قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّا لَنُسَافِرُ وَ لَا يَكُونُ مَعَنَا نُخَالَةٌ فَنَتَدَلَّكُ بِالدَّقِيقِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ إِنَّمَا الْفَسَادُ فِيمَا أَضَرَّ بِالْبَدَنِ وَ أَتْلَفَ الْمَالَ فَأَمَّا مَا أَصْلَحَ الْبَدَنَ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِفَسَادٍ إِنِّي رُبَّمَا أَمَرْتُ غُلَامِي فَلَتَّ لِيَ النَّقِيَّ بِالزَّيْتِ فَأَتَدَلَّكُ بِهِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Aslam Al Jabaly, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Aban Bin Taglub who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘We tend to travel and there does not happen to be any bran with us, so we massage with the flour’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem. But rather, the spoiling is in what is harmful for the body, and the destruction of the wealth. So as for what is corrective for the body, so it is no with spoiling. Sometimes I<sup>asws</sup> order my<sup>asws</sup> slave, ‘Prepare for me<sup>asws</sup> the pure flour with the oil, so I<sup>asws</sup> massage with it’.
