1- مَعَانِي الْأَخْبَارِ وَ الْعُيُونُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْخُرَاسَانِيِّ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ: لَيْسَ الْحِمْيَةُ مِنَ الشَّيْءِ تَرْكَهُ إِنَّمَا الْحِمْيَةُ مِنَ الشَّيْءِ الْإِقْلَالُ مِنْهُ.
(The books) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbar’ and Al Uyoun’ – From his father, from Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Attar, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq, from Abdullah Bin Ahmad, from Ismail Al Khurasani,
‘From Al-Reza-asws having said: ‘The dieting from the (edible) thing, isn’t leaving (eating) the thing (all together), but rather the dieting is from thing, is the reducing from it (eating less of it)’’.[1]
2- الْعِلَلُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ مَاجِيلَوَيْهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أُورَمَةَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَيْضِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يَمْرَضُ مِنَّا الْمَرِيضُ فَيَأْمُرُهُ الْمُعَالِجُونَ بِالْحِمْيَةِ
(The book) ‘Al Illal’ – From Muhammad Bin Ali Majaylawiya, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Al-Husayn, from Al-Hassan Bin Aban, from Muhammad Bin Awrama, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Muhammad Bin Is’haq, from Muhammad Bin Al Faeyz who said,
‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! The patient from us becomes sick, so the treaters instruct him with the dieting’.
قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ لَا نَتَحَمَّى إِلَّا مِنَ التَّمْرِ وَ نَتَدَاوَى بِالتُّفَّاحِ وَ الْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ
He-asws said: ‘No! But we-asws, People-asws of the Household, we-asws do not diet (abstain) except from the dates, and we-asws medicate with the apple and the cold water’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ لِمَ تَحْتَمُونَ مِنَ التَّمْرِ قَالَ لِأَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ص حَمَى عَلِيّاً ع مِنْهُ فِي مَرَضِهِ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘And why are you-asws dieting from the dates?’ He-asws said: ‘Because the Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj had made Ali-asws diet (abstain) from it during his-asws illness’’.[2]
الْكَافِي، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَيْضِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَمْرَضُ مِنَّا الْمَرِيضُ وَ ذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ.
(The book) ‘Al-Kafi’ – From Muhammad Bin yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abdul Rahman Bin Hammad, from Muhammad Bin Is’haq, from Muhammad Bin Al Feyz who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘The patient from us becomes sick’ – and mentioned similar to it’’.[3]
الطب، طب الأئمة عليهم السلام عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ يُوسُفَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَيْضِ مِثْلَهُ وَ زَادَ فِي آخِرِهِ وَ قَالَ لَا يَضُرُّ الْمَرِيضَ مَا حَمَيْتُ عَنْهُ الطَّعَامَ.
(The book) ‘Tibb Al Aimma-asws’, may the greetings be upon them-asws, – From Is’haq Bin Yusuf, from Muhammad Bin Al Feyz –
‘Similar to it, and there is an increase in its end – and he-asws said: ‘It does not harm the patient what food he diets (abstains) from’’.[4]
بيان ما حميت عنه أي ما حميته عنه سوى التمر و يحتمل أن يكون المراد بالحمية الإقلال منه كما في سائر الأخبار فالمراد بالحمية المنفية الترك مطلقا فعلى الأول تأكيد و على الثاني تقييد.
Explanation: ‘What he diets (abstains) from’ – i.e. What he abstains from besides the dates, and it is possible that the intent with the dieting would be reducing from it, like what has passed in the Ahadeeth. So the intent with the beneficial dieting, is the leaving absolutely. So upon the first is the emphasis and upon the second is the restriction’.
3- الْمَعَانِي، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ كَمْ يُحْمَى الْمَرِيضُ فَقَالَ رِبْقاً فَلَمْ أَدْرِ كَمْ رِبْقاً فَقَالَ عَشَرَةُ أَيَّامٍ

وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ رِبْقاً وَ رِبْقٌ صَبَاحٌ بِكَلَامِ الرُّومِ عَنَى أَحَدَ عَشَرَ صَبَاحاً.

فَمِنْهَا مَا رَوَوْهُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص الْكَمْأَةُ مِنَ الْمَنِّ وَ مَاؤُهَا شِفَاءُ الْعَيْنِ وَ فِي بَعْضِهَا الْكَمْأَةُ مِنَ الْمَنِّ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَ مَاؤُهَا شِفَاءٌ لِلْعَيْنِ.
From these is what is reported from Saeed Bin Zayd who said,
‘The Prophet-saww said: ‘The truffles are from the Manna (of Allah-azwj), and it’s water is a healing for the eye’. And in part of it: ‘The truffles are from the Manna which Allah-azwj had Sent down unto the children of Israel, and it’s water is a healing for the eye’’.[48]
وَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: كُنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنَّ الْكَمْأَةَ جُدَرِيُّ الْأَرْضِ فَنَمَى الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ الْكَمْأَةُ مِنَ الْمَنِّ وَ مَاؤُهَا شِفَاءٌ لِلْعَيْنِ وَ الْعَجْوَةُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ هُوَ شِفَاءٌ مِنَ السَّمِّ.
And from Abu Hureyra (well-known fabricator) who said,
‘We used to narrate in the era of Rasool-Allah-saww that the truffles are small pox of the earth. The Hadeeth was raised to Rasool-Allah-saww. He-saww said: ‘The truffles are from the Manna, and it’s water is a healing for the eye, and Al-Ajwa (dates) are from the Paradise, and it is a healing from the poison’’.[49]

‘From Abu Ja’far Al-Baqir-asws described the ‘Vapour of Maryam-as’, to a mother of children of his-asws, and he-asws mentioned that it is beneficial for all things from the direction of the souls (spirits), from the touch, and the dementia, and the insanity, and the epilepsy, and the seizure, and other than that, beneficial, tried. By the Permission of Allah-azwj the Exalted.
قَالَ تَأْخُذُ لُبَاناً وَ سِنْدَرُوساً وَ بُزَاقَ الْفَمِ وَ كُورَ سِنْدِيٍّ وَ قُشُورَ الْحَنْظَلِ وَ حَزَاءَ بَرِّيٍّ وَ كِبْرِيتاً أَبْيَضَ وَ كَسَرْتَ دَاخِلَ الْمُقْلِ وَ سُعْدَ يَمَانِيٍّ وَ يكثر [يُكْسَرُ] فِيهِ مُرٌّ وَ شَعْرُ قُنْفُذٍ مَلْتُوتٌ بِقَطِرَانٍ شَامِيٍّ قَدْرَ ثَلَاثِ قَطَرَاتٍ يُجْمَعُ ذَلِكَ كُلُّهُ وَ تُصْنَعُ بَخُوراً فَإِنَّهُ جَيِّدٌ نَافِعٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ.
He-asws said: ‘Take frankincense, and cypress, and saliva of the mouth, and cedar, and husks of bitter melon, wild bitter, and white sulphur, and crumbs of inside the egg, and Yemeni Cyperus, and put a lot of Myrhh and hedgehog hair and fibres of Syrian cotton, a measurement of three drops, gathering all of that and making vapour (steam), for it is good, beneficial, if Allah-azwj so Desires’’.[50]

