وَ رَوَى هِشَامُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ- تَقْلِيمُ الْأَظْفَارِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ يُؤْمِنُ مِنَ الْجُذَامِ وَ الْجُنُونِ وَ الْبَرَصِ وَ الْعَمَى فَإِنْ لَمْ تَحْتَجْ فَحُكَّهَا حَكّاً.

Hadith.301 - Hisham ibn Salim narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "Trimming the nails on Jumu’ah provides protection from leprosy, insanity, vitiligo, and blindness. If you do not need to trim them, then scrape or clean them."

وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَحْتَجْ فَأَمِرَّ عَلَيْهَا السِّكِّينَ أَوِ الْمِقْرَاضَ.

Hadith.302 - In another report, it is stated: "If you do not need to trim them (your nails), then pass a knife or scissors over them."

حِينَ يَأْخُذُهُ- بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ عَلَى سُنَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ لَمْ تَسْقُطْ مِنْهُ قُلَامَةٌ وَ لَا جُزَازَةٌ[5] إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ بِهَا عِتْقَ نَسَمَةٍ[6] وَ لَمْ يَمْرَضْ إِلَّا مَرَضَهُ الَّذِي يَمُوتُ فِيهِ.

وَ رُوِيَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ يُقَلِّمْ أَظَافِيرَهُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ- يَبْدَأْ بِخِنْصِرِهِ مِنَ الْيَدِ الْيُسْرَى وَ يَخْتِمْ بِخِنْصِرِهِ مِنَ الْيَدِ الْيُمْنَى.

Hadith.305 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Trimming the mustache from one Jumu’ah to the next (Jumu’ah) is protection from leprosy."

وَ قَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ[1] لِلصَّادِقِ ع‌ مَا ثَوَابُ مَنْ أَخَذَ مِنْ شَارِبِهِ وَ قَلَّمَ أَظْفَارَهُ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ قَالَ لَا يَزَالُ مُطَهَّراً إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى.

Hadith.306 - Al-Hussain ibn Abi al-'Ala asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as): 'What is the reward for someone who trims their moustache and cuts their nails every Jumu’ah?' Imam (as) replied: 'They will remain purified until the next Jumu’ah.'

لَا يُطَوِّلَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ شَارِبَهُ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَتَّخِذُهُ مِجَنّاً يَسْتَتِرُ بِهِ[2]

Hadith.307 - The Messenger of Allah (sw) said: "None of you should allow their moustache grow long, for Shaytan uses it as a shield to conceal himself”.

Hadith.309 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Whoever trims their nails on Thursday but leaves one nail to trim on Jumu’ah, Allah (swt) will remove poverty from them."

وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ لِلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يُقَالُ مَا اُسْتُنْزِلَ اَلرِّزْقُ بِشَيْءٍ مِثْلِ اَلتَّعْقِيبِ فِيمَا بَيْنَ طُلُوعِ اَلْفَجْرِ إِلَى طُلُوعِ اَلشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ «أَجَلْ وَ لَكِنْ أُخْبِرُكَ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَخْذِ اَلشَّارِبِ وَ تَقْلِيمِ اَلْأَظْفَارِ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ.

Hadith.312 - The Messenger of Allah (sw) said: "Whoever trims their nails on Saturday and Thursday and trims their mustache will be protected from toothache and eye pain."

وَ قَالَ مُوسَى بْنُ بَكْرٍ- لِلصَّادِقِ ع‌ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَنَا يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا أَخْذُ الشَّارِبِ وَ الْأَظْفَارِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خُذْهَا إِنْ شِئْتَ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ فِي سَائِرِ الْأَيَّامِ.

Hadith.313 - Musa ibn Bakr said to Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as): "Our companions say that trimming the mustache and nails is only on Jumu’ah." Imam (as) replied: "Glory be to Allah (swt)! Trim them if you wish on Jumu’ah, or if you wish, on any other day."

Hadith.316 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "A man should bury his nails and hair when he trims them, and this is a Sunnah."

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."

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”.

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."

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."
