سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ التَّدَلُّكِ بِالدَّقِيقِ بَعْدَ النُّورَةِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ قُلْتُ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ إِسْرَافٌ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ فِيمَا أَصْلَحَ الْبَدَنَ إِسْرَافٌ إِنِّي رُبَّمَا أَمَرْتُ بِالنَّقِيِّ فَيُلَتُّ لِي بِالزَّيْتِ فَأَتَدَلَّكُ بِهِ إِنَّمَا الْإِسْرَافُ فِيمَا أَتْلَفَ الْمَالَ وَ أَضَرَّ بِالْبَدَنِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Usman Bin Isa, from Is’haq Bin Abdul Aziz who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> was asked about the massaging with the flour (mixed with oil) after <span class="iTxt">Al-Noura</span>, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem’. I said, ‘They (people) are alleging that it is an extravagance’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no extravagance in the correction (well-being) of the body. Sometimes I order with the pure (flour), so it is mixed for me<sup>asws</sup> with the oil, so I massage with it. But rather, the extravagance is in what is destruction of the wealth and harmful for the body’.
