47. Chapter
٤٧۔ كِتَابُ الْعِدَدِ
[Machine] That Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , said to a woman who was angry at her husband and complained about her eyes, "Apply kohl made from antimony at night and wipe it off during the day."
أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ لِامْرَأَةٍ حَادٍّ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا اشْتَكَتْ عَيْنَيْهَا فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهَا اكْتَحِلِي بِكُحْلِ الْجَلَاءِ بِاللَّيْلِ وَامْسَحِيهِ بِالنَّهَارِ
[Machine] "Allah ﷺ entered upon Umm Salamah while is angry with Abu Salamah, and she had put patience over her eyes. He ﷺ said, 'What is this, O Umm Salamah?' She said, 'O Messenger of Allah, it is nothing but patience.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Use it at night and wipe it during the day, for they are two separate things.' And it was narrated with a connected chain."
اللهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ؓ وَهِيَ حَادٌّ عَلَى أَبِي سَلَمَةَ وَقَدْ جَعَلَتْ عَلَى عَيْنَيْهَا صَبْرًا فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ؟ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ صَبْرٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اجْعَلِيهِ بِاللَّيْلِ وَامْسَحِيهِ بِالنَّهَارِ وَهَذَانِ مُنْقَطِعَانِ وَقَدْ رُوِيَا بِإِسْنَادٍ مَوْصُولٍ
The correct version is "glittering collyrium (kuhl al-jala'). She sent her slave-girl to Umm Salamah, and she asked her about the use of glittering collyrium (kuhl al-jala'). She said: Do not apply it except in the case of dire need which is troubling you. In that case you can use it at night, but you should remove it in the daytime. Then Umm Salamah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit me when AbuSalamah died, and I had put the juice of aloes in my eye. He asked : What is this, Umm Salamah? I replied: It is only the juice of aloes and contains no perfume. He said: It gives the face a glow, so apply it only at night and remove it in daytime, and do not comb yourself with scent or henna, for it is a dye. I asked: What should I use when I comb myself, Messenger of Allah? He said: Use lote-tree leaves and smear your head copiously with them. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2305)
الصَّوَابُ بِكُحْلِ الْجَلَاءِ فَأَرْسَلَتْ مَوْلَاةً لَهَا إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَسَأَلَتْهَا عَنْ كُحْلِ الْجَلَاءِ فَقَالَتْ لَا تَكْتَحِلُ بِهِ إِلَّا مِنْ أَمْرٍ لَا بُدَّ مِنْهُ يَشْتَدُّ عَلَيْكِ فَتَكْتَحِلِينَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَتَمْسَحِينَهُ بِالنَّهَارِ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ ؓ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ وَقَدْ جَعَلْتُ عَلَى عَيْنِي صَبْرًا فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ؟ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّمَا هُوَ الصَّبْرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ طِيبٌ قَالَ إِنَّهُ يَشُبُّ الْوَجْهَ فَلَا تَجْعَلِيهِ إِلَّا بِاللَّيْلِ وَتَنْزَعِينَهُ بِالنَّهَارِ وَلَا تَمْتَشِطِي بِالطِّيبِ وَلَا بِالْحِنَّاءِ فَإِنَّهُ خِضَابٌ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ بِأِيِّ شَيْءٍ أَمْتَشِطُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ بِالسِّدْرِ تُغَلِّفِينَ بِهِ رَأْسَكِ
