15. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from his father from Zurayq ibn al-Zubayr from Sadir who has said the following
“I once heard Ali ibn al-Husayn, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, saying, ‘When applying lime paste one should say, “O Lord, make pleasant what it has cleansed of me and cleanse what it has made pleasant of me. Replace it with clean hairs, which will not disobey You. O Lord, I have cleansed and sought to follow the Sunnah of the messengers, Your pleasure and forgiveness so make my hairs unlawful to the fire as well as my skin. O Lord, cleanse my body, my moral feelings, purify my acts and make me of those who meet You as a follower of the magnanimous religion of Ibrahim Your friend. Make me to meet You as a follower of the religion of Muhammad (SAW), your beloved one, Your messenger. (O Lord), make me to abide by Your laws, subordinate to the Sunnah of Your prophet, accept it to find discipline by its disciplines and the discipline of Your friends whom You have fed with Your discipline, planted wisdom in their chest and have made them the mines of Your knowledge. Please grant them favors.’” If one says the above Allah cleanses him from filth of the world and from sins and replaces his hairs with hairs, which will not disobey Allah. He will create with every hair of his body an angel who will say Tasbih (Allah is free of all defects) for him until the Day of Judgment. One Tasbih (Allah is free of all defects) of this angel is equal to one thousand Tasbih (Allah is free of all defects) of the inhabitants of earth.’”
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ زُرَيْقِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ سَدِيرٍ
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ مَنْ قَالَ إِذَا اطَّلَى بِالنُّورَةِ اللَّهُمَّ طَيِّبْ مَا طَهُرَ مِنِّي وَ طَهِّرْ مَا طَابَ مِنِّي وَ أَبْدِلْنِي شَعْراً طَاهِراً لَا يَعْصِيكَاللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي تَطَهَّرْتُ ابْتِغَاءَ سُنَّةِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ ابْتِغَاءَ رِضْوَانِكَ وَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ فَحَرِّمْ شَعْرِي وَ بَشَرِي عَلَى النَّارِ وَ طَهِّرْ خَلْقِي وَ طَيِّبْ خُلُقِي وَ زَكِّ عَمَلِي وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ يَلْقَاكَ عَلَى الْحَنِيفِيَّةِ السَّمْحَةِ مِلَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلِكَ وَ دِينِ مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) حَبِيبِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ عَامِلًا بِشَرَائِعِكَ تَابِعاً لِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) آخِذاً بِهِ مُتَأَدِّباً بِحُسْنِ تَأْدِيبِكَ وَ تَأْدِيبِ رَسُولِكَ وَ تَأْدِيبِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ الَّذِينَ غَذَوْتَهُمْ بِأَدَبِكَ وَ زَرَعْتَ الْحِكْمَةَ فِي صُدُورِهِمْ وَ جَعَلْتَهُمْ مَعَادِنَ لِعِلْمِكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِمْمَنْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ طَهَّرَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْأَدْنَاسِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ أَبْدَلَهُ شَعْراً لَا يَعْصِي اللَّهَ وَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ مَلَكاً يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ وَ إِنَّ تَسْبِيحَةً مِنْ تَسْبِيحِهِمْ تَعْدِلُ بِأَلْفِ تَسْبِيحَةٍ مِنْ تَسْبِيحِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ .
