English translation
2305. Umm Ḥakīm bint Asad narrated from her mother, that her husband died, and her eyes were hurting. (She wished to know) if she could apply Jilā as kohl.[2] So she sent a slave of her's to Umm Salamah, and he asked her about applying Jilā as kohl. She replied: "Do not use it as kohl, unless it be for something that you cannot avoid — if it becomes difficult. If that occurs, apply it at night, and wipe it away during the day.” Then she added: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ visited me when Abī Salamah had died, and I had placed some aloe in my eyes. He said: ‘What is this, O Umm Salamah?’ I said, ‘It is only aloe, O Messenger of Allāh. It has no perfume in it.’ He said: ‘It beautifies the face, so do not apply it except at night, and take it off during the day. And do not comb with perfume, nor with henna, for it colors (the hair).’ She said: ‘So what should I comb with, O Messenger of Allāh?’ He replied: ‘With Sidr leaves. You may paste your hair with it.’”[1] (Da'if)
