The Ritual Bath of Jumu’ah, Entering the Bathhouse, Its Etiquette, and Teachings on Cleanliness and Beautification
وَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ اِغْتَمَّ فَأَمَرَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنْ يَغْسِلَ رَأْسَهُ بِالسِّدْرِ وَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ سِدْراً مِنْ سِدْرَةِ اَلْمُنْتَهَى.
And when the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم was distressed, Archangel Jibril عليه السلام instructed him to wash his head with sidr (lote tree leaves), and this sidr was from the lote tree of Sidrat al-Muntaha (the utmost boundary in the heavens)."
