Hadith 1195
١١٩٥ - حدثنا محمد بن فضيل عن حصين عن عبد اللَّه بن شداد قال: ﴿فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ حَسِبَتْهُ لُجَّةً وَكَشَفَتْ عَنْ سَاقَيْهَا﴾ [النمل: ٤٤] فإذا امرأة شعراء قال: فقال سليمان: ما يذهب هذا؟ قالوا: النورة، قال: فجعلت النورة يومئذ.
Hazrat Abdullah bin Shaddad narrates that there were many hairs on the shank of Bilqis. Hazrat Sulaiman asked how these hairs could be removed. People informed him that it could be done by using "nura" (a depilatory). Since then, nura began to be used for removing hair.
