3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from certain persons of our people in a marfu ‘ manner has said the following
“He (the Imam) (a.s.), has said, ‘If one applies lime paste then rubs henna from his top to his toes, his poverty goes away.’”
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 .
