5-3 Isma’il ibn Mansoor ibn Ahmad al-Qisar in Furqani narrated that Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn al-Hassan ibn Ja’far ibn al-Hassan ibn al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib (MGB) quoted Ahmad ibn Ali al-Ansari Abu Ali, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid al-Barqy, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Faz’zal, on the authority of Sa’alabat ibn Maymun, on the authority of Abdul Rahman ibn al-Haj’jaj, on the authority of Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) regarding the following words of the Honorable the Exalted God, ‘O Children of Adam! Wear your beautiful apparel at every time and place ofprayer: eat and drink: But waste not by excess, for Allah loveth not the wasters.’ He said, ‘
Combing attracts the daily sustenance; it improves the hair; it fulfills the needs; it increases the amount of semen; and it reduces the phlegm.’ He continued, ‘God’s Prophet (MGB) combed his beard forty times upwards and seven times downwards and said, ‘This will improve the mind and stop the phlegm.’”
5-3 حدثنا إسماعيل بن منصور بن أحمد القصار بفرغانة، قال: حدثنا أبوعبد الله محمد بن القاسم بن محمد بن عبد الله بن الحسن بن جعفر بن الحسن بن الحسن بن علي بن أبي طالب عليهما السلام قال: حدثنا أحمد بن علي الانصاري أبوعلي قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن خالد البرقي قال: حدثنا الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن ثعلبة بن ميمون، عن عبدالرحمن ابن حجاج، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام في قول الله عز وجل "... خُذُوا زِينَتَكُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ..." قال
الـمشط [فإن المشط]يجلب الرزق، ويحسن الشعر، وينجز الحاجة، ويزيد في ماء الصلب، ويقطع البلغم، وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله يسرح تحت لحيته أربعين مرة، ومن فوقها سبع مرات، ويقول: إنه يزيد في الذهن، ويقطع البلغم
