Hadith 1107

Narrated Umm Salamah (RA): I put Sabir (a type of medicine) on my eyes after Abu Salamah (RA) had died. So Allah's Messenger (SAW) said, "It gives the face a glow, so apply it only at night and remove it in the day time, and do not comb (your hair) with scent or henna, for it is a dye." I asked, "What should I use when combing (my hair)?" He replied, "You should use lote-tree leaves." [Reported by Abu Dawud and an-Nasa'i: its chain of narrators is Hasan (good)].

وَعَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: { جَعَلْتُ عَلَى عَيْنِي صَبْرًا, بَعْدَ أَنْ تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ, فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-"إِنَّهُ يَشِبُ اَلْوَجْهَ, فَلَا تَجْعَلِيهِ إِلَّا بِاللَّيْلِ, وَانْزِعِيهِ بِالنَّهَارِ, وَلَا تَمْتَشِطِي بِالطِّيبِ, وَلَا بِالْحِنَّاءِ, فَإِنَّهُ خِضَابٌ".‏ قُلْتُ: بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ أَمْتَشِطُ? قَالَ: "بِالسِّدْرِ".‏ } رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ, وَالنَّسَائِيُّ, وَإِسْنَادُهُ حَسَنٌ <sup>1</sup>‏ .‏
