Hadith 24-2

حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ المُتَوَكِّل رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا عَبْدِ اللَّه بْنِ جَعْفَر الحِمْيَريُّ عَنْ إِبْراهيمِ بْنِ هاشِم، عَن أَحْمَدِ بْنِ عامِر الطَّائيّ قالَ: سَمِعتُ أَبَا الحَسَن عَلِىِّ بْنِ مُوسَى الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ يَقُولُ يَوْمُ الأَرْبِعَاءِ يَوْمُ نَحْسٍ مُسْتَمِرٍّ مَنِ احْتَجَمَ فِيهِ خِيفَ أَنْ تَخْضَرَّ مَحَاجِمُهُ وَمَنِ انْتَارَ فِيهِ خِيفَ عَلَيْهِ الْبَرَصُ.

Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutawakkil -may God be pleased with him- narrated that Abdullah ibn Ja’far al-Himyari quoted on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Hashem, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Aamir Al-Ta’ee, “I heard Abul Hassan Ali ibn Musa Al-Ridha’ (a.s.) say, ‘Wednesdays are bad days with a bad omen. Whoever performs a phlebotomy (blood-letting) on that day should fear that it leaves a bruise behind. And whoever removes his hair, wool, or bristles on that day should fear to get leprosy.’”
