دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ الْحَمَّامَ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَدِ اطَّلَى وَ اطَّلَى إِبْطَيْهِ بِالنُّورَةِ قَالَ فَخَبَّرْتُ أَبَا بَصِيرٍ فَقَالَ أَرْشِدْنِي إِلَيْهِ لِأَسْأَلَهُ عَنْهُ فَقُلْتُ قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ أَنَا فَقَالَ أَنْتَ قَدْ رَأَيْتَهُ وَ أَنَا لَمْ أَرَهُ أَرْشِدْنِي إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَأَرْشَدْتُهُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ أَخْبَرَنِي قَائِدِي أَنَّكَ قَدِ اطَّلَيْتَ وَ طَلَيْتَ إِبْطَيْكَ بِالنُّورَةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ نَتْفَ الْإِبْطَيْنِ يُضْعِفُ الْبَصَرَ اطَّلِ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ اطَّلَيْتُ مُنْذُ أَيَّامٍ فَقَالَ اطَّلِ فَإِنَّهُ طَهُورٌ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza who said, ‘I entered the bathhouse along with Abu Baseer, so we looked at Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> had waxed, and he<sup>asws</sup> had waxed his<sup>asws</sup> underarms with <span class="iTxt">Al-Noura</span>. So I informed Abu Baseer, so he said, ‘Guide me to him<sup>asws</sup> to ask him<sup>asws</sup> about it’. So I said, ‘I have seen him<sup>asws</sup>’. So he said, ‘You have seen him<sup>asws</sup>, and I cannot see him<sup>asws</sup>’, (as he was blind). Guide me to him<sup>asws</sup>’. So I guided him to him<sup>asws</sup>, so he said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! My guide informed me that you<sup>asws</sup> have waxed, and waxed your<sup>asws</sup> underarms with <span class="iTxt">Al-Noura</span>’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes, O Abu Muhammad! Plucking the underarms weakens the vision. Wax, O Abu Muhammad’. So he said, ‘I have waxed a few days beforehand’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Wax, for it is cleaner’.
