قَالَ وَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص النِّسَاءَ بِالْخِضَابِ ذَاتَ الْبَعْلِ وَ غَيْرَ ذَاتِ الْبَعْلِ أَمَّا ذَاتُ الْبَعْلِ فَتَزَيَّنُ لِزَوْجِهَا وَ أَمَّا غَيْرُ ذَاتِ الْبَعْلِ فَلَا تُشْبِهُ يَدُهَا يَدَ الرِّجَالِ. He -asws said: ‘And Rasool-Allah -saww instructed the women with the husband with the dyeing.
As for the one with a husband, she should adorn for her husband, and as for the one without a husband, she should not resemble her hand with the hand of the men (by letting her hair grow)’’. [8] عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: تَخْتَضِبُ النُّفَسَاءُ. From Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘The one in post-childbirth should dye’’. [9] عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنِ الْقَنَازِعِ وَ الْقُصَصِ وَ نَقْشِ الْخِضَابِ.

[10] عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَ أَبِي وَ جَدِّي وَ عَمِّي حَمَّامَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ فِي الْمَسْلَخِ فَقَالَ مِمَّنِ الْقَوْمُ فَقُلْنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ قَالَ مِنْ أَيِّ الْعِرَاقِ فَقُلْنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ From Hanan Bin Sadeyr, from his father who said, ‘I, and my father, and my grandfather, and my paternal uncle entered a bathhouse of Al‑Medina. There was a man in the changing room.
He said, ‘From whom is the group?’ We said, ‘From people of Al-Iraq’. He said, From Which Al-Iraq?’ We said from the people of Al-Kufa’. قَالَ مَرْحَباً وَ أَهْلًا يَا أَهْلَ الْكُوفَةِ أَنْتُمُ الشِّعَارُ دُونَ الدِّثَارِ He said, ‘Hello and welcome, O people of Al-Kufa! You are the slogan without the cloak’. ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا يَمْنَعُكُمْ مِنَ الْإِزَارِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ عَوْرَةُ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ حَرَامٌ Then he said, ‘What prevents you from (wearing) the trouser?
Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘Nakedness of the Muslim is prohibited unto the Muslim’’. قَالَ فَبَعَثَ عَمِّي إِلَى كِرْبَاسَةٍ فَشَقَّهَا بِأَرْبَعَةٍ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا وَاحِدَةً فَلَمَّا خَرَجْنَا مِنَ الْحَمَّامِ سَأَلْنَا عَنِ الشَّيْخِ فَإِذَا هُوَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ ابْنُهُ مُحَمَّدٌ الْبَاقِرُ ع مَعَهُ. He (the narrator) said, ‘My paternal uncle sent for four thick pieces of cotton, then each one of us took one.
