Umm Hakim bint Asid narrated from her mother that her husband died and she had a problem in her eye, so she applied kohl to clear her eyes. She sent a freed slave woman of hers to Umm Salamah to ask her about using kohl to clear her eyes. She said: “Do not use kohl unless it cannot be avoided. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم entered upon me when Abi Salamah died and I had put some aloe juice on my eyes. He said: ‘What is this, Umm Salamah?’ I said: ‘It is aloe juice, Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, there is no perfume in it.’ He said: ‘It makes the face look bright, so only use it at night, and do not comb your hair with perfume or henna, for it is a ,dye.’ I said: ‘With what can I comb it, Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم?’ He said: ‘With lote leaves — cover your head with them.” (Da’if)
