عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَمَّا تَصْنَعُ اَلنِّسَاءُ فِي اَلشَّعْرِ وَ اَلْقُرُونِ فَقَالَ« لَمْ تَكُنْ هَذِهِ اَلْمِشْطَةُ إِنَّمَا كُنَّ يَجْمَعْنَهُ» ثُمَّ وَصَفَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَمْكِنَةٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ« يُبَالِغْنَ فِي اَلْغَسْلِ».
Narrated by Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Jamil, who said:
I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about what women should do regarding their hair and braids. Imam عليه السلام said: "This type of hair styling did not exist. They used to gather their hair together." Then Imam عليه السلام described four specific areas and said: "They should ensure thorough washing."
