كَانَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) مَعَ رَجُلٍ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ وَ قَدْ أَخَذَ الْحِنَّاءَ مِنْ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَ مَا تَرَوْنَ إِلَى هَذَا كَيْفَ أَخَذَ الْحِنَّاءَ مِنْ يَدَيْهِ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ فِيهِ مَا تَخْبُرُهُ وَ مَا لَا تَخْبُرُهُ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ مَنْ أَخَذَ مِنَ الْحِنَّاءِ بَعْدَ فَرَاغِهِ مِنِ اطِّلَاءِ النُّورَةِ مِنْ قَرْنِهِ إِلَى قَدَمِهِ أَمِنَ مِنَ الْأَدْوَاءِ الثَّلَاثَةِ الْجُنُونِ وَ الْجُذَامِ وَ الْبَرَصِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad, form Salih Bin Abu Hammad, from Ibrahim Bin Uqba, from Al Husayn Bin Musa who said, ‘Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> was with a man in the presence of the grave of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, so he looked at him<sup>asws</sup> and he<sup>asws</sup> had applied henna upon his<sup>asws</sup> hands. So one of the people of Al-Medina said, ‘Are you not looking at this one how he<sup>asws</sup> has applied the henna upon his<sup>asws</sup> hands?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> turned towards him and said to him: ‘In it is what you are informed of and what you are not informed of’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> turned towards me, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The one who takes from the henna after him having been freed from the waxing of the <span class="iTxt">Noura</span>, from his head to his feet, is safe from three illnesses – the insanity, and the leprosy, and the vitiligo’.
