إِنَّمَا قُصَّ الْأَظْفَارُ لِأَنَّهَا مَقِيلُ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ مِنْهُ يَكُونُ النِّسْيَانُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, from the one who mentioned it, from Ayoub Bin Al Hurr, from Abu Hama, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘But rather, clip the nails because these are a resting-place for the Satan<sup>la</sup>, and from it happens the forgetfulness’.
