سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ فَقَالَ أَكْتَحِلُ إِذَا أَحْرَمْتُ قَالَ لَا وَ لِمَ تَكْتَحِلُ قَالَ إِنِّي ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ فَإِذَا أَنَا اكْتَحَلْتُ نَفَعَنِي وَ إِذَا لَمْ أَكْتَحِلْ ضَرَّنِي قَالَ فَاكْتَحِلْ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَجْعَلُ مَعَ الْكُحْلِ غَيْرَهُ قَالَ مَا هُوَ قَالَ آخُذُ خِرْقَتَيْنِ فَأُرَبِّعُهُمَا فَأَجْعَلُ عَلَى كُلِّ عَيْنٍ خِرْقَةً وَ أُعَصِّبُهُمَا بِعِصَابَةٍ إِلَى قَفَايَ فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ نَفَعَنِي وَ إِذَا تَرَكْتُهُ ضَرَّنِي قَالَ فَاصْنَعْهُ.
English translationMuhammad Sarwar
3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from ‘Abd Allah ibn Yahya al-Kahiliy who has said the following: “Once, a blind man asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), when I was there, saying, ‘I use kohl when I assume the state of Ihram.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, do not use kohl.’ He said, ‘I am blind. If I use kohl it benefits me but if I do not use, it harms me.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If that is the case then you can use kohl.’ He then said, ‘With kohl I use a certain other thing.’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘What is it?’ He said, ‘I take two pieces of cloth, fold them and place them on my eyes, then secure them in place by a strip behind my head. If I did this it benefits me; if I did not do, it harms me. He (the Imam) said, ‘If that is the case then you can do it.’”
