The Ritual Bath of Jumu’ah, Entering the Bathhouse, Its Etiquette, and Teachings on Cleanliness and Beautification
وَ رَوَى هِشَامُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ - «تَقْلِيمُ اَلْأَظْفَارِ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ يُؤْمِنُ مِنَ اَلْجُذَامِ وَ اَلْجُنُونِ وَ اَلْبَرَصِ وَ اَلْعَمَى فَإِنْ لَمْ تَحْتَجْ فَحُكَّهَا حَكّاً.
Hisham ibn Salim narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام that He said: "Trimming the nails on Jumu’ah provides protection from leprosy, insanity, vitiligo, and blindness. If you do not need to trim them, then scrape or clean them."
