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 entered upon me when Abu Salamah died and I had put some aloe juice on my eyes. He said: “What is this, O Umm Salamah?' I said: “It is aloe juice, O Messenger of Allah, 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, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: “With lote leaves -cover your head with them”””””"