1- الْعُيُونُ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الثَّعَالِبِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَعْرُوفِ بِالصَّفْوَانِيِّ قَالَ: خَرَجَتْ قَافِلَةٌ مِنْ خُرَاسَانَ إِلَى كِرْمَانَ فَقَطَعَ اللُّصُوصُ عَلَيْهِمُ الطَّرِيقَ وَ أَخَذُوا مِنْهُمْ رَجُلًا اتَّهَمُوهُ بِكَثْرَةِ الْمَالِ فَبَقِيَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ مُدَّةً يُعَذِّبُونَهُ لِيَفْتَدِيَ مِنْهُمْ نَفْسَهُ وَ أَقَامُوهُ فِي الثَّلْجِ فَشَدُّوهُ وَ مَلَئُوا فَاهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الثَّلْجِ فَرَحِمَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ فَأَطْلَقَتْهُ وَ هَرَبَ
(The book) ‘Al Uyoun’ – From Ahmad Bin Ali Al Sa’aby, from Abdullah Bin Abdul Rahman, well-known as Al Safwany who said,
‘A caravan went out from Khurasan to Kirman. The thieves (bandits) cut the road upon them and seized a man from them. They accused him of being with a lot of wealth. He remained (a prisoner) in their hands for a period. They kept tormenting him for him to ransom himself from them, and they made him stand in the snow. They tied him up and filled up his mouth from that snow. A woman from their womenfolk pitied him, so she freed him and he fled.
فَانْفَسَدَ فَمُهُ وَ لِسَانُهُ حَتَّى لَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَى الْكَلَامِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى خُرَاسَانَ وَ سَمِعَ بِخَبَرِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى الرِّضَا ع وَ أَنَّهُ بِنَيْشَابُورَ فَرَأَى فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ كَأَنَّ قَائِلًا يَقُولُ لَهُ إِنَّ ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَدْ وَرَدَ خُرَاسَانَ فَسَلْهُ عَنْ عِلَّتِكَ دَوَاءً تَنْتَفِعُ بِهِ
His mouth and his tongue were spoilt to the extent that he was not able upon the talking. Then he left to go to Khurasan, and he heard the news of Ali-asws Bin Musa Al-Reza-asws and that he-asws was at Nishapur. He saw in what the sleeping one tends to see (a dream), as if a speaker was saying to him: ‘The son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww has arrived at Khurasan, so ask him-asws for a cure for your ailment, you shall benefit with it!’
قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ كَأَنِّي قَدْ قَصَدْتُهُ ع وَ شَكَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ مَا كُنْتُ وَقَعْتُ فِيهِ وَ أَخْبَرْتُهُ بِعِلَّتِي فَقَالَ لِي خُذِ الْكَمُّونَ وَ السَّعْتَرَ وَ الْمِلْحَ وَ دُقَّهُ وَ خُذْ مِنْهُ فِي فَمِكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثاً فَإِنَّكَ تُعَافَى
He said, ‘I saw as if I had aimed (gone) to him and complained to him-asws of what I had fallen into, and informed him-asws of my ailment. He-asws said to me: ‘Take the cumin, and the thyme, and the salt, and powder it, and take from it into your mouth, twice of thrice, so you shall recover’’.
فَانْتَبَهَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ مَنَامِهِ وَ لَمْ يُفَكِّرْ فِيمَا كَانَ رَأَى فِي مَنَامِهِ وَ لَا اعْتَدَّ بِهِ حَتَّى وَرَدَ بَابَ نَيْسَابُورَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُوسَى الرِّضَا ع قَدِ ارْتَحَلَ مِنْ نَيْسَابُورَ وَ هُوَ بِرِبَاطِ سَعْدٍ
The man woke up from his sleep and did not think regarding what he had seen during his sleep, nor did he take it until he arrived at the gate of Nishapur. It was said to him, ‘Ali-asws Bin Musa Al-Reza-asws has departed from Nishapur and he was at Ribat Sa’ad’.
فَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِ الرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَقْصِدَهُ وَ يَصِفَ لَهُ أَمْرَهُ لِيَصِفَ لَهُ مَا يَنْتَفِعُ بِهِ مِنَ الدَّوَاءِ فَقَصَدَهُ إِلَى رِبَاطِ سَعْدٍ فَدَخَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِي كَيْتَ وَ كَيْتَ وَ قَدِ انْفَسَدَ عَلَيَّ فَمِي وَ لِسَانِي حَتَّى لَا أَقْدِرُ عَلَى الْكَلَامِ إِلَّا بِجَهْدٍ فَعَلِّمْنِي دَوَاءً أَنْتَفِعُ بِهِ
It occurred in the self of the man that he should aim (to go to) him-asws and describe his matter to him-asws, for him-asws to described to him what medicine he can benefit with. He aimed to Ribat Sa’ad. He entered to see him-asws, ‘He said to him-asws, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! From my affair, such and such has taken place, and my mouth and my tongue have been spoilt upon me to the extent that I am not able upon the talking, except by struggle, so teach me a cure I can benefit with!’
فَقَالَ ع أَ لَمْ أُعَلِّمْكَ اذْهَبْ فَاسْتَعْمِلْ مَا وَصَفْتُهُ فِي مَنَامِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تُعِيدَهُ عَلَيَّ
He-asws said: ‘Did I-asws not teach you? Go, and utilise what I-asws had described to you in your sleep!’ The man said to him-asws, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! If you-asws see fit, you-asws can repeat it unto me’.
فَقَالَ ع خُذْ مِنَ الْكَمُّونِ وَ السَّعْتَرِ وَ الْمِلْحِ فَدُقَّهُ وَ خُذْ مِنْهُ فِي فَمِكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثاً فَإِنَّكَ سَتُعَافَى
He-asws said: ‘Take from the cumin, and the thyme and the salt. Powder it and take from it into your mouth, twice or thrice, so you shall recover’.
قَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَاسْتَعْمَلْتُ مَا وَصَفَهُ لِي فَعُوفِيتُ
The man said, ‘I used what he-asws had described to me and I recovered’.
قَالَ أَبُو حَامِدٍ أَحْمَدُ الثَّعَالِبِيُّ سَمِعْتُ الصَّفْوَانِيَّ يَقُولُ رَأَيْتُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ وَ سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ هَذِهِ الْحِكَايَةَ.
Abu Hamid Ahmad Al Sa’alby said, ‘I heard Al-Safwany saying, ‘I saw this man and I heard this tale from him’’.[52]
2- الْكَافِي، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ ذَرَّ عَلَى أَوَّلِ لُقْمَةٍ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ الْمِلْحَ ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ بِنَمَشِ الْوَجْهِ.
(The book) ‘Al-Kafi’ – From Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, raising it, said,

‘Abu Al-Hassan-asws the 1st, he (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws said: ‘One who cleans himself with the Cyperus after the defecation and washes his mouth with it after the meal, no ailment would afflict him in his mouth, nor will he fear anything from the winds of the haemorrhoids’’.[54]
4- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي الْبِلَادِ قَالَ: أَخَذَنِي الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُوسَى فَأَمَرَ فَوُجِئَ فَمِي فَتَزَعْزَعَتْ أَسْنَانِي فَلَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَمْضَغَ الطَّعَامَ فَرَأَيْتُ أَبِي فِي الْمَنَامِ وَ مَعَهُ شَيْخٌ لَا أَعْرِفُهُ فَقَالَ أَبِي سَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَهْ مَنْ هَذَا فَقَالَ هَذَا أَبُو شَيْبَةَ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ
And from him, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from one of his companions, from Ibrahim Bin Abu Al Bilad who said,
‘Al Abbas Bin Musa seized me, and he ordered, so my mouth was pained. My teeth shook so I was not able upon chewing the food. I saw my father in the dream and there was an old man with him, I did not recognise him. My father said, ‘Greet unto him!’ I said, ‘O father! Who is this?’ He said, ‘He is Abu Sheyba Al-Khurasani’.
قَالَ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لِي مَا لِي أَرَاكَ هَكَذَا
He (the narrator) said, ‘I greeted unto him. He said to me, ‘What is the matter I see you being like this?’’.
قَالَ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ الْفَاسِقَ عَبَّاسَ بْنَ مُوسَى أَمَرَ بِي فَوُجِئَ فَمِي فَتَزَعْزَعَتْ أَسْنَانِي فَقَالَ لِي شُدَّهَا بِالسُّعْدِ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘The mischief maker Abbas Bin Musa ordered with me, so my mouth was pained, and my teeth are shaking’. He said to me, ‘Strengthen these with the Cyperus’.
فَأَصْبَحْتُ فَتَمَضْمَضْتُ بِالسُّعْدِ فَسَكَنَتْ أَسْنَانِي.
I woke up in the morning, and gargled with the Cyperus, and my teeth settled’’.[55]

‘From Umar son of Ali-asws, from his father Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws at the city of the Prophet‑saww, having said: ‘My-asws brother-as passed by a city, and there, their faces were yellow and their eyes were blue. They shouted to him-asws and complained of what ailments were with them.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَنْتُمْ دَوَاؤُهُ مَعَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا أَكَلْتُمُ اللَّحْمَ طَبَخْتُمُوهُ غَيْرَ مَغْسُولٍ وَ لَيْسَ يَخْرُجُ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا بِجَنَابَةٍ فَغَسَلُوا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ لُحُومَهُمْ فَذَهَبَتْ أَمْرَاضُهُمْ
He-as said to them: ‘It’s cure is with you. Whenever you are eating the meat, you are cooking it without washing, and there isn’t anything exiting from the world except with sexual impurity!’ So, after that, they washed their meats, and their diseases were gone’.
وَ قَالَ مَرَّ أَخِي عِيسَى بِمَدِينَةٍ وَ إِذَا أَهْلُهَا أَسْنَانُهُمْ مُنْتَثِرَةٌ وَ وُجُوهُهُمْ مُنْتَفِخَةٌ فَشَكَوْا إِلَيْهِ
And he said, ‘My-asws brother-as Isa-as passed by a city, and there, it’s people, their teeth were scattered, and their faces were swollen. They complained to him-as.
فَقَالَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا نِمْتُمْ تُطْبِقُونَ أَفْوَاهَكُمْ فَتَغْلِي الرِّيحُ فِي الصُّدُورِ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ إِلَى الْفَمِ فَلَا يَكُونُ لَهَا مَخْرَجٌ فَتَرْجِعُ إِلَى أُصُولِ الْأَسْنَانِ فَيَفْسُدُ الْوَجْهُ فَإِذَا نِمْتُمْ فَافْتَحُوا شِفَاهَكُمْ وَ صَيِّرُوهُ لَكُمْ خُلُقاً فَفَعَلُوا فَذَهَبَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُمْ.
He-as said: ‘You, when you are sleeping, are closing your mouths, so the wind boils in the chests until it reaches the mouth, for there does not happen to be an exit for it. So it returns to the roots of the teeth and spoils the face. When you sleep, keep your lips open and make it to be a mannerism of yours!’ They did so and that went away from them’’.[57]
7- الطب، طب الأئمة عليهم السلام رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْمَاضِي ع قَالَ: ضَرَبَتْ عَلَيَّ أَسْنَانِي فَجَعَلْتُ عَلَيْهَا السُّعْدَ

And he-asws said: ‘Take the colocynth and peel it and extract it’s oil. If the molar has been eroded, has a cavity, drop two drops from the oil in it and make cotton to be in it, and make it to be in your ear which follows the tooth (right or left), for three nights, it would settle that, if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires’’.[58]

‘I was in the presence of Abu Al-Hassan-asws the 1st. He-asws saw me groaning. He-asws said: ‘What is the matter with you?’ I said, ‘My molar!’ He-asws said: ‘Get cupping done’.
فَاحْتَجَمْتُ فَسَكَنَ فَأَعْلَمْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي مَا تَدَاوَى النَّاسُ بِشَيْءٍ خَيْرٍ مِنْ مَصَّةِ دَمٍ أَوْ مُزْعَةِ عَسَلٍ
So I got cupping done, and it settled. I let him-asws know. He-asws said to me: ‘The people cannot medicate with anything better than sucking out the blood or the honeycomb’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا الْمُزْعَةُ عَسَلٍ قَالَ لَعْقَةُ عَسَلٍ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! What is the honeycomb?’ He‑asws said: ‘Licking the honey’’.[59]

