✅ Mallow is a well-known plant that, according to the above narrations, washing the head with it leads to the removal of poverty, the attraction of sustenance, the cleansing of the head from dirt and dandruff, protection from leprosy and insanity, and the improvement of skin and hair, and protection from headaches, and so on. Performing this action is recommended both in general for all times and specifically for Friday. However, no specific hadith has been reported on the method of its use, and what has been common is that the leaves and flowers of this plant are dried and ground into a soft powder and used for washing the head.
✅ The common practice of using only the flowers of this plant for washing the head has no basis, and in the above narrations, the mallow plant is mentioned in general, and the leaves of this plant are included in that. So he who seeks its benefits must also use its leaves.
✅ How difficult it is for a person to wake up in the morning and be able to see everyone and everything except the one for whom everyone and everything was created! Let us increase the recitation of the following supplication, so that, Inshallah, we may be granted a glimpse of the face of Baqiyyatullah (the remaining of Allah, peace be upon him):
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر
