Al-Kafi 7294

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Abdullah Bin Yahya Al Kahily, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws, said, ‘A man of impaired vision asked him^asws, and I was present, so he said, ‘Can I apply Kohl when I wear <span class="iTxt">Ihraam</span>?’ He^asws said: ‘No, and why would you apply Kohl?’ He said, ‘I am of impaired vision. So when I apply Kohl, it benefits me, and when I do not apply Kohl, it harms me’. He^asws said: ‘So apply Kohl’. He said, ‘Supposing if I was to make something else to be along with the Kohl?’ He^asws said: ‘What would it be?’ He said, ‘I take to rags and I fold them, so I make one rag to be upon each eye, and I tie these upon with a strip to the back of my head. So when I do so, that benefits me, and when I neglect it, it harms me’. He^asws said: ‘So do it’.
