, ‘Only three days ago I had applied it.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Do you know that it is purification? So you should apply it.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
