Purification

وَ رُوِيَ‌ أَنَّ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ دَفْنَ الشَّعْرِ وَ الظُّفُرِ وَ الدَّمِ.

مِنْ ذَلِكَ التَّمَشُّطُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ[2].

Hadith.318 - Abu Al-Hasan Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as) was asked about the saying of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Glorious: 'Take your adornment at every place of worship.' (Surah Al-A’raf 7:31). Imam (as) said: "Part of that includes combing one's hair before every prayer”.

مَشْطُ الرَّأْسِ يَذْهَبُ بِالْوَبَاءِ وَ مَشْطُ اللِّحْيَةِ يَشُدُّ الْأَضْرَاسَ

Hadith.319 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Combing the hair removes ailments, and combing the beard strengthens the teeth."

إِذَا سَرَّحْتَ لِحْيَتَكَ وَ رَأْسَكَ فَأَمِرَّ الْمُشْطَ عَلَى صَدْرِكَ فَإِنَّهُ يَذْهَبُ بِالْهَمِّ وَ الْوَنَا[3]

Hadith.320 - Abu Al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as) said: "When you comb your beard and head, pass the comb over your chest as well, for it removes worry and lethargy”.

مَنْ سَرَّحَ لِحْيَتَهُ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً وَ عَدَّهَا مَرَّةً مَرَّةً لَمْ يَقْرَبْهُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً. وَ لَا بَأْسَ بِأَمْشَاطِ الْعَاجِ وَ الْمَكَاحِلِ وَ الْمَدَاهِنِ[4]

Hadith.321 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Whoever combs their beard seventy times and counts it one by one will not be approached by Shaytan (Satan) for forty days."

وَ قَالَ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ع- تَمَشَّطُوا بِالْعَاجِ فَإِنَّهُ يَذْهَبُ بِالْوَبَاءِ.

Hadith.322 - Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as) said: "Comb your hair with combs made of ivory, for it removes ailments."

الْمَشْطُ[1] يَذْهَبُ بِالْوَبَاءِ. وَ هُوَ الْحُمَّى وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِيِ يَذْهَبُ بِالْوَنَا. وَ هُوَ الضَّعْفُ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- وَ لا تَنِيا فِي ذِكْرِي أَيْ لَا تَضْعُفَا

Hadith.323 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Combing the hair removes ailments," referring specifically to fever. In a narration by Ahmad ibn Abi Abdullah al-Barqi, it is stated: 'It removes fatigue,' meaning weakness. Allah (swt), the Exalted, said: 'And do not slacken in My remembrance,' (Surah Taha 20:4

ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ عَرَفَهُنَّ لَمْ يَدَعْهُنَّ جَزُّ الشَّعْرِ وَ تَشْمِيرُ الثَّوْبِ وَ نِكَاحُ الْإِمَاءِ

Hadith.324 - Abu al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as) said: "There are three things which, if a person understands them, they will not abandon: trimming the hair, shortening the garment, and marrying bondwomen."

لِبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ اسْتَأْصِلْ شَعْرَكَ يَقِلُّ دَرَنُهُ وَ دَوَابُّهُ وَ وَسَخُهُ[2] وَ تَغْلُظُ رَقَبَتُكَ وَ يَجْلُو بَصَرَكَ وَ يَسْتَرِيحُ بَدَنُكَ

Hadith.325 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said to some of his companions: "Cut your hair short to reduce its dirt, pests, and grime; it will strengthen your neck, improve your eyesight, and provide relief for your body."

مَنِ اتَّخَذَ شَعْراً فَلْيُحْسِنْ وِلَايَتَهُ أَوْ لِيَجُزَّهُ

Hadith.326 - The Messenger of Allah (sw) said: "Whoever grows their hair should take good care of it or cut it short."

وَ قَالَ ع‌ الشَّعْرُ الْحَسَنُ مِنْ كِسْوَةِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَأَكْرِمُوهُ.

Hadith.327 - He (as) said: "Beautiful hair is part of Allah’s (swt) provision, so honor it."

مَنِ اتَّخَذَ شَعْراً فَلَمْ يَفْرُقْهُ فَرَقَهُ اللَّهُ بِمِنْشَارٍ مِنْ نَارٍ[3]. وَ كَانَ شَعْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَفْرَةً لَمْ يَبْلُغِ الْفَرْقَ[4]

Hadith.328 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Whoever grows their hair and does not part it, Allah (swt) will part it with a saw of fire."

Hadith.329 - The Messenger of Allah (sw) said: "Trim your mustaches and let your beards grow, and do not resemble the Jews."

وَ نَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى رَجُلٍ طَوِيلِ اللِّحْيَةِ فَقَالَ مَا كَانَ هَذَا لَوْ هَيَّأَ مِنْ لِحْيَتِهِ‌[1] فَبَلَغَ الرَّجُلَ ذَلِكَ فَهَيَّأَ مِنْ لِحْيَتِهِ بَيْنَ اللِّحْيَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَلَمَّا رَآهُ قَالَ هَكَذَا فَافْعَلُوا.

