وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «يَنْبَغِي لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَتَوَقَّى اَلنُّورَةَ يَوْمَ اَلْأَرْبِعَاءِ ' فَإِنَّهُ يَوْمُ نَحْسٍ مُسْتَمِرٍّ وَ يَجُوزُ اَلنُّورَةُ فِي سَائِرِ اَلْأَيَّامِ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: ‘A man should avoid the use of Nuura (depilatory paste) on Wednesday, for it is a day of continuous ill-omen, but otherwise the use of Nuura is permissible on all other days.’"
