The Ritual Bath of Jumu’ah, Entering the Bathhouse, Its Etiquette, and Teachings on Cleanliness and Beautification
وَقَالَ مُوسَى بْنُ بَكْرٍ لِلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: إِنَّ أَصْحَابَنَا يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا أَخْذُ اَلشَّارِبِ وَ اَلْأَظْفَارِ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ «سُبْحَانَ اَللَّهِ خُذْهَا إِنْ شِئْتَ فِي يَوْمِ اَلْجُمُعَةِ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ فِي سَائِرِ اَلْأَيَّامِ.
Musa ibn Bakr said to Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام: "Our companions say that trimming the mustache and nails is only on Jumu’ah." Imam عليه السلام replied: "Glory be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى! Trim them if you wish on Jumu’ah, or if you wish, on any other day."
