8. Ali ibn Ibrahim narrated from his father, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Ibrahim ibn Abdul-Hamid, from Abu al-Hasan (a.s.), who said
"Do not use a basil twig or a pomegranate branch as a toothpick, for they both can stimulate the nerve of leprosy."
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ
لَا تَخَلَّلُوا بِعُودِ الرَّيْحَانِ وَ لَا بِقَضِيبِ الرُّمَّانِ فَإِنَّهُمَا يُهَيِّجَانِ عِرْقَ الْجُذَامِ .
