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

وَقَالَ أَبُو اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِذَا سَرَّحْتَ لِحْيَتَكَ وَ رَأْسَكَ فَأَمِرَّ اَلْمُشْطَ عَلَى صَدْرِكَ فَإِنَّهُ يَذْهَبُ بِالْهَمِّ وَ اَلْوَنَا.
Abu Al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim عليه السلام said: "When you comb your beard and head, pass the comb over your chest as well, for it removes worry and lethargy”.
