The Ritual Bath of Jumu’ah, Entering the Bathhouse, Its Etiquette, and Teachings on Cleanliness and Beautification
وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «اِغْسِلُوا رُءُوسَكُمْ بِوَرَقِ اَلسِّدْرِ فَإِنَّهُ قَدَّسَهُ كُلُّ مَلَكٍ مُقَرَّبٍ وَ كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ مُرْسَلٍ وَ مَنْ غَسَلَ رَأْسَهُ بِوَرَقِ اَلسِّدْرِ صَرَفَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَسْوَسَةَ اَلشَّيْطَانِ سَبْعِينَ يَوْماً وَ مَنْ صَرَفَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَسْوَسَةَ اَلشَّيْطَانِ سَبْعِينَ يَوْماً لَمْ يَعْصِ اَللَّهَ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَعْصِ اَللَّهَ دَخَلَ اَلْجَنَّةَ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "Wash your heads with sidr (lote) leaves, for every Muqarrab Angel and every Mursil Prophet has sanctified it. Whoever washes their head with sidr leaves, Allah سبحانه وتعالى will remove the whisperings of Shaytan (Satan) from them for seventy days. Whoever is free from the whisperings of Shaytan for seventy days will not disobey Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and whoever does not disobey Allah سبحانه وتعالى will enter Paradise."
