The Ritual Bath of Jumu’ah, Entering the Bathhouse, Its Etiquette, and Teachings on Cleanliness and Beautification

وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَلرَّحِيمِ اَلْقَصِيرُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ - «مَنْ أَخَذَ مِنْ أَظْفَارِهِ وَ شَارِبِهِ كُلَّ جُمُعَةٍ وَقَالَ حِينَ يَأْخُذُهُ: بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ عَلَى سُنَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ لَمْ تَسْقُطْ مِنْهُ قُلاَمَةٌ وَ لاَ جُزَازَةٌ إِلاَّ كَتَبَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ بِهَا عِتْقَ نَسَمَةٍ وَ لَمْ يَمْرَضْ إِلاَّ مَرَضَهُ اَلَّذِي يَمُوتُ فِيهِ.
Abd al-Rahim al-Qasir narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, that He said: "Whoever trims their nails and mustache every Jumu’ah and says while doing so: Bismillāhi wa billāhi wa ‘alā sunnati Muḥammad wa āli Muḥammad ṣalawātu Allāhi ‘alayhim In the name of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and by Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and upon the Sunnah of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, may the blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى be upon them,' That no nail or hair clipping will fall except that Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Glorious, will record it as freeing a soul, and such a person will not become ill except for the illness that causes their death."
