5ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَخِيهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْخَالِقِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ أَخْذُ الشَّارِبِ وَالأظْفَارِ وَغَسْلُ الرَّأْسِ بِالْخِطْمِيِّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ يَنْفِي الْفَقْرَ وَيَزِيدُ فِي الرِّزْقِ.
5. Ali has narrated from his brother from ’Isma‘il ibn ‘Abd al-Khaliq from Muhammad ibn Talhah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘Trimming one’s mustache, fingernails and applying al- Khatmi (officinal or marshmallow) to one’s head on Friday removes one’s poverty and increases one’s sustenance.’”