Explanation – ‘The mentioned in the book of the men (narrators), it is that Hamza Bin Al Tayyar (the forementioned narrator) died during the lifetime of Al-Sadiq-asws, and he-asws had invoked Mercy (of Allah-azwj) upon him, his report from Abu Al-Hassan-asws the 1st perhaps happened during the lifetime of his-asws father-asws’.
9- الْكَافِي، عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ع يَقُولُ دَوَاءُ الضِّرْسِ تَأْخُذُ حَنْظَلَةً فَتُقَشِّرُهَا ثُمَّ تَسْتَخْرِجُ دُهْنَهَا فَإِنْ كَانَ الضِّرْسُ مَأْكُولًا مُنْحَفِراً تُقَطِّرُ فِيهِ قَطَرَاتٍ وَ تَجْعَلُ مِنْهُ فِي قُطْنٍ شَيْئاً وَ تَجْعَلُ فِي جَوْفِ الضِّرْسِ وَ يَنَامُ صَاحِبُهُ مُسْتَلْقِياً يَأْخُذُهُ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ
(The book) ‘Al-Kafi’ – From a number of his companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Bakr Bin Salih, from Suleyman Bin Ja’far Al Ja’fari who said,
‘I heard Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws saying: ‘Cure of the molar (pain), take colocynth, peel it, then extract it’s oil. If the molar has been eroded, being with a cavity, drop two drops of oil into it and make something from the cotton in it, and make it to be in the inside of the molar, and it’s owner should take it lying down, for three nights.
فَإِنْ كَانَ الضِّرْسُ لَا أَكَلَ فِيهِ وَ كَانَتْ رِيحاً قَطِّرْ فِي الْأُذُنِ الَّتِي تَلِي ذَلِكَ الضِّرْسَ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ قَطْرَتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَ قَطَرَاتٍ يَبْرَأُ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ
If the molar is not eaten (eroded) and was windy, drop in the ear which follows that molar, for three nights, two or three drops each night, it will be cured by the Permission of Allah‑azwj’.
قَالَ وَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لِوَجَعِ الْفَمِ وَ الدَّمِ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْأَسْنَانِ وَ الضَّرَبَانِ وَ الْحُمْرَةِ الَّتِي تَقَعُ فِي الْفَمِ يَأْخُذُ حَنْظَلَةً رَطْبَةً قَدِ اصْفَرَّتْ فَيَجْعَلُ عَلَيْهَا قَالَباً مِنْ طِينٍ ثُمَّ يَثْقُبُ رَأْسَهَا وَ يُدْخِلُ سِكِّيناً جَوْفَهَا فَيَحُكُّ جَوَانِبَهَا بِرِفْقٍ ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ عَلَيْهَا خَلَّ خَمْرٍ حَامِضاً شَدِيدَ الْحُمُوضَةِ
He (the narrator) said, ‘And I heard him-asws saying for the mouth pain: ‘And the blood which comes out from the teeth, and the ulcers, and the redness which occurs in the mouth, take damp colocynth which as yellowed, make a mould of clay to be upon it, then puncture it’s top and insert a knife in its interior. Gently rub it’s sides, then pour wine vinegar upon it, very sour acid.
ثُمَّ يَضَعُهَا عَلَى النَّارِ فَيُغْلِيهَا غَلَيَاناً شَدِيداً ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ صَاحِبُهُ كُلَّ مَا احْتَمَلَ ظُفُرُهُ فَيَدْلُكُ بِهِ فِيهِ وَ يَتَمَضْمَضُ بِخَلٍّ وَ إِنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُحَوِّلَ مَا فِي الْحَنْظَلَةِ فِي زُجَاجَةٍ أَوْ بَسْتُوقَةٍ فَعَلَ وَ كُلَّمَا فَنِيَ خَلُّهُ أَعَادَ مَكَانَهُ وَ كُلَّمَا عَتَقَ كَانَ خَيْراً لَهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
Then place it upon the fire and boil it with intense boiling, then take its owner (the patient) should take all what his-asws fingertip can carry and rub it with it in it, and he should gargle with vinegar. And if he so like, he can transfer what is in the colocynth to be in a bottle or a bowl, he can do so, and every time his vinegar depletes, he can refill in it’s place, and every time it ages (matures), it would be better for him, if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires’’.[60]

باب 61 علاج دخول العلق منافذ البدن
CHAPTER 61 – TREATMENT OF LEECHES ENTERING PORTS OF THE BODY
1- الْخَرَائِجُ، رَوَوْا أَنَّ تِسْعَةَ إِخْوَةٍ أَوْ عَشَرَةً فِي حَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ أُخْتٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَقَالُوا لَهَا كُلُّ مَا يَرْزُقُنَا اللَّهُ نَطْرَحُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكِ فَلَا تَرْغَبِي فِي التَّزْوِيجِ فَحَمِيَّتُنَا لَا تَحْمِلُ ذَلِكِ
(The book) ‘Al Kharaij’ –
‘It is reported that there were nine or ten brother in a tribe from the Arab tribes. There was one sister for them. They said to her, ‘Eat whatever Allah-azwj Graces us. We shall place it in front of you, but do not desire the marriage for our protectiveness cannot bear that’.
فَوَافَقَتْهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ وَ رَضِيَتْ بِهِ وَ قَعَدَتْ فِي خِدْمَتِهِمْ وَ هُمْ يُكْرِمُونَهَا فَحَاضَتْ يَوْماً فَلَمَّا طَهُرَتْ أَرَادَتِ الِاغْتِسَالَ وَ خَرَجَتْ إِلَى عَيْنِ مَاءٍ كَانَتْ بِقُرْبِ حَيِّهِمْ فَخَرَجَتْ مِنَ الْمَاءِ عَلَقَةٌ فَدَخَلَتْ فِي جَوْفِهَا وَ قَدْ جَلَسَتْ فِي الْمَاءِ
She concurred with them regarding that and was pleased with it, and she sat in their service, and they were honouring her. One day she menstruated. When she was clean, she intended the bathing, and she went out to a spring of water which was nearby their tribe. A leech emerged from the water and entered in her interior while she had been sitting in the water.
فَمَضَتْ عَلَيْهَا الْأَيَّامُ وَ الْعَلَقَةُ تَكْبُرُ حَتَّى عَلَتْ بَطْنُهَا وَ ظَنَّ الْإِخْوَةُ أَنَّهَا حُبْلَى وَ قَدْ خَانَتْ فَأَرَادُوا قَتْلَهَا فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ نَرْفَعُ أَمْرَهَا إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيٍّ ع فَإِنَّهُ يَتَوَلَّى ذَلِكَ
The days passed upon her, and the leech became larger until it reached her belly, and the brothers thought that she was pregnant. They wanted to killer. One of them said, ‘We should raise her matter to Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws, so he-asws would be in charge of that.
فَأَخْرَجُوهَا إِلَى حَضْرَتِهِ وَ قَالُوا فِيهَا مَا ظَنُّوا بِهَا وَ اسْتَحْضَرَ عَلِيٌّ ع طَسْتاً مَمْلُوّاً بِالْحَمْأَةِ وَ أَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَقْعُدَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّتِ الْعَلَقَةُ رَائِحَةَ الْحَمْأَةِ نَزَلَتْ مِنْ جَوْفِهَا الْخَبَرَ.
They brought her out to his-asws presence and said regarding her what they had thought with her, and Ali-asws presented a tray filled with reddish mash (Al-Hamaat) and instructed her-asws to sit upon it. When the leech sensed the smell of the reddish mud, it descended from her inside’ – the Hadeeth’’.[67]
2- وَ أَقُولُ قَدْ رَوَى جَمٌّ غَفِيرٌ مِنْ عُلَمَائِنَا مِنْهُمْ شَاذَانُ بْنُ جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مِنَ الْمُخَالِفِينَ مِنْهُمْ أَسْعَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْأَرْدَبِيلِيُّ الْمَالِكِيُّ بِأَسَانِيدِهِمْ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ وَ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ قَالا كُنَّا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ إِذَا بِزَعْقَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ وَ كَانَ عَلَى دَكَّةِ الْقَضَاءِ فَقَالَ يَا عَمَّارُ ائْتِ بِمَنْ عَلَى الْبَابِ فَخَرَجْتُ وَ إِذَا عَلَى الْبَابِ امْرَأَةٌ فِي قُبَّةٍ عَلَى جَمَلٍ وَ هِيَ تَشْتَكِي وَ تَصِيحُ يَا غِيَاثَ الْمُسْتَغِيثِينَ إِلَيْكَ تَوَجَّهْتُ وَ بِوَلِيِّكَ تَوَسَّلْتُ فَبَيِّضْ وَجْهِي وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي كُرْبَتِي
And I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘A large number of our scholars have reported, among them being Shazan Bin Jibraeel, and from the adversaries, from them being As’ad Bin Ibrahim Al Ardebeli Al Malaky, by their chains from Ammar Bin Yasir and Zayd Bin Arqam, both said,
‘We were in front of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and there a loud roar and it was upon the door of the Judicial House. He-asws said; ‘O Ammar-ra! You are for the one at the door!’ I-ra went out and there was a woman at the door, in a dome (carriage) upon a camel, and she was complaining and shouting, ‘O helper of the seekers of help! I have come to you-asws, and have sought a means with your-asws guardianship!’ My-ra face brightened and my-ra distress was relieved from me-ra’.
قَالَ عَمَّارٌ وَ حَوْلَهَا أَلْفُ فَارِسٍ بِسُيُوفٍ مَسْلُولَةٍ وَ قَوْمٌ لَهَا وَ قَوْمٌ عَلَيْهَا فَقُلْتُ أَجِيبُوا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع
Ammar-ra said, ‘And there were a thousand horsemen around her with unsheathed swords, and a group was for her, and a group was against her. I-ra said, ‘Answer Amir Al-Momineen‑asws!’
فَنَزَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَ دَخَلَ الْقَوْمُ مَعَهَا الْمَسْجِدَ وَ اجْتَمَعَ أَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ فَقَامَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ قَالَ سَلُونِي مَا بَدَا لَكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الشَّامِ
The woman descended and the group entered the Masjid with her, and the people of Al-Kufa gathered. Amir Al-Momineen-asws stood up and said: ‘Ask me-asws, whatever comes to you, O people of Syrian!’
فَنَهَضَ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ شَيْخٌ وَ قَالَ يَا مَوْلَايَ هَذِهِ الْجَارِيَةُ ابْنَتِي قَدْ خَطَبَهَا مُلُوكُ الْعَرَبِ وَ قَدْ نَكَسَتْ رَأْسِي بَيْنَ عَشِيرَتِي لِأَنَّهَا عَاتِقٌ حَامِلٌ فَاكْشِفْ هَذِهِ الْغُمَّةَ
An old man got up from between them and said, ‘O my Master-asws! This girl is my daughter! Kings of the Arabs have proposed to her, and she has lowered my head between my clan, because she is an unmarried adolescent, pregnant. So remove this gloom!’
فَقَالَ ع مَا تَقُولِينَ يَا جَارِيَةُ قَالَتْ يَا مَوْلَايَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ إِنِّي عَاتِقٌ صَدَقَ وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ إِنِّي حَامِلٌ فَوَ حَقِّكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْ نَفْسِي خِيَانَةً قَطُّ
He-asws said: ‘What are you saying, O girl?’ She said, ‘O my Master-asws! As for his words that I am an unmarried adolescent, he speaks the truth, and as for his words that I am pregnant, so by your-asws right, O my Master-asws! I do not know from myself any betrayal at all!’
فَصَعِدَ ع الْمِنْبَرَ وَ قَالَ عَلَيَّ بِدَايَةِ الْكُوفَةِ فَجَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ تُسَمَّى لَبْنَاءَ وَ هِيَ قَابِلَةُ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ فَقَالَ لَهَا اضْرِبِي بَيْنَكِ وَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ حِجَاباً وَ انْظُرِي هَذِهِ الْجَارِيَةَ عَاتِقٌ حَامِلٌ أَمْ لَا
He-asws ascended the pulpit and said: ‘To me-asws with a midwife of Al-Kufa!’ A woman called Labna’a came, and she was a mid-wife woman of the people of Al-Kufa. He-asws said to her: ‘Strike a veil between you and the people, and look (examine) the unmarried adolescent girl whether she is pregnant or not!’
فَفَعَلَتْ مَا أَمَرَ ع بِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَتْ وَ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ يَا مَوْلَايَ هِيَ عَاتِقٌ حَامِلٌ
She did what he-asws had ordered with and said, ‘Yes, O my Master-asws! She is an unmarried adolescent pregnant’.
فَقَالَ ع مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى قِطْعَةِ ثَلْجٍ فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ قَالَ أَبُو الْجَارِيَةِ الثَّلْجُ فِي بِلَادِنَا كَثِيرٌ وَ لَكِنْ لَا نَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهَا هَاهُنَا
He-asws said: ‘Who from you is able upon cutting ice at this time?’ Father of the girl said, ‘There is a lot of snow in our city, but we are not able upon it over here!’
قَالَ عَمَّارٌ فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ مِنْ أَعْلَى مِنْبَرِ الْكُوفَةِ وَ رَدَّهَا وَ إِذَا فِيهَا قِطْعَةٌ مِنَ الثَّلْجِ يَقْطُرُ الْمَاءُ مِنْهَا
Ammar-ra said, ‘He-asws extended his-asws hand while he-asws was upon the pulpit of Al-Kufa, and returned it, and behold, there was a piece of ice (snow), the water was dripping from it.
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا دَايَةُ خُذِي هَذِهِ الْقِطْعَةَ مِنَ الثَّلْجِ وَ اخْرُجِي بِالْجَارِيَةِ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ وَ اتْرُكِي تَحْتَهَا طَسْتاً وَ ضَعِي هَذِهِ الْقِطْعَةَ مِمَّا يَلِي الْفَرْجَ فَسَتَرَى عَلَقَةً وَزْنُهَا سَبْعُمِائَةٍ وَ خَمْسُونَ دِرْهَماً
Then he-asws said: ‘O midwife! Take this piece of snow and go out from the Masjid with the girl and leave a tray beneath her and place this piece (of snow) from what follows the private part. So you will find a leech, it’s weight would be seven hundred and fifty Dirhams!’
فَفَعَلَتْ وَ رَجَعَتْ بِالْجَارِيَةِ وَ الْعَلَقَةِ إِلَيْهِ ع وَ كَانَتْ كَمَا قَالَ ع
She did that and returned with the girl and the leech, to him-asws, and it was just as he-asws had said.
ثُمَّ قَالَ ع لِأَبِي الْجَارِيَةِ خُذِ ابْنَتَكَ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا زَنَتْ وَ لَكِنْ دَخَلَتِ الْمَوْضِعَ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْمَاءُ فَدَخَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْعَلَقَةُ وَ هِيَ بِنْتُ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ وَ كَبِرَتْ إِلَى الْآنَ فِي بَطْنِهَا
Then he-asws said to the father of the girl: ‘Take your daughter, for by Allah-azwj, she has not committed adultery, but she had entered the place in which was the water, and this leech had entered her when she was a girl of ten, and it grew larger in her belly until now’.
وَ الرِّوَايَاتُ طَوِيلَةٌ مُخْتَلِفَةُ الْأَلْفَاظِ اقْتَصَرْنَا مِنْهَا عَلَى مَوْضِعِ الِاتِّفَاقِ وَ الْحَاجَةِ وَ الرِّوَايَتَانِ تَدُلَّانِ عَلَى أَنَّ الْعَلَقَ إِذَا دَخَلَ شَيْئاً مِنْ مَنَافِذِ الْبَدَنِ يُمْكِنُ إِخْرَاجُهَا بِإِدْنَاءِ الْحَمْأَةِ وَ الثَّلْجِ إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي هِيَ فِيهِ.
And the report is lengthy of different wordings. We have shortened from it based upon the place of agreements, and the need, and the two reports evidence upon that the leech, when it enters something from a port of the body, it is possible to expel it, with a little mud, and the snow to the place in which it is’’.[68]

