Chapter 26 One who applies Kohl an odd number of times
باب مَنِ اكْتَحَلَ وِتْرًا
Sunan Ibn Majah 3498
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Whoever
applies kohl, let him do it an odd number of times. Whoever
does that
has done well, and whoever does not, it does not matter.”
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعْدِ الْخَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ ” مَنِ اكْتَحَلَ فَلْيُوتِرْ مَنْ فَعَلَ فَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ وَمَنْ لاَ فَلاَ حَرَجَ ” .
