جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1757

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: That the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Use Ithmid for Kohl, for it clears the vision and grows the hair (eye-lashes). And he claimed that the Prophet (ﷺ) had a Kohl holder with which he would apply Kohl every night, three in this (eye) and three in this. Another chain with similar meaning. He said: There are narrations on this topic from Jabir and Ibn 'Umar [Abu 'Eisa said:] The Hadith of Ibn 'Abbas is a Hasan Gharib Hadith, we do not know of it with this wording except from the narration of 'Abbas bin Mansur.
