أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ یَعْقُوبَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عَلِیِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ عُقْبَهَ عَنْ یُونُسَ بْنِ یَعْقُوبَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: الْإِثْمِدُ یَجْلُو الْبَصَرَ وَ یَقْطَعُ الدَّمْعَهَ وَ یُنْبِتُ الشَّعْرَ.
1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ya’qub b. Yazid from al-Hussain b. Ali b. Fadhal from Ali b. ’Uqba from Yunis b. Ya’qub from some of our companions from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Surma improves eyesight, stops tears and helps hair growth.”
