Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh

وَ رَوَى هِشَامُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ - «تَقْلِيمُ اَلْأَظْفَارِ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ يُؤْمِنُ مِنَ اَلْجُذَامِ وَ اَلْجُنُونِ وَ اَلْبَرَصِ وَ اَلْعَمَى فَإِنْ لَمْ تَحْتَجْ فَحُكَّهَا حَكّاً.

Hisham ibn Salim narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) that He said: "Trimming the nails on Jumu’ah provides protection from leprosy, insanity, vitiligo, and blindness. If you do not need to trim them, then scrape or clean them."

وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ: «فَإِنْ لَمْ تَحْتَجْ فَأَمِرَّ عَلَيْهَا اَلسِّكِّينَ أَوِ اَلْمِقْرَاضَ.

In another report, it is stated: "If you do not need to trim them (your nails), then pass a knife or scissors over them."

وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَلرَّحِيمِ اَلْقَصِيرُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ - «مَنْ أَخَذَ مِنْ أَظْفَارِهِ وَ شَارِبِهِ كُلَّ جُمُعَةٍ وَقَالَ حِينَ يَأْخُذُهُ: بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ عَلَى سُنَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ لَمْ تَسْقُطْ مِنْهُ قُلاَمَةٌ وَ لاَ جُزَازَةٌ إِلاَّ كَتَبَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ بِهَا عِتْقَ نَسَمَةٍ وَ لَمْ يَمْرَضْ إِلاَّ مَرَضَهُ اَلَّذِي يَمُوتُ فِيهِ.

Abd al-Rahim al-Qasir narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s), that He said: "Whoever trims their nails and mustache every Jumu’ah and says while doing so: Bismillāhi wa billāhi wa ‘alā sunnati Muḥammad wa āli Muḥammad ṣalawātu Allāhi ‘alayhim In the name of Allah (swt), and by Allah (swt), and upon the Sunnah of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, may the blessings of Allah (swt) be upon them,' That no nail or hair clipping will fall except that Allah (swt), the Mighty and Glorious, will record it as freeing a soul, and such a person will not become ill except for the illness that causes their death."

وَ رُوِيَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ: «أَنَّهُ مَنْ يُقَلِّمْ أَظَافِيرَهُ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ ' يَبْدَأْ بِخِنْصِرِهِ مِنَ اَلْيَدِ اَلْيُسْرَى وَ يَخْتِمْ بِخِنْصِرِهِ مِنَ اَلْيَدِ اَلْيُمْنَى.

It is also reported in another narration: "Whoever trims their nails on Jumu’ah should start with the little finger of the left hand and finish with the little finger of the right hand."

وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «أَخْذُ اَلشَّارِبِ مِنَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى اَلْجُمُعَةِ أَمَانٌ مِنَ اَلْجُذَامِ.

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) said: "Trimming the mustache from one Jumu’ah to the next (Jumu’ah) is protection from leprosy."

وَقَالَ اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَبِي اَلْعَلاَءِ لِلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: مَا ثَوَابُ مَنْ أَخَذَ مِنْ شَارِبِهِ وَ قَلَّمَ أَظْفَارَهُ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ قَالَ «لاَ يَزَالُ مُطَهَّراً إِلَى اَلْجُمُعَةِ اَلْأُخْرَى.

Al-Hussain ibn Abi al-'Ala asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s): 'What is the reward for someone who trims their moustache and cuts their nails every Jumu’ah?' Imam (a.s) replied: 'They will remain purified until the next Jumu’ah.'

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: «لاَ يُطَوِّلَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ شَارِبَهُ فَإِنَّ اَلشَّيْطَانَ يَتَّخِذُهُ مِجَنّاً يَسْتَتِرُ بِهِ.

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: "None of you should allow their moustache grow long, for Shaytan uses it as a shield to conceal himself”.

وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَنْ قَلَّمَ أَظْفَارَهُ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ ' لَمْ تَشْعَثْ أَنَامِلُهُ.

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) said: "Whoever trims their nails on Jumu’ah will not have disheveled fingertips."

وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَنْ قَصَّ أَظْفَارَهُ يَوْمَ اَلْخَمِيسِ وَ تَرَكَ وَاحِداً لِيَوْمِ اَلْجُمُعَةِ نَفَى اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ اَلْفَقْرَ.

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) said: "Whoever trims their nails on Thursday but leaves one nail to trim on Jumu’ah, Allah (swt) will remove poverty from them."

وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ لِلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يُقَالُ مَا اُسْتُنْزِلَ اَلرِّزْقُ بِشَيْءٍ مِثْلِ اَلتَّعْقِيبِ فِيمَا بَيْنَ طُلُوعِ اَلْفَجْرِ إِلَى طُلُوعِ اَلشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ «أَجَلْ وَ لَكِنْ أُخْبِرُكَ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَخْذِ اَلشَّارِبِ وَ تَقْلِيمِ اَلْأَظْفَارِ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ.

Abdullah ibn Abi Ya'fur said to Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s): "May I be your ransom. It is said that no act brings down sustenance like ta'qeeb (supplications and prayers) between the dawn and sunrise." Imam (a.s) replied: "Indeed, but I will tell you something even better than that: trimming the mustache and cutting the nails on Jumu’ah."
