14-2 Muhammad ibn Ali ibn ash-Shah narrated that Abu Hamid quoted Abu Yazid, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Salih al-Tamimy, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Anas ibn Muhammad Abu Malik, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (MGB), on the authority of his father (MGB), on the authority of his grandfather (MGB), on the authority of Ali ibn Abi Talib (MGB), that in his will to Ali (MGB), God’s Prophet (MGB) told him
“O Ali! It is better to spend a single Dirham for dye than to spend one-thousand Dirhams for the sake of Allah since it has fourteen characteristics. It releases the wind from the ears, it improves the sight. It softens the nasals. It scents the flavor, strengthens the gums, and eliminates weakness. It lessens Satanic inspirations, gladdens the angels, delivers glad tidings to the believers, and enrages the disbelievers. It is both one’s ornament and scent. It would make the questioning angels (Nakir and Munkar ) feel shy. That would constitute one’s innocence in the grave.”
14-2 حدثنا محمد بن علي بن الشاه قال: حدثنا أبوحامد قال: حدثنا أبويزيد قال: حدثنا محمد بن أحمد بن صالح التميمي، عن أبيه قال: حدثنا أنس بن محمد بن أبومالك، عن أبيه، عن جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن جده، عن علي ابن أبي طالب عليهم السلام عن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله
أنه قال في وصيته له: يا علي درهم في الخضاب أفضل من ألف درهم ينفق في سبيل الله، وفيه أربع عشرة خصلة: يطرد الريح من الاذنين، ويجلو البصر، ويلين الخياشيم، ويطيب النكهة، ويشد اللثة، ويذهب بالضنى، ويقل وسوسة الشيطان، وتفرح به الملائكة، ويستبشر به المؤمن، ويغيظ به الكافر، وهو زينة وطيب، ويستحيى منه منكر ونكير، وهو براءة له في قبره
