1. Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Bandar and Muhammad ibn al-Hassan all have narrated from Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Ahmar from al-Husayn ibn Musa who has said the following: “Al-Husayn ibn Musa has said, ‘When my father, Musa ibn Ja‘far, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, wanted to take a bath, he asked to fire the bathhouse for him by three (people). He could not enter the bathhouse until the servants spread for him the felt on the floor (because of heat). When he entered the bathhouse, he sat once, then stood up once. One day when he came out of the bathhouse, he met a man from the family of al-Zubayr called Kunayd who saw the marks of henna on his hand and asked about it. He (the Imam) said, ‘This is the mark of henna.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Woe up on you, O Kunayd, (for not knowing). My father was the most knowledgeable person of his time. He narrated from his father from his grandfather who has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has stated this Hadith. “If one goes to the bathhouse, applies lime paste, then applies henna from top to his toes, it is immunity for him from insanity, leprosy, albinism and erosion caused by lime paste.’””

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) وَ قَدْ أَخَذَ الْحِنَّاءَ وَ جَعَلَهُ عَلَى أَظَافِيرِهِ فَقَالَ يَا حَكَمُ مَا تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا فَقُلْتُ مَا عَسَيْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ فِيهِ وَ أَنْتَ تَفْعَلُهُ وَ إِنَّ عِنْدَنَا يَفْعَلُهُ الشُّبَّانُ فَقَالَ يَا حَكَمُ إِنَّ الْأَظَافِيرَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهَا النُّورَةُ غَيَّرَتْهَا حَتَّى تُشْبِهَ أَظَافِيرَ الْمَوْتَى فَغَيِّرْهَا بِالْحِنَّاءِ .
2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Mu‘awiyah ibn Maysarah from al-Hakam ibn ‘Utaybah who has said the following: “Once I saw abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, who had placed henna on his finger nails and asked me, ‘O Hakam, what do you say about it? I replied, ‘I cannot say anything when you have done so. In our town young people do so.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘O Hakam, when fingers touch lime paste their color change and they look like fingers of dead people but you can change that kind of change of color with henna.’””

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا رَفَعَهُ قَالَ مَنِ اطَّلَى فَتَدَلَّكَ بِالْحِنَّاءِ مِنْ قَرْنِهِ إِلَى قَدَمِهِ نُفِيَ عَنْهُ الْفَقْرُ .

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُبْدُوسِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) وَ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْحَمَّامِ وَ هُوَ مِنْ قَرْنِهِ إِلَى قَدَمِهِ مِثْلُ الْوَرْدَةِ مِنْ أَثَرِ الْحِنَّاءِ .

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمَّادٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُوسَى قَالَ 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 .
5. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Salih ibn abu Hammad from Ibrahim ibn ‘Uqbah from Al-Husayn ibn Musa who has said the following: “Once abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, was with a man near the grave of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause. He looked at him (the Imam) and found his hands had the color of henna on them. Certain ones of the people of al-Madinah said, ‘Look at him. His hands are colored with henna.’ He (the Imam) turned to him and said, ‘In henna there is what you know as well as what you do not know.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘If one after applying lime paste rubs henna all over his body, he gains immunity from three things, namely, insanity, leprosy and albinism.’”
