4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Fadl al-Flashimiy from his father and uncle who have said the following
“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘Applying eye powder with Athmad (antimony) sweetens the fragrance and strengthens the edge of the eyelid.’”
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ الْهَاشِمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ عَمِّهِ قَالَا قَالَ
أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) الِاكْتِحَالُ بِالْإِثْمِدِ يُطَيِّبُ النَّكْهَةَ وَ يَشُدُّ أَشْفَارَ الْعَيْنِ .