‘Ahmad Bin Riyah the doctor dictated to us these medications, and he mentioned that it had been presented to the Imam-asws. He-asws was satisfied regarding the loin pain.

فَإِذَا جُعِلَ فِيهِ هَذِهِ الْأَخْلَاطُ عُجِنَ بَعْضُهَا بِبَعْضٍ وَ جُعِلَ فِي جَرَّةٍ خَضْرَاءَ الشَّرْبَةُ مِنْهُ وَزْنُ مِثْقَالَيْنِ عَلَى الرِّيقِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَإِنَّهُ يُسَخِّنُ الْمَعِدَةَ وَ يَهْضِمُ الطَّعَامَ وَ يُخْرِجُ الرِّيَاحَ مِنَ الْمَفَاصِلِ كُلِّهَا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى.
So when these mixtures are made to be in it, it is kneaded with each other and made to be in a green jar. The drink from it is a weight of two ounces upon the empty stomach once, for it would thicken the stomach and digest the food, and expel the wind from the joints, all of them, by the Permission of Allah-azwj the Exalted’’.[88]

(The book) ‘Tibb Al Aimma-asws’, may the greetings be upon them-asws – from Ismail Bin Al Qasim Al Mutabbib Al Kufy, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Is’haq Bin Al Feyz who said,
‘I was in the presence of Al-Sadiq-asws when a man from the Shias came to him-asws. He said to him-asws, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! My daughter has withered and her body has weakened, and her sickness has prolonged, and with her is belly ache’.
فَقَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع وَ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنْ هَذَا الْأَرُزِّ بِالشَّحْمِ الْمُبَارَكِ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ الشُّحُومَ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لِعِظَمِ بَرَكَتِهَا أَنْ تَطْعَمَهَا حَتَّى يَمْسَحَ اللَّهُ مَا بِهَا لَعَلَّكَ تَتَوَهَّمُ أَنْ تُخَالِفَ لِكَثْرَةِ مَا عَالَجْتَ
Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘And what prevents you from this rice with the fat, the Blessed? But rather, Allah-azwj has Prohibited the fats unto the children of Israel due to the might of its Blessings. Feed her until Allah-azwj Clears what is with her. Perhaps you are imagining that you will oppose due to the treatments you may have tried’.
قَالَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِهِ
He said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! And how shall I deal with it?’
قَالَ خُذْ أَحْجَاراً أَرْبَعَةً فَاجْعَلْهَا تَحْتَ النَّارِ وَ اجْعَلِ الْأَرُزَّ فِي الْقِدْرِ وَ اطْبُخْهُ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَ ثُمَّ خُذْ شَحْمَ كُلْيَتَيْنِ طَرِيّاً وَ اجْعَلْهُ فِي قَصْعَةٍ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ الْأَرُزُّ وَ نَضَجَ فَخُذِ الْأَحْجَارَ الْأَرْبَعَةَ فَأَلْقِهَا فِي الْقَصْعَةِ الَّتِي فِيهَا الشَّحْمُ وَ كُبَّ عَلَيْهَا قَصْعَةً أُخْرَى ثُمَّ حَرِّكْهَا تَحْرِيكاً شَدِيداً وَ لَا يَخْرُجَنَّ بُخَارُهُ
He-asws said: ‘Take four stones and make these to be under the fire, and make the rice to be in a pot and cook it until it matures. Then take fat of two fresh kidneys and make it to be in a bowl. When the rice matures (cooked) and ripers, take the four stones. Throw these in the bow in which is the fat and cover another bowl upon it. Then move it with severe movement, and do not (let) it’s vapour escape.
فَإِذَا ذَابَ الشَّحْمُ فَاجْعَلْهُ فِي الْأَرُزِّ لِتَحَسَّاهُ لَا حَارّاً وَ لَا بَارِداً فَإِنَّهَا تُعَافَى بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
When the fat melts, make it to be in the rice to liquify it, neither hot nor cold, for she would recover by the Permission of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’.
فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ الْمُعَالِجُ وَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ مَا أَكَلْتُهُ إِلَّا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً حَتَّى عُوفِيْتُ.
The man seeking treatment said, ‘By Allah-azwj Who, there is no god except He-azwj! I did not make her eat except once, until she recovered’’.[89]

And from him, from Yusuf Bin Yaqoub Al Zafrany, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub who said,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to me, and I was serving him-asws during his-asws pain which he-asws was in, and it is the Tenesmus: ‘Woe to you, O Yunus! Do you know that I-asws have been Inspired during my-asws illness to eat the rice? So I-asws instructed with it. It was washed, then dried, then fried, then thickened, cooked. I-asws ate it with the fat, and Allah-azwj Removed that pain away from me-asws’’.[90]

He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws smiled, and said: ‘Woe to you! Our-asws supplications from Allah-azwj are with a place, and I-asws shall ask Allah-azwj to lighten it from you by His-azwj Mighty and His-azwj Strength.

Whenever the matter is severe with you and you fold from it, to take walnuts and drop these upon the fire until you know that what is inside them has been grilled, and the fire has changed it. Peel them and eat them, for it would settle from it’s very time’.

