Hadith 242
۞
Hadith.243 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said:
'Do not recline in the bathhouse, for it melts the fat around the kidneys.
Do not comb your hair in the bathhouse, for it weakens the hair.
Do not wash your head with clay, for it disfigures the face,' and in another narration, 'it removes protective modesty (ghayrah).
Do not scrub with pottery shards (khuzfah), for it causes leprosy,
And do not wipe your face with the izar (waistcloth), for it removes the glamour of the face.
And it is narrated that this refers to the clay of Egypt and the khuzfah (pottery) of Sham."
243 - وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «لاَ تَتَّكِ فِي اَلْحَمَّامِ فَإِنَّهُ يُذِيبُ شَحْمَ اَلْكُلْيَتَيْنِ وَ لاَ تُسَرِّحْ فِي اَلْحَمَّامِ فَإِنَّهُ يُرَقِّقُ اَلشَّعْرَ وَ لاَ تَغْسِلْ رَأْسَكَ بِالطِّينِ فَإِنَّهُ يُسَمِّجُ اَلْوَجْهَ» وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ «يَذْهَبُ بِالْغَيْرَةِ وَ لاَ تَدَلَّكْ بِالْخَزَفِ فَإِنَّهُ يُورِثُ اَلْبَرَصَ وَ لاَ تَمْسَحْ وَجْهَكَ بِالْإِزَارِ فَإِنَّهُ يَذْهَبُ بِمَاءِ اَلْوَجْهِ. وَ رُوِيَ «أَنَّ ذَلِكَ طِينُ مِصْرَ وَ خَزَفُ اَلشَّامِ.
والسواك في الحمام يورث وباء الأسنان. ولا يجوز التطهير والغسل بغسالة الحمام.
