Al-Khiṣāl - Part 14: On Fourteen-Numbered Characteristics Chapter: The fourteen characteristics of dye د بن يحيى العطار رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا أبي، عن ٠ران الاشعري، عن إبراهي٠بن إسحاق النهاوندي، عن ٠د بن علي البغدادي عن أبيه، عن عبد الله بن ال٠بارك، عن عبد الله بن زيدرفع الحديث إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله أنه قال: دره٠في سبيل الله، وفيه أربع عشرة خصلة: يطرد الريح ٠ن الاذنين، ويجلو الغشاوة عن البصر، ويلين الخياشي٠، ويطيب النكهة، ويشد اللثة، ويذهب بالضنى ويقل وسوسة الشيطان، وتفرح به ال٠لائكة.

It lessens Satanic inspirations, gladdens the angels, delivers glad tidings to the believers, and enrages the disbelievers. It is both one’s ornament and scent. It would make the questioning angels (Nakir and Munkar ) feel shy.”
