Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) reports this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The first for whom depilatory paste (nurah) was prepared, and the first to enter the bathhouses, was Sayyiduna Sulayman (peace be upon him). When he entered it, he felt its heat and its oppressiveness, and he said: 'Alas! (Refuge) from the punishment of Allah Almighty! Alas, alas, before it is of no avail! Alas, alas, alas!'"
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Isma'il al-Awdi, who is da'if (weak).
