سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ ص يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‌ اخْتَضِبُوا بِالْحِنَّاءِ فَإِنَّهُ يَجْلُو الْبَصَرَ وَ يُنْبِتُ الشَّعْرَ وَ يُطَيِّبُ الرِّيحَ وَ يُسَكِّنُ الزَّوْجَةَ.

“I once heard Ali ibn al-Husayn, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, saying that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Apply hair dye with henna, it increases eyesight, grows hair, sweetens the smell and comforts the wife.’”

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع إِنَّ لِي فَتَاةً قَدِ ارْتَفَعَتْ عِلَّتُهَا فَقَالَ اخْضِبْ رَأْسَهَا بِالْحِنَّاءِ فَإِنَّ الْحَيْضَ سَيَعُودُ إِلَيْهَا قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَعَادَ إِلَيْهَا الْحَيْضُ.

‘Apply hair dye to her head with henna; her Hayd (menses) will return.’ He (the narrator) has said, ‘She followed the instruction and her Hayd (menses) came back.’”
