دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ ( عليه السلام ) وَ فِي يَدِهِ مُشْطُ عَاجٍ يَتَمَشَّطُ بِهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ عِنْدَنَا بِالْعِرَاقِ مَنْ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَحِلُّ التَّمَشُّطُ بِالْعَاجِ قَالَ وَ لِمَ فَقَدْ كَانَ لِأَبِي ( عليه السلام ) مِنْهَا مُشْطٌ أَوْ مُشْطَانِ ثُمَّ قَالَ تَمَشَّطُوا بِالْعَاجِ فَإِنَّ الْعَاجَ يَذْهَبُ بِالْوَبَاءِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrhim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Al Husayn Bin Al Hassan Bin Aasim, from his father who said, ‘I went over to Abu Ibrahim<sup>asws</sup> (7<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>), and in his<sup>asws</sup> hand was an ivory comb to comb with. So I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! There ones with us in al-Iraq who are alleging that it is not Permissible to be combing with the ivory’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And why, for there used to be, from my<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup>, one or two ivory combs’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘You should be combing with the ivory, for the ivory removed the illness (fever)’.
