7. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Muhammad b. al-Hassan from Salih b. ’Uqba from Abi Kahmas who said
“One of the advices of my father, may Allah’s peace be upon him, was: ‘O son! Trim your nails and moustache. Start trimming nails from the small finger of right hand and whenever you do the above two deeds, recite this supplication Bismillaahi wa billaahi wa a’laa millati rasoolillaah. O son! To one who performs this deed Allah would grant the reward of releasing a slave for each nail and hair trimmed and he will not be involved in any disease except death.”
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَهَ عَنْ أَبِی کَهْمَسٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَلِّمْنِی دُعَاءً أَسْتَنْزِلُ بِهِ الرِّزْقَ فَقَالَ لِی خُذْ مِنْ شَارِبِکَ وَ أَظْفَارِکَ وَ لْیَکُنْ ذَلِکَ فِی یَوْمِ الْجُمُعَهِ. قال محمد بن علی مؤلف هذا الکتاب قال أبی رض فی وصیه إلی قلم أظفارک و خذ من شاربک و ابدأ بخنصرک من یدک الیمنی و قل حین ترید تقلمها أو جز شاربک بسم الله و بالله و علی مله رسول الله ص فإنه من فعل ذلک کتب الله له بکل قلامه و جزازه عتق نسمه و لم یمرض إلا مرضه الذی یموت فیه.