(The book) ‘Tibb Al Aimma-asws’, may the greetings be upon them-asws – From Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Ibrahim, from Ahmad Bin Bisharat who said,
‘I performed Hajj. I came to Al-Medina. I entered Masjid Al-Rasool-saww and there was Abu Ibrahim-asws (7th Imam-asws) seated in a side of the well. I approached and kissed his-asws head and his-asws hand and greeted unto him-asws. He-asws responded the greeting and said: ‘How are you from your illness?’ I said, ‘I am still complaining’ – and there was the tuberculosis with me.
فَقَالَ خُذْ هَذَا الدَّوَاءَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَإِنَّكَ تُوَافِيهَا وَ قَدْ عُوفِيتَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَأَخْرَجْتُ الدَّوَاةَ وَ الْكَاغَذَ وَ أَمْلَى عَلَيْنَا
He-asws said: ‘Take this medication in Al-Medina before you go out to Makkah. You will arrive at it and you would have recovered by the Permission of Allah-azwj the Exalted’. So I brought out the ink and the pen and he-asws dictated to us: –

Hyacinth, and cardamom, and saffron, and pyrethrum, and henbane, and hellebore, and white pepper would be taken in equal quantities, and two portions of marmaria plant, powdered and sieved with silk, and kneaded with froth-less honey, and the patient of tuberculosis would be quenched from it like the chickpea with warm water at sleep time, and you will not drink that except three nights until you will recover from it by the Permission of Allah-azwj the Exalted’.
فَفَعَلْتُ فَدَفَعَ عَنِّي فَعُوفِيتُ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى.
I did so and it was repelled away from me. I recovered by the Permission of Allah-azwj the Exalted’’.[98]

He-asws said: ‘Take one portion of white pepper, and two portions of marmaria plant, and one portion of white hellebore, and one portion of the hyacinth, and one portion of the cardamom, and one portion of the saffron, and henbane, and sieved with silk, and kneaded with froth-less honey the like of its weight, and you should take for the cough, the old and the new from it, one seed with fennel water at sleep time, and let the water be lukewarm, not cold, for it will uproot (the cough) from its roots’’.[99]

He-asws said: ‘One who has sciatic nerve pain should take fingernail clippings and tie these upon the place of the nerve, for it shall be beneficial by the Permission of Allah-azwj, the easy present benefit.
وَ إِذَا غَلَبَ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَ اشْتَدَّ ضَرَبَانُهُ يَأْخُذُ تِكَّتَيْنِ فَيَعْقِدُهُمَا وَ يَشُدُّ فِيهِمَا الْفَخِذَ الَّذِي بِهِ عِرْقُ النَّسَا مِنَ الْوَرِكِ إِلَى الْقَدَمِ شَدّاً شَدِيداً أَشَدَّ مَا يُقْدَرُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَكَادَ يُغْشَى عَلَيْهِ يُفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ بِهِ وَ هُوَ قَائِمٌ
And when it prevails upon its owner and strikes him severely, he should take linseed oil and bind them, tightening the thigh in which is the sciatic nerve pain, from the thigh to the foot, very tightly, as tightly as he is able upon, until he almost faints over it. That should be done with him while he is standing.
ثُمَّ يَعْمِدُ إِلَى بَاطِنِ خَصْرِ الْقَدَمِ الَّتِي فِيهَا الْوَجَعُ فَيَشُدُّهَا ثُمَّ يَعْصِرُهُ عَصْراً شَدِيداً فَإِنَّهُ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ دَمٌ أَسْوَدُ ثُمَّ يُحْشَى بِالْمِلْحِ وَ الزَّيْتِ فَإِنَّهُ يَبْرَأُ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ.
Then he should deliberate to the sole of the foot in which is the pain, and bind it, then he should squeeze it with severe squeezing, for black blood would come out from it. Then he should stuff with the salt and oil, for he would be cured by the Permission of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’’.[117]

(The book) ‘Tibb Al Aimma-asws’, may the greetings be upon them-asws – from Ahmad Bin Al Ays, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd,
‘From Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws grandfather-asws Al-Baqir‑asws having said: ‘For the wound, take fresh aloe and the like of it fat of a goat. Then take a new cloth or new bowl, and coat it’s surface with the aloe, then place it upon a piece (portion) of milk and make it to be under the soft fire in what is between beginning (of the day) to late afternoon.
ثُمَّ تَأْخُذُ كَتَّاناً بَالِياً وَ تَضَعُهُ عَلَى يَدِكَ وَ تَطْلِي الْقِيرَ عَلَيْهِ وَ تَطْلِيهِ عَلَى الْجُرْحِ وَ لَوْ كَانَ الْجُرْحُ لَهُ قَعْرٌ كَبِيرٌ فَافْتَلَّ الْكَتَّانَ وَ صُبَّ الْقِيرَ فِي الْجُرْحِ صَبّاً ثُمَّ دُسَّ فِيهِ الْفَتِيلَةَ.
Then take worn out rag and place it upon your hand and coat the aloe upon it and coat it upon the injury (wound). And if the wound has a large bottom for it, then twirl the rag and pour the aloe in the wound with a pouring, then insert the wick in it’’.[118]
2- دَعَوَاتُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الطَّالَقَانِيِّ قَالَ: مَرِضَ الْمُتَوَكِّلُ مِنْ خُرَاجٍ خَرَجَ بِهِ فَأَشْرَفَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ فَلَمْ يَجْسُرْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَمَسَّهُ بِحَدِيدَةٍ فَنَذَرَتْ أُمُّهُ إِنْ عُوفِيَ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْعَسْكَرِيِّ ع مَالًا جَلِيلًا مِنْ مَالِهَا
(The book) ‘Dawaat’ of Al Rawandy – From Ali Bin Ibrahim Al Talaqany who said,
‘Al-Mutawakkil (the caliph) became sick from an abscess which had emerged with him. He overlooked upon the death, but no one had the courage to touch it with an iron. His mother vowed that if he were to recover, she would carry majestic wealth to Abu Al-Hassan Al Askari -asws from her own wealth.
فَقَالَ الْفَتْحُ بْنُ خَاقَانَ لِلْمُتَوَكِّلِ لَوْ بَعَثْتَ إِلَى هَذَا الرَّجُلِ يَعْنِي أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع فَسَأَلْتَهُ فَإِنَّهُ رُبَّمَا كَانَ عِنْدَهُ صِفَةُ شَيْءٍ يُفَرِّجُ اللَّهُ بِهِ عَنْكَ فَقَالَ ابْعَثُوا إِلَيْهِ
Al-Fat’h Bin Khaqan said to Al-Mutawakkil, ‘If you could send (a message) to this man’ – meaning Abu Al-Hassan-asws – ‘and ask him-asws, perhaps there would be something in his-asws possession a description Allah-azwj would Relieve you by it’. He said, ‘Send (a message) to him-asws!’
فَمَضَى الرَّسُولُ وَ رَجَعَ وَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع خُذُوا كُسْبَ الْغَنَمِ وَ دِيفُوهُ بِمَاءِ الْوَرْدِ وَ ضَعُوهُ عَلَى الْخُرَاجِ فَإِنَّهُ نَافِعٌ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ
The messenger went and returned, and said, ‘Abu Al-Hassan-asws said: ‘Take dung of the sheep and drench it in the rose water and place it upon the wound, for it shall benefit by the Permission of Allah-azwj’’.
فَجَعَلَ مَنْ بِحَضْرَةِ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ يَهْزَأُ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ الْفَتْحُ وَ مَا يَضُرُّ مِنْ تَجْرِبَةِ مَا قَالَ فَوَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو الصَّلَاحَ
The ones in the presence of Al-Mutawakkil went on to mock at his-asws words. Al-Fat’h said to them, ‘And it will not harm from trying what he-asws has said, for by Allah-azwj! I am hoping for the good health by it’.
فَأُحْضِرَ الْكُسْبُ وَ دِيفَ بِمَاءِ الْوَرْدِ وَ وُضِعَ عَلَى الْخُرَاجِ فَانْفَتَحَ وَ خَرَجَ مَا كَانَ فِيهِ وَ بُشِّرَتْ أُمُّ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ بِعَافِيَتِهِ فَحَمَلَتْ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع عَشَرَةَ آلَافِ دِينَارٍ تَحْتَ خَتْمِهَا وَ اسْتَقَلَّ الْمُتَوَكِّلُ مِنْ عِلَّتِهِ.
So the dung was presented and drenched with the rose water and placed upon the wound. It opened up and expelled whatever was in it, and the mother of Al-Mutawakkil rejoiced. She carried over to Abu Al-Hassan-asws, then thousand Dinars under her insignia, and Al-Mutawakkil fully recovered from his illness’’.[119]

Note: I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It’s complete (version) in the chapter on his-asws history (Volume 50)’.

Explanation: The intent by the dung (Al-Kusb) is what is collected beneath the legs of the sheep from their dung.

(The book) ‘Al Ilal’ of Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Ibrahim –
‘The illness of smallpox – When the Ethiopians came with the elephant in order to demolish the Kabah with it, Allah-azwj Sent flocks of birds upon them. There were three stones (pebbles) with each bird – two in its claws and a stone in its beak. They had thrown them, and it had fallen upon their head and came out from their backs until they died. And the ones from them who were in the world were afflicted with the smallpox and their bodies swelled up and grew until they perished. So this, it is the smallpox. Then the people begot from it’’.[120]

(The book) ‘Majma Al Bayan’ – He said, ‘It is reported by Al Wahidy, by his chain from Sahl Bin Sa’ad Al Saidy who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-azwj went out on the day of Ohad and his-saww front teeth were broken, and his‑saww helmet was shattered upon his-saww head, and his-saww daughter-asws Fatima-asws had washed the blood away from him-saww, and Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws poured the water upon it with the shield. When Fatima-asws saw that the water is not increasing (treatment) of the blood except making it more, she-asws took a piece of (straw) mat, burnt it until it became ashes. She-asws adhered it to him-saww, and the blood withheld’’.[121]

He-asws said: ‘Take milky dry honey and roots of Tanacetum, ten ounces from each one, and two ounces from Cuscuta, pounding each one of that to a limit, and sieving with silk or a narrow rag apart from the Cuscuta, for it is not needy to be sieved, but pounded into fine powder, and knead the entirety with honey having removed the froth, and the drink from it is of two ounces when retiring to his bed, with lukewarm water’’.[122]

‘I saw a wet-nurse of Abu Al-Hassan-asws feeding him-asws a morsel of rise and hitting him-asws upon it. That saddened me, so I entered to see Abu Abdullah-asws. He-asws said: ‘I-asws reckon your sadness is from which you saw from the wet-nurse of Abu Al-Hassan-asws?’ I said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for you-asws!’

