✅ Answer: Please pay attention to the following Hadiths:

1 قَالَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ تَوَقَّوُا اَلْبَرْدَ فِي أَوَّلِهِ وَ تَلَقَّوْهُ فِي آخِرِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَفْعَلُ فِي اَلْأَبْدَانِ كَفِعْلِهِ فِي اَلْأَشْجَارِ أَوَّلُهُ يُحْرِقُ وَ آخِرُهُ يُورِقُ.

📚 Nahj al-Balagha, p. 491

Amir al-Mu'minin (Commander of the Faithful - Imam Ali), peace be upon him, said: Protect and guard yourselves from the beginning and onset of the cold, and embrace its end and go to meet it, because the cold does to the body what it does to the trees: its beginning burns, and its end brings out the leaves!

2 عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِیِّ قَالَ قَالَ زِرُّ بْنُ حُبَیْشٍ قَالَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ علیه السلام أَرْبَعُ كَلِمَاتٍ فِی الطِّبِّ لَوْ قَالَهَا بُقْرَاطُ أَوْ جَالِینُوسُ لَقَدَّمَ أَمَامَهَا مِائَةَ وَرَقَةٍ ثُمَّ زَیَّنَهَا بِهَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ وَ هِیَ : تَوَقَّوُا اَلْبَرْدَ فِي أَوَّلِهِ وَ تَلَقَّوْهُ فِي آخِرِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَفْعَلُ فِي اَلْأَبْدَانِ كَفِعْلِهِ فِي اَلْأَشْجَارِ أَوَّلُهُ يُحْرِقُ وَ آخِرُهُ يُورِقُ.

📚 Da'awat al-Rawandi, p. 75

Zarr ibn Hubaish said: Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said: There are four words in medicine that if Hippocrates or Galen wanted to say them, they would first lay a hundred pages of groundwork, and then adorn it with these words, and that is:

Protect and guard yourselves from the beginning and onset of the cold, and embrace its end and go to meet it, because the cold does to the body what it does to the trees: its beginning burns, and its end brings out the leaves!

✅ Note: According to the Bihar al-Anwar version, the beginning of this Hadith might be the statement of Zarr ibn Hubaish.

✅ Based on the luminous Hadiths above, the onset of cold causes the burning and dropping of leaves from trees, and its end causes the trees to sprout leaves. The cold does the same thing to bodies, and thus it is recommended that we protect and guard ourselves from the onset of the cold, but embrace the end of the cold and expose ourselves to it.

✅ In relation to guarding against the cold, please also pay attention to the following important Hadiths:

3 عَنْ یَاسِرٍ الْخَادِمِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الرِّضَا یَقُولُ یَنْبَغِی لِلْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ یَنْقُصَ مِنْ قُوتِ عِیَالِهِ فِی الشِّتَاءِ وَ یَزِیدَ فِی وَقُودِهِمْ.

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 4, p. 13

Yasir al-Khadim (the servant) said: I heard Imam Reza, peace be upon him, saying: It is appropriate for a believer to reduce the provisions for his family in winter and increase their heating and fuel materials!

4 عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ عَنْ سَیْفِ بْنِ عَمِیرَةَ قَالَ: خَرَجَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْحَمَّامِ فَتَلَبَّسَ وَ تَعَمَّمَ فَقَالَ لِی إِذَا خَرَجْتَ مِنَ الْحَمَّامِ فَتَعَمَّمْ قَالَ فَمَا تَرَکْتُ الْعِمَامَةَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِی مِنَ الْحَمَّامِ فِی شِتَاءٍ وَ لَا صَیْفٍ.

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 6, p. 500

Saif ibn Umayra said: Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, came out of the bath, put on clothes, and tied a turban, and he said to me: When you exit the bath, tie a turban!

Saif said: So I never neglected tying a turban when exiting the bath, neither in summer nor in winter!

5 عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَی‌ عَنِ اَلْبَاقِرِ وَ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ قَالَ: إِذَا خَرَجْنَا مِنَ اَلْحَمَّامِ خَرَجْنَا مُتَعَمَّمِينَ شِتَاءً كَانَ أَوْ صَيْفاً وَ كَانَا يَقُولاَنِ هُوَ أَمَانٌ مِنَ اَلصُّدَاعِ.

📚 Makarim al-Akhlaq, p. 55

Imam Baqir and Imam Sadiq, peace be upon them both, said: When we exit the bath, whether it is summer or winter, we exit with a turban tied on our head, and they used to say: This action provides safety from headaches!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر
