Hadith 78
3. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) says, “Spending a dirham for dye is equal to spending a hundred dirhams in the way of Allah. There are fourteen benefits of applying dye – it stops air from ears, improves eyesight, softens the root of nose, mouth smells good, jaws become strong, removes the odor of armpits, evil thoughts lessen, angels become happy, it is a cause of glad-tidings for a believer and suffering for a disbeliever, it is the cause of beauty, fragrance and avoidance of the hardships of grave and Munkir and Nakir would shy due to dye.”
حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ الْبَغْدَادِیِّ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَکِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَیْدٍ رَفَعَ الْحَدِیثَ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص دِرْهَمٌ فِی الْخِضَابِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ نَفَقَهِ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ فِی سَبِیلِ اللَّهِ وَ فِیهِ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَهَ خَصْلَهً یَطْرُدُ الرِّیحَ مِنَ الْأُذُنَیْنِ وَ یَجْلُو الْغِشَاوَهَ مِنَ الْبَصَرِ وَ یُلَیِّنُ الْخَیَاشِیمَ وَ یُطَیِّبُ النَّکْهَهَ وَ یَشُدُّ اللِّثَهَ وَ یُذْهِبُ الصُّنَانَ وَ یُقِلُّ وَسْوَسَهَ الشَّیْطَانِ وَ تَفْرَحُ بِهِ الْمَلَائِکَهُ وَ یَسْتَبْشِرُ بِهِ الْمُؤْمِنُ وَ یَغِیظُ بِهِ الْکَافِرَ وَ هِیَ زِینَهٌ وَ طِیبٌ وَ بَرَاءَهٌ لَهُ فِی قَبْرِهِ وَ یَسْتَحْیِی مِنْهُ مُنْکَرٌ وَ نَکِیرٌ.

“One who applies henna from head to toe after using Noorah (depilatory made of lime) his poverty would end.”
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ الصُّوفِیِّ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ أَبِی الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عُبْدُوسِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ الْبَغْدَادِیِّ رَفَعَ الْحَدِیثَ إِلَی أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ
الْحِنَّاءُ یَذْهَبُ بِالسَّهَکِ وَ یَزِیدُ فِی مَاءِ الْوَجْهِ وَ یُطَیِّبُ النَّکْهَهَ وَ یُحَسِّنُ الْوَلَدَ وَ قَالَ مَنِ اطَّلَی فَتَدَلَّکَ بِالْحِنَّاءِ مِنْ قَرْنِهِ إِلَی قَدَمِهِ نُفِیَ عَنْهُ الْفَقْرُ.

6. It is narrated from Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) that the
Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who applies Noorah and dyes his body with henna Allah would keep him away from three things till he applies them again. Those three things are diseases like leprosy, leucoderma and scabies.”

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع یَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنِ اطَّلَی وَ اخْتَضَبَ بِالْحِنَّاءِ آمَنَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ ثَلَاثِ خِصَالٍ الْجُذَامِ وَ الْبَرَصِ وَ الْآکِلَهِ إِلَی طَلْیَهٍ مِثْلِهَا.
