2048. Ibn 'Abbās narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Indeed the best of what you treat
with is As-Sa'ūt, Al-Ladūd, cupping and laxatives. And the best of what you use for Kuhl is Ithmid,[1] for it clears the vision and grows the hair (eye-lashes).” And he said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ had a Kuhl holder with which he would apply Kuhl before sleeping, three in each eye.” (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb, and it is a narration of 'Abbās bin Manšūr.
