The Ritual Bath of Jumu’ah, Entering the Bathhouse, Its Etiquette, and Teachings on Cleanliness and Beautification

262. hadíth

وَ كَانَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَطْلِي إِبْطَيْهِ فِي اَلْحَمَّامِ وَ يَقُولُ «نَتْفُ اَلْإِبْطِ يُضْعِفُ اَلْمَنْكِبَيْنِ وَ يُوهِي وَ يُضْعِفُ اَلْبَصَرَ.

And Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) would rub Nuura (depilatory paste) to his armpits in the bathhouse and say: 'Plucking the armpit hair weakens the shoulders and diminishes (weakens) the eyesight.'"