Hadith.330 - "The Messenger of Allah (sw) once saw (looked) a man with a long beard, and said: "It would have been better if he had trimmed his beard. When the man heard this, he trimmed his beard to a moderate length. Then entered to see the Prophet. When the Prophet saw him, He (sw) said: "This is how you should do i

إِنَّ الْمَجُوسَ جَزُّوا لِحَاهُمْ وَ وَفَّرُوا شَوَارِبَهُمْ وَ إِنَّا نَجُزُّ الشَّوَارِبَ وَ نُعْفِي اللِّحَى وَ هِيَ الْفِطْرَةُ

Hadith.331 - The Messenger of Allah (sw) said: "The Magians (Zoroastrians) trim their beards and let their mustaches grow long, but we trim the mustaches and let the beards grow, and this is the natural disposition (fitrah)."

مَا زَادَ مِنَ اللِّحْيَةِ عَنْ قَبْضَةٍ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ

Hadith.332 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Whatever extends beyond a fist-length of the beard is in the Fire."

وَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ‌ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ الْبَاقِرَ ع- وَ الْحَجَّامُ يَأْخُذُ مِنْ لِحْيَتِهِ فَقَالَ دَوِّرْهَا.

Hadith.333 - Muhammad ibn Muslim said: "I saw Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) while the barber was trimming his beard, and Imam (as) said: 'Shape it evenly.'

Hadith.334 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Hold your beard with your hand (in a fist) and trim what is excess."

الشَّيْبُ فِي مُقَدَّمِ الرَّأْسِ يُمْنٌ وَ فِي الْعَارِضَيْنِ سَخَاءٌ وَ فِي الذَّوَائِبِ شَجَاعَةٌ وَ فِي الْقَفَا شُؤْمٌ

Hadith.335 - The Messenger of Allah (sw) said: "Gray hair at the front of the head is a sign of blessing, at the temples is a sign of generosity, at the hair ends is a sign of courage, and at the nape of the neck is a sign of ill-omen."

أَوَّلُ مَنْ شَابَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْخَلِيلُ ع وَ إِنَّهُ ثَنَى لِحْيَتَهُ فَرَأَى طَاقَةً بَيْضَاءَ فَقَالَ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ مَا هَذَا فَقَالَ هَذَا وَقَارٌ فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ اللَّهُمَّ زِدْنِي وَقَاراً

وَ قَالَ ع‌ مَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ كَانَتْ لَهُ نُوراً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.

«وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لاَ يَرَى بِجَزِّ اَلشَّيْبِ بَأْساً وَ يَكْرَهُ نَتْفَهُ.

Hadith.339 - "It is reported that Imam Ali (as) saw no harm in cutting gray hair but disliked plucking it."

Hadith.340 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) says: "There is no harm in cutting gray hair or plucking it, but cutting it is more beloved to me than plucking it."

أَرْبَعٌ مِنْ أَخْلَاقِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ ع التَّطَيُّبُ وَ التَّنْظِيفُ بِالْمُوسَى وَ حَلْقُ الْجَسَدِ بِالنُّورَةِ وَ كَثْرَةُ الطَّرُوقَةِ

Hadith.342 - Imam (as) said: "Trim your nails on Tuesday, bathe on Wednesday, fulfil your need for cupping (hijama) on Thursday, and use your best fragrance on Jumu’ah."

وَ سُئِلَ الصَّادِقُ ع‌ لِأَيِّ عِلَّةٍ يُغْسَلُ الْمَيِّتُ قَالَ تَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ النُّطْفَةُ الَّتِي خُلِقَ مِنْهَا تَخْرُجُ مِنْ عَيْنَيْهِ أَوْ مِنْ فِيهِ وَ مَا يَخْرُجُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَرَى مَكَانَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ أَوْ مِنَ النَّارِ.

Hadith.375 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked: "For what reason is the deceased washed (given ghusl)?" Imam (as) said: "The drop that he was created from, exits from their eyes or their mouth, and no one leaves this world until they see their place in either Paradise or the Fire."

كَانَ فِيمَا نَاجَى بِهِ- مُوسَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ ع رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ مَا بَلَغَ مِنْ عِيَادَةِ الْمَرِيضِ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ قَالَ أُوَكِّلُ بِهِ مَلَكاً يَعُودُهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ إِلَى مَحْشَرِهِ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ فَمَا لِمَنْ غَسَلَ الْمَوْتَى قَالَ أَغْسِلُهُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ- كَيَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ[1]

وَ قَالَ ع- مَنْ غَسَّلَ مَيِّتاً مُؤْمِناً فَأَدَّى فِيهِ الْأَمَانَةَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ قِيلَ وَ كَيْفَ يُؤَدِّي فِيهِ الْأَمَانَةَ قَالَ لَا يُخْبِرُ بِمَا يَرَاهُ وَ حَدُّهُ‌[2] إِلَى أَنْ يُدْفَنَ الْمَيِّتُ.

Hadith.388 - The Imam (as) said: "Whoever washes a deceased believer and fulfils the trust in that act, Allah (swt) will forgive them." It was asked: "How does one fulfil the trust in this matter?"

أَيُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ غَسَّلَ مُؤْمِناً فَقَالَ إِذَا قَلَّبَهُ- اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا بَدَنُ عَبْدِكَ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَ قَدْ أَخْرَجْتَ رُوحَهُ مِنْهُ وَ فَرَّقْتَ بَيْنَهُمَا فَعَفْوَكَ عَفْوَكَ عَفْوَكَ[3]- إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللَّهُ ذُنُوبَ سَنَةٍ إِلَّا الْكَبَائِرَ
