Chapter on Entering the Bathhouse, Its Etiquettes, and Recommended Practices

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلسُّنَّةُ فِي اَلنُّورَةِ فِي خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ فَإِنْ أَتَتْ عَلَيْكَ عِشْرُونَ يَوْماً وَ لَيْسَ عِنْدَكَ شَيْءٌ فَاسْتَقْرِضْ عَلَى اَللَّهِ».
Ahmad bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from one of our companions, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: Imam عليه السلام said: "The Sunnah regarding the use of depilatory paste is every fifteen days. But if twenty days pass and you have nothing, then borrow for the sake of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (and apply it)."
