رَآنِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) بِخُرَاسَانَ وَ أَنَا أَشْتَكِي عَيْنِي فَقَالَ أَ لَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ إِنْ فَعَلْتَهُ لَمْ تَشْتَكِ عَيْنَكَ فَقُلْتُ بَلَى فَقَالَ خُذْ مِنْ أَظْفَارِكَ فِي كُلِّ خَمِيسٍ قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ فَمَا اشْتَكَيْتُ عَيْنِي إِلَى يَوْمَ أَخْبَرْتُكَ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Khalaf who said, ‘Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> saw me at Khurasan and I complained about my eyes. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Shall I<sup>asws</sup> point you upon something that if you were to do it, you would not complain of your eyes?’ So I said, ‘Yes’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Take from your nails during every Thursday’. So I did it, and I did not complain about my eyes up to the day that I am informing you’.
