Reward of trimming one’s nails and moustache

2. The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم says, “One who trims his nails and moustache on Thursday or Saturday will remain safe from the pain of teeth and eyes.”

3. Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام says, “One who trims all his nails except one on Thursday and trims the remaining one on Friday, Allah would remove his poverty.”

4. It is narrated by Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said, “Trimming nails prevents serious hardships and increases one’s earnings.”

5. And from the previous chain from Muhammad b. Isa from Abi Ayoob’ al-Madaini from Abi ’Umayra from Hisham b. Salim from Abi Abdillah عليه السلام who said: “Trimming nails on Friday saves one from leprosy, leucoderma and blindness. If it is not possible to trim them, one should at least rub them on something.”

6. Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام says, “One who recites Bismillaahi wa billaahi wa a’laa millaati rasoolillaah while trimming nails and moustache on Friday would get the reward of freeing a slave from the progeny of Ismail عليه السلام for each hair and nail trimmed.”

7. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Muhammad b. al-Hassan from Salih b. ’Uqba from Abi Kahmas who said: “One of the advices of my father, may Allah’s peace be upon him, was: ‘O son! Trim your nails and moustache. Start trimming nails from the small finger of right hand and whenever you do the above two deeds, recite this supplication Bismillaahi wa billaahi wa a’laa millati rasoolillaah. O son! To one who performs this deed Allah would grant the reward of releasing a slave for each nail and hair trimmed and he will not be involved in any disease except death.”