فَقَالَ لَا وَ لَا جُرْعَةً قُلْتُ لِمَ
He-asws said: ‘No, and not even a single dose!’ I said, ‘Why (not)?’

Take white leek and cut off its white head and do not wash it, and cut it into small (pieces), and take hump seed and melt it, and throw it upon the leek. Take ten walnuts, peel them and powder them along with Persian cheese the weight of ten Dirhams, and boil the leek.

Eat it with the bread upon the empty stomach for three days or seven, and stave off from other foods, and take a little roasted serving with bread, and peeled walnuts after the hump seeds and the leek, taking it upon the Name of Allah-azwj, half an ounce of the sesame oil upon the empty stomach, and an ounce of male frankincense, powdering it and crushing it, and after it take another half an ounce of sesame oil for three days, and delay your eating up to after the midday, you shall be cured if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires’’.[127]

قُلْتُ كَذَلِكَ يَا سَيِّدِي وَ مَوْلَايَ قَالَ إِنَّ بَوَاسِيرَكَ إِنَاثٌ تَشْخُبُ الدِّمَاءَ
I said, ‘It is like that, O my chief and my Master-asws!’ He-asws said: ‘Your haemorrhoids are female, flowing the blood’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ صَدَقْتَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘You-asws speak the truth, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww!’
قَالَ عَلَيْكَ بِشَمْعٍ وَ دُهْنِ زَنْبَقٍ وَ لُبْنَى عَسَلٍ وَ سُمَّاقٍ وَ سَرْوِ كَتَّانٍ اجْمَعْهُ فِي مِغْرَفَةٍ عَلَى النَّارِ فَإِذَا اخْتَلَطَ فَخُذْ مِنْهُ قَدْرَ حِمَّصَةٍ فَالْطَخْ بِهَا الْمَقْعَدَةَ تَبْرَأْ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى
He-asws said: ‘Upon you is with wax, and lily oil, and milky honey, and Sumac, and cypress flax. Collect it in a ladle upon the fire. When it is mixed, take from it a measurement of a chickpea and cover your sitting area, you will be cured by the Permission of Allah-azwj the Exalted’.
قَالَ الْجَرِيرِيُّ فَوَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ مَا فَعَلْتُهُ إِلَّا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً حَتَّى بَرَأَ مَا كَانَ بِي فَمَا حَسِسْتُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِدَمٍ وَ لَا وَجَعٍ
Al-Jareeri said, ‘By Allah-azwj the One-azwj Who, there is no god except He-azwj! I did not do it except once until I was cured of whatever had been with me. I neither felt any blood after that nor any pain’.
قَالَ الْجَرِيرِيُّ فَعُدْتُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ قَابِلٍ فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ قَدْ بَرِئْتَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ شُعَيْبَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ بَوَاسِيرُهُ لَيْسَتْ كَمَا كَانَتْ بِكَ إِنَّهَا ذُكْرَانٌ
Al-Jareeri said, ‘I sat to him-asws the following years. He-asws said to me: ‘O Abu Is’haq! You have been cured, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj!’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Yes’. He-asws said: ‘But, Shueyb Bin Is’haq, his haemorrhoids weren’t like what they were with you. It was masculine (male)’.
فَقَالَ قُلْ لَهُ لِيَأْخُذْ بَلَاذُراً فَيَجْعَلُهَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ وَ لْيَحْفِرْ حَفِيرَةً وَ لْيَخْرِقْ آجُرَّةً فَيَثْقُبُ فِيهَا ثُقْبَةً ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُ تِلْكَ الْبَلَاذُرَ عَلَى النَّارِ وَ يَجْعَلُ الْآجُرَّةَ عَلَيْهَا وَ لْيَقْعُدْ عَلَى الْآجُرَّةِ وَ لْيَجْعَلِ الثُّقْبَةَ حِيَالَ الْمَقْعَدَةِ
He-asws said: ‘Tell him to take cashew nuts. Make these to be in three segments, and let him dig a hole, and let him take a baked brick and puncture a hole in it, then make those cashew nuts to be upon the fire, and make the brick to be upon it, and let it ignite upon the brick, and let him place the hole to be facing the backside.
فَإِذَا ارْتَفَعَ الْبُخَارُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَصَابَهُ حَرَارَةٌ فَلْيَكُنْ هُوَ يَعُدُّ مَا يَجِدُ فَإِنَّهُ رُبَّمَا كَانَتْ خَمْسَةَ ثَآلِيلَ إِلَى سَبْعَةِ ثَآلِيلَ فَإِنْ ذَابَتْ وَ أَتَتْهُ فَلْيَقْلَعْهَا وَ يَرْمِ بِهَا وَ إِلَّا فَلْيَجْعَلِ الثَّالِثَ مِنَ الْبَلَاذُرِ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنَّهُ يَقْلَعُهَا بِأُصُولِهَا ثُمَّ لْيَأْخُذِ الْمَرْهَمَ الشَّمْعَ وَ دُهْنَ الزَّنْبَقِ وَ لُبْنَى عَسَلٍ وَ سَرْوَ كَتَّانٍ هَكَذَا
When the steam rises to it, the heat will hit it, so let him be the counter of what he feels, for sometimes it could be five warts up to seven warts. Let him pluck these out and throw them, or else let him make the third of the brick to be upon it, for it would uproot it by its roots. Then, let him take the wax as ointment and lily oil, and milky honey, and cypress flax, like that’.
قَالَ وَصَفْتُ لَكَ لِلذُّكْرَانِ فَلْيَجْمَعْهُ عَلَى مَا ذَكَرْتُ هَاهُنَا لِيَطْلِيَ بِهِ الْمَقْعَدَةَ فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ طَلْيَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ
He-asws said: ‘I-asws have described to you of the masculine (male), so let him gather it based upon what I-asws have mentioned over here in order to cover the sitting area with it, for rather it is one coating’.
فَرَجَعْتُ فَوَصَفْتُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَعَمِلَهُ فَبَرَأَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنْ قَابِلٍ حَجَجْتُ فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ أَخْبِرْنَا بِخَبَرِ شُعَيْبٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ الَّذِي قَدِ اصْطَفَاكَ عَلَى الْبَشَرِ وَ جَعَلَكَ حُجَّةً فِي الْأَرْضِ مَا طَلَى بِهَا إِلَّا طَلْيَةً وَاحِدَةً.
I returned and described that to him. He did so and was cured by the Permission of Allah-azwj the Exalted. When it was the following year, I went to Hajj. He-asws said to me: ‘O Abu Is’haq! Inform us-asws with the news of Shueyb’. I said to him-asws, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! By the One-azwj Who has Chosen you-asws over the mortals and Made you-asws a Divine Authority in the earth! He did not coat with it except one coating (until he was cured)’’.[128]
6- الطب، طب الأئمة عليهم السلام عَنْ أَبِي الْفَوَارِسِ بْنِ غَالِبِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ فَارِسٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ الْبَصْرِيِّ عَنْ مُعَمَّرِ بْنِ خَلَّادٍ قَالَ: كَانَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع كَثِيراً مَا يَأْمُرُنِي بِأَخْذِ هَذَا الدَّوَاءِ وَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ فِيهِ مَنَافِعَ كَثِيرَةً وَ لَقَدْ جَرَّبْتُهُ فِي الرِّيَاحِ وَ الْبَوَاسِيرِ
(The book) ‘Tibb Al Aimma-asws’, may the greetings be upon him-asws – from Abu Al Fawaris Bin Ghalid Bin Muhammad Bin Faris, from Ahmad Bin Hammad Al Basry, from Muammar Bin Khallad who said,
‘Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws used to frequently instruct me with taking this medication, and he-asws would say: ‘There are a lot of benefits in it, and I-asws have tried it regarding the winds and the haemorrhoids.
فَلَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا خَالَفَ تَأْخُذُ هَلِيلَجَ أَسْوَدَ وَ بَلِيلَجَ وَ أَمْلَجَ أَجْزَاءً سَوَاءً فَتَدُقُّهُ وَ تَنْخُلُهُ بِحَرِيرَةٍ ثُمَّ تَأْخُذُ مِثْلَهُ لَوْزاً أَزْرَقَ وَ هُوَ عِنْدَ الْعِرَاقِيِّينَ مُقْلٌ أَزْرَقُ فَتَنْقَعُ اللَّوْزَ فِي مَاءِ الْكُرَّاثِ حَتَّى يُمَاثَ فِيهِ ثَلَاثِينَ لَيْلَةً
So no, by Allah-azwj! You should not stay being from taking black ellipse, and Ylang, and Phyllanthus in equal segments. Powder it and sieve it with silk (cloth). Then take the like of it in blue almonds, and it is (known) with the Iraqis as ‘Muqal Azraq’ (Guggal Dhoop sticks). Soak the almonds in water of the leek until three nights pass by in it.
ثُمَّ تَطْرَحُ عَلَيْهَا هَذِهِ الْأَدْوِيَةَ وَ تَعْجِنُهَا عَجْناً شَدِيداً حَتَّى يَخْتَلِطَ ثُمَّ تَجْعَلُهُ حَبّاً مِثْلَ الْعَدَسِ وَ تَدْهُنُ يَدَيْكَ بِالْبَنَفْسَجِ أَوْ دُهْنِ خِيرِيٍّ أَوْ شَيْرَجٍ لِئَلَّا يَلْتَزِقَ ثُمَّ تُجَفِّفُهُ فِي الظِّلِّ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي الصَّيْفِ أَخَذْتَ مِنْهُ مِثْقَالًا وَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي الشِّتَاءِ مِثْقَالَيْنِ وَ احْتَمِ مِنَ السَّمَكِ وَ الْخَلِّ وَ الْبَقْلِ فَإِنَّهُ مُجَرَّبٌ.
Then drop these medicines upon it and knead it with severe kneading until it is mixed. Then make it as seeds like the chickpeas and oil your hand with the violet oil, or (some) good oil, or sesame oil let it sticks, dry it in the shade. If it was during the summer, one ounce would be taken from it, or if it was during the winter, two ounces, and stay away from the fish, and the vinegar, and the vegetables, for it has been tried (experimented with)’’.[129]
7- الْكَافِي، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ الصِّبْيَانَ
(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – By his chain from Umar Bin Yazeed who said,
‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws, and there was a man with him-asws. He said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! I love the children’.
فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَتَصْنَعُ مَا ذَا فَقَالَ أَحْمِلُهُمْ عَلَى ظَهْرِي
Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘So what is that you do?’ He said, ‘I carry them upon my back!’
فَوَضَعَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَدَهُ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ وَ وَلَّى وَجْهَهُ عَنْهُ فَبَكَى الرَّجُلُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع كَأَنَّهُ رَحِمَهُ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَتَيْتَ بَلَدَكَ فَاشْتَرِ جَزُوراً سَمِيناً وَ اعْقِلْهُ عِقَالًا شَدِيداً وَ خُذِ السَّيْفَ فَاضْرِبِ السَّنَامَ ضَرْبَةً تَقْشِرُ عَنْهُ الْجِلْدَةَ وَ اجْلِسْ عَلَيْهِ بِحَرَارَتِهِ
