دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ قَدِ اخْتَضَبَ بِالسَّوَادِ فَقُلْتُ أَرَاكَ قَدِ اخْتَضَبْتَ بِالسَّوَادِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ فِي الْخِضَابِ أَجْراً وَ الْخِضَابُ وَ التَّهْيِئَةُ مِمَّا يَزِيدُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي عِفَّةِ النِّسَاءِ وَ لَقَدْ تَرَكَ النِّسَاءُ الْعِفَّةَ بِتَرْكِ أَزْوَاجِهِنَّ لَهُنَّ التَّهْيِئَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ الْحِنَّاءَ يَزِيدُ فِي الشَّيْبِ قَالَ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ يَزِيدُ فِي الشَّيْبِ الشَّيْبُ يَزِيدُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Al Hassan Bin Al Jaham who said, ‘I went over to Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> and he<sup>asws</sup> had dyed (hair) with the black. So I said, ‘I see you<sup>asws</sup> have dyed (hair) with the black’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And in the dyeing there is Recompense, and the dye and the henna are from what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Increases in the chastity of the women, and the women have neglected the chastity due to the neglecting of the henna by their husbands’. I said, ‘It has reached us that henna tends to increase in the greying?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Which thing increase in the greying? The greying increases during every day’.
