Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) applied kohl, he would apply it three times in the right eye and twice in the left eye; thus he made it an odd number.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and al-Bazzar also recorded it. Its chain contains a narrator, Uqbah bin Ali, and he is da'if (weak).
