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

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَنْ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ رَبِيعِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَذَكَرَ اَلْحَمَّامَ فَقَالَ« إِيَّاكُمْ وَ اَلْخَزَفَ فَإِنَّهَا تَنْكِي اَلْجَسَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْخِرَقِ».
From him, from Ayyub bin Nuh, from Abbas bin Amir, from Rabi' bin Muhammad, who said: I heard Abu Abdullah عليه السلام mention the bathhouse and say: "Beware of using clay tiles (to bath), for they damage the body. Use cloth instead."
