The Prophetic Sunnah warned us about the importance of using olive oil both in food and in paint. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to eat olive oil and paint it, and he informed us that the olive tree is a blessed tree.
1 - It was narrated that Abu Asayd (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Eat the oil and use it for it. It will come out of a blessed tree." Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, Ahmad and al-Hakim.
The oil here is olive oil, as Ibn Manzoor said in his book of the tongue of the Arabs and the blessed tree is the olive tree, the fat that comes out of the fruit of olive oil.
2- On the authority of 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her), she said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to forbid washing his head with khashmi and aqanan.