Abu Abdullah-asws placed his-asws hand upon his-asws forehead and turn his-asws face away from him. The man cried. Abu Abdullah-asws looked at him as if he-asws was pitying him. He-asws said: ‘When you go to your city, then buy a fat camel and tie it with a strong tying, and take the sword and strike the hump with a strike, peeling the skin from it, and sit upon it with it’s heat’.
فَقَالَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَتَيْتُ بَلَدِي وَ اشْتَرَيْتُ جَزُوراً وَ عَقَلْتُهُ عِقَالًا شَدِيداً وَ أَخَذْتُ السَّيْفَ فَضَرَبْتُ بِهِ السَّنَامَ ضَرْبَةً وَ قَشَرْتُ عَنْهُ الْجِلْدَ وَ جَلَسْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِحَرَارَتِهِ فَسَقَطَ مِنِّي عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْبَعِيرِ شِبْهُ الْوَزَغِ أَصْغَرُ مِنَ الْوَزَغِ وَ سَكَنَ مَا بِي.
Umar said, ‘The man said, ‘I came to my city and bought a camel and tied it with a strong tying, and I took the sword and struck the hump with it with a strike, and peeled off the skin from it, and sat upon it with its heat. There fell from me upon the back of the camel something resembling the lizard, smaller than the lizard, and it settled what was with me’’.[130]
باب 72 ما يدفع البلغم و الرطوبات و اليبوسة و ما يوجب شيئا من ذلك و الفالج
CHAPTER 72 – WHAT REPELS THE PHLEGM, AND THE WETNESS, AND THE DRYNESS, AND WHAT OBLIGES ANYTHING FROM THAT, AND THE HEMIPLEGIA (PARTIAL PARALYSIS)
1 الْمَحَاسِنُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَمُّونٍ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع أَنَّ بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِنَا يَشْكُو الْبَخَرَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ كُلِ التَّمْرَ الْبَرْنِيَّ
(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – From Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Shamoun who said,
‘I wrote to Abu Al-Hassan-asws, ‘One of our companions is complaining of the halitosis (bad breath)’. He-asws wrote to him: ‘Eat Al-Barny dates’.
وَ كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ آخَرُ يَشْكُو يُبْساً فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ كُلِ التَّمْرَ الْبَرْنِيَّ عَلَى الرِّيقِ وَ اشْرَبْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ فَفَعَلَ فَسَمِنَ وَ غَلَبَتْ عَلَيْهِ الرُّطُوبَةُ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ يَشْكُو ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ كُلِ التَّمْرَ الْبَرْنِيَّ عَلَى الرِّيقِ وَ لَا تَشْرَبْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ فَاعْتَدَلَ.
And another one wrote to him-asws complaining of dryness. He-asws wrote to him: ‘Eat Al-Barny dates and drink the water upon it’. He did so. He became fat and the wetness prevailed upon him. So he wrote to him-asws complaining of that. He-asws wrote to him: ‘Eat Al-Barny dates upon the empty stomach, and do not drink the water upon it’. He was balanced (healthy)’’.[131]
2- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: خَيْرُ تُمُورِكُمُ الْبَرْنِيُّ يَذْهَبُ بِالدَّاءِ وَ لَا دَاءَ فِيهِ وَ يُشْبِعُ وَ يَذْهَبُ بِالْبَلْغَمِ وَ مَعَ كُلِّ تَمْرَةٍ حَسَنَةٌ.
And from him, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Amro Bin Usman, from Abu Amro, from a man,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The best of your dates is Al-Barny. It does away with the illness, and there is no illness in it, and it satiates and does away with the phlegm, and there is goodness with every date’’.[132]
3- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ يَاسِرٍ الْخَادِمِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ: الْبِطِّيخُ عَلَى الرِّيقِ يُورِثُ الْفَالِجَ.
And from him, from Yasser Al Khadim,
‘From Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws having said: ‘(Eating) the melon upon the empty stomach inherits the partial paralysis (hemiplegia)’’.[133]
4- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ وَ أَبِي يُوسُفَ عَنِ الْقَنْدِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ وَ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: السِّوَاكُ وَ قِرَاءَةُ الْقُرْآنِ مَقْطَعَةٌ لِلْبَلْغَمِ.
And from him, from Abu Al Qasim and Abu Yusuf, from Al Qandy, from Ibn Sinan, and Abu Al Bakhtary,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Brushing the teeth and reciting the Quran is a termination for the phlegm’’.[134]
5- الطب، طب الأئمة عليهم السلام عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ السَّيْرَافِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ وَ الْمُعَلَّى بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ قَالا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع تَسْرِيحُ الْعَارِضَيْنِ يَشُدُّ الْأَضْرَاسَ وَ تَسْرِيحُ اللِّحْيَةِ يَذْهَبُ بِالْوَبَاءِ وَ تَسْرِيحُ الذُّؤَابَتَيْنِ يَذْهَبُ بِبَلَابِلِ الصَّدْرِ وَ تَسْرِيحُ الْحَاجِبَيْنِ أَمَانٌ مِنَ الْجُذَامِ وَ تَسْرِيحُ الرَّأْسِ يَقْطَعُ الْبَلْغَمَ
(The book) ‘Tibb Al Aimma-ra’, may the greetings be upon them-asws – from Tameem Bin Ahmad Al Sayrafi, from Muhammad Bin Khalid Al Barqy, from Ali Bin Al Numan, from Dawood Bin Farqad and Al Moalla Bin Khuneys who both said,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Combing the two sides (of the cheeks) strengthens the molars and combing of the bear does away with the epidemic, and combing the two plaits (of hair) does away with the anxiety of the chest, and combing the two eyebrows is safety from the leprosy, and combing the head cuts the phlegm’.
قَالَ ثُمَّ وَصَفَ دَوَاءَ الْبَلْغَمِ وَ قَالَ خُذْ جُزْءاً مِنْ عِلْكِ الرُّومِيِّ وَ جُزْءاً مِنْ كُنْدُرٍ وَ جُزْءاً مِنْ سَعْتَرٍ وَ جُزْءاً مِنْ نَانْخَواهَ وَ جُزْءاً مِنْ شُونِيزٍ أَجْزَاءً سَوَاءً يُدَقُّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى حِدَةٍ دَقّاً نَاعِماً ثُمَّ يُنْخَلُ وَ يُعْجَنُ وَ يُجْمَعُ وَ يُسْحَقُ حَتَّى يَخْتَلِطَ ثُمَّ تَجْمَعُهُ بِالْعَسَلِ وَ تَأْخُذُ مِنْهُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَيْلَةٍ بُنْدُقَةً عِنْدَ الْمَنَامِ نَافِعٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he-asws described a cure for the phlegm and said: ‘Take a portion of Roman gum, and a portion of frankincense, and a portion of thyme, and a portion of carom pods, and a portion of cumin, equal portions. Power each one upon a limit of pounding to fine power, then sieve, and knead, and gather, and crush until it is mingled. Then gather it with the honey and take from it during every day and night with hazelnuts at sleep time. You shall benefit if Allah-azwj so Desires’’.[135]
6- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ الْيَمَانِيِّ عَنِ الطَّرَيَانِيِّ عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْقَمَّاطِ قَالَ: أَمْلَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُوسَى الرِّضَا ع هَذِهِ الْأَدْوِيَةَ لِلْبَلْغَمِ قَالَ تَأْخُذُ إِهْلِيلَجَ أَصْفَرَ وَزْنَ مِثْقَالٍ وَ مِثْقَالَيْنِ خَرْدَلَ وَ مِثْقَالَ عَاقِرْقِرْحَا فَتَسْحَقُهُ سَحْقاً نَاعِماً وَ تَسْتَاكُ بِهِ عَلَى الرِّيقِ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْفِي الْبَلْغَمَ وَ يُطَيِّبُ النَّكْهَةَ وَ يَشُدُّ الْأَضْرَاسَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
And from it, from Abdullah Bin Masoud Al Yamani, from Al Taryani, from Khalid Al Qammat who said,
‘Ali-asws Bin Musa Al-Reza-asws dictated to me this medication for the phlegm. He-asws said: ‘Yellow ellipsoid the weight of an ounce, and two ounces of mustard, and an ounce of pyrethrum flowers. Crush it with a fine crushing and brush your teeth with it upon the empty stomach, for it would negate the phlegm, and make the aroma good, and strengthen the teeth, if Allah-azwj so Desires’’.[136]
7- الطب، طب الأئمة عليهم السلام عَنْ حَرِيزِ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ الْجُرْجَانِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ: قِرَاءَةُ الْقُرْآنِ وَ السِّوَاكُ وَ البان [اللُّبَانُ] مَنْقَاةٌ لِلْبَلْغَمِ.
(The book) ‘Tibb Al Aimma-asws’, the greetings be upon them-asws – from Hareyz Bin Ayoub Al Jurjany, from Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Muhammad Bin Is’haq, from Ammar Al Nowfaly,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws raising it to Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘Recitation of the Quran, and brushing the teeth, and the frankincense is a terminator of the phlegm’’.[137]
8- وَ يُرْوَى عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ دَخَلَ الْحَمَّامَ عَلَى الرِّيقِ أَنْقَى الْبَلْغَمَ وَ إِنْ دَخَلْتَهُ بَعْدَ الْأَكْلِ أَنْقَى الْمِرَّةَ وَ إِنْ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ يَزِيدَ فِي لَحْمِكَ فَادْخُلِ الْحَمَّامَ عَلَى شِبَعِكَ وَ إِنْ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ لَحْمِكَ فَادْخُلْهُ عَلَى الرِّيقِ.
And it is reported from Al-Sadiq-asws having said; ‘One who enters the bathhouse upon the empty stomach, would clear the phlegm, and if you were to enter it after the eating, it would clear the bitterness, and if you want an increase in your flesh, then enter the bathhouse upon your satiation, and if you want to reduce from your flesh, then enter it upon the empty stomach’’.[138]
9- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ عَنْ دَاوُدَ الرَّقِّيِّ قَالَ: شَكَا رَجُلٌ إِلَى مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ع الرُّطُوبَةَ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ التَّمْرَ الْبَرْنِيَّ عَلَى الرِّيقِ وَ لَا يَشْرَبَ الْمَاءَ فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَذَهَبَتْ عَنْهُ الرُّطُوبَةُ وَ أَفْرَطَ عَلَيْهِ الْيُبْسُ فَشَكَا ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ التَّمْرَ الْبَرْنِيَّ وَ يَشْرَبَ الْمَاءَ فَفَعَلَ فَاعْتَدَلَ.
And from him, from Salim Bin Ibrahim, from Al Daylami, from Dawood Al Raqqy who said,
‘A man complained to Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws of the wetness, so he-asws instructed him to eat Al-Barny dates upon the empty stomach and not drink the water (upon it).

‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, from Abu Al-Hassan-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws was asked about the predominant fever. He-asws said: ‘Take the honey and the black cumin and like from it three licks from it, for it would be uprooted, and they are both Blessed. And Allah-azwj the Exalted Said regarding the honey: There comes out from their bellies a drink of different colours wherein is healing for the people. [16:69].
وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي الْحَبَّةِ السَّوْدَاءِ شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِلَّا السَّامَ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ مَا السَّامُ قَالَ الْمَوْتُ
And Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘In the black seed, there is a healing from every illness except the poison (death)’. It was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! And what is the poison?’ He-saww said: ‘The death!’’

He-asws said: ‘And these two (honey and black seed) neither incline towards the heat and the cold, nor to the natures, but rather these are a healing wherever they occur’’.[191]
4- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْلَى بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو عَنْ ذَرِيحٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ فِي بَطْنِي قراقرا [قَرَاقِرَ] وَ وَجَعاً قَالَ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنَ الْحَبَّةِ السَّوْدَاءِ فَإِنَّ فِيهَا شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِلَّا السَّامَ.

5- وَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي هَذِهِ الْحَبَّةِ السَّوْدَاءِ إِنَّ فِيهَا شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِلَّا السَّامَ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ مَا السَّامُ قَالَ الْمَوْتُ.

And from Zurara Bin Ayn who said,
‘I heard Abu Ja’far-asws and he-asws had been asked about the words of Rasool-Allah-saww regarding the black seeds, so Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Yes, Rasool-Allah-saww did say that and he-saww had made and exclusion in it. He-saww had said: ‘Except the poison (death)’. But shall I-asws point you upon what is more far-reaching that it and the Prophet-saww did not make any exclusion in it?’
قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ الدُّعَاءُ يَرُدُّ الْقَضَاءَ وَ قَدْ أُبْرِمَ إِبْرَاماً وَ الصَّدَقَةُ تُطْفِئُ الْغَضَبَ وَ ضَمَّ أَصَابِعَهُ.
I said, ‘Yes, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww!’ He-asws said: ‘The supplication returns the Decreed (afflictions) and (although) it would have been concluded with a conclusion, and the charity extinguishes the Wrath (of Allah-azwj)’ – and he-asws joined his-asws fingers’’.[194]
بيان كأن ضمّ الأصابع تأكيد فعليّ للإبرام.
Explanation – It is as if pressing of the fingers in an emphasis: ‘Upon me-asws is the conclusion’.
7- الْمَكَارِمُ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْحَبَّةَ السَّوْدَاءَ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِلَّا السَّامَ فَقُلْتُ وَ مَا السَّامُ قَالَ الْمَوْتُ
(The book) ‘Al Makarim’ –
He said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘These black seeds, there is a healing in it from every illness except the poison (death)’. I said, ‘And what is the poison?’ He-saww said: ‘The death!’
قُلْتُ وَ مَا الْحَبَّةُ السَّوْدَاءُ فَقَالَ الشُّونِيزُ قُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ
I said, ‘And what are the black seeds?’ He-asws said: The cumin’. I said, ‘And how shall I deal with it?’
قَالَ تَأْخُذُ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ حَبَّةً فَتَجْعَلُهَا فِي خِرْقَةٍ وَ تَنْقَعُهَا فِي الْمَاءِ لَيْلَةً فَإِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ قَطَّرْتَ فِي الْمَنْخِرِ الْأَيْمَنِ قَطْرَةً وَ فِي الْأَيْسَرِ قَطْرَةً فَإِذَا كَانَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي قَطَّرْتَ فِي الْأَيْمَنِ قَطْرَتَيْنِ وَ فِي الْأَيْسَرِ قَطْرَةً فَإِذَا كَانَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثُ قَطَّرْتَ فِي الْأَيْمَنِ قَطْرَةً وَ فِي الْأَيْسَرِ قَطْرَتَيْنِ تُخَالِفُ بَيْنَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ
He-asws said: ‘Take twenty-one seeds and make these to be in a rag and soak it in the water at night. When it was morning, drop one drop in the right nostril and one drop in the left. When it would be the second day, drop two drops in the right and one drop in the left. When it would be during the third day, drop one drop in the right and two drops in the left, interchanging between the two for three days’.
قَالَ سَعْدٌ وَ تُجَدِّدُ الْحَبَّ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ.
Sa’ad said, ‘And you should renew the seeds during every day’’.[195]
8- وَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: الْحَبَّةُ السَّوْدَاءُ شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ وَ هِيَ حَبِيبَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص
And from Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘The black seeds are a healing from every illness, and these are beloved of Rasool-Allah-saww’.
فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهَا الْحَرْمَلُ قَالَ لَا هِيَ الشُّونِيزُ فَلَوْ أَتَيْتُ أَصْحَابَهُ فَقُلْتُ أَخْرِجُوا إِلَيَّ حَبِيبَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَأَخْرَجُوا إِلَيَّ الشُّونِيزَ.
It was said to him-asws, ‘The people are claiming that it is the rue!’ He-asws said: ‘No, it is the cumin. If I were to come to his-saww companions, I-asws would say, ‘Bring out to me the beloved of Rasool-Allah-saww!’ They would have brought out the cumin to me-asws’’.[196]
9- عَنِ الْفَضْلِ قَالَ: شَكَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنِّي أَلْقَى مِنَ الْبَوْلِ شِدَّةٌ فَقَالَ خُذْ مِنَ الشُّونِيزِ فِي آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ.
From Al Fazl who said,
‘I complained to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘I am facing severity from the urinating’. He-asws said; ‘Take from the cumin at the end of the night’’.[197]
10- عَنْهُ، ع قَالَ: إِنَّ فِي الشُّونِيزِ شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ فَأَنَا آخُذُهُ لِلْحُمَّى وَ الصُّدَاعِ وَ الرَّمَدِ وَ لِوَجَعِ الْبَطْنِ وَ لِكُلِّ مَا يَعْرِضُ لِي مِنَ الْأَوْجَاعِ يَشْفِينِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ.
From him-asws having said: ‘In the cumin there is healing from every illness. I-asws take it for the fever, and the headache, and the sore eyes, and for the abdominal pain, and for every pain presenting to me-asws, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Heals me-asws by it’’.[198]
11- الدَّعَائِمُ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي الْحَبَّةِ السَّوْدَاءِ قَالَ قَدْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ قِيلَ وَ مَا قَالَ قَالَ فِيهَا شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِلَّا السَّامَ يَعْنِي الْمَوْتَ
(The book) ‘Al Da’aim’ –
‘From Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws father-asws having been asked about the words of Rasool-Allah-saww regarding the black seeds. He-asws said; ‘He-saww had said that’. It was said, ‘And what had he-saww said?’ He-asws said: ‘He-saww had said there is a healing in it from every illness except the poison, meaning the death’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع لِلسَّائِلِ أَ لَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى مَا لَمْ يَسْتَثْنِ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ بَلَى
Then Abu Ja’far-asws said to the questioner: ‘Shall I-asws point you upon what Rasool-Allah-saww did not make any exclusions to be in it?’ He said, ‘Yes’.
قَالَ الدُّعَاءُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرُدُّ الْقَضَاءَ وَ قَدْ أُبْرِمَ إِبْرَاماً وَ ضَمَّ أَصَابِعَهُ مِنْ كَفَّيْهِ وَ جَمَعَهُمَا جَمِيعاً وَاحِدَةً إِلَى الْأُخْرَى الْخِنْصِرَ بِحِيَالِ الْخِنْصِرِ كَأَنَّهُ يُرِيكَ شَيْئاً.
He-asws said: ‘The supplication, for it repels the Decree (of afflictions), and it had already been concluded with a conclusion’ – and he-asws pressed his-asws fingers from his-asws palms and gathered them all as one up to the last pinkie facing the pinkie. It was as if he-asws was showing you something’’.[199]

From Ibn Abu Al Khazeyb who said,
‘My eyes had whitened, and I could not see anything with these. I saw Amir Al-Momineen‑asws in the dream. I said, ‘O my Master-asws! My eyes have been afflicted to what you see’. He-asws said, ‘Take the Jujube, pound it and apply in the eyes with it’.
فَأَخَذْتُ الْعُنَّابَ فَدَقَقْتُهُ بِنَوَاهُ وَ كَحَلْتُهَا فَانْجَلَتْ عَنْ عَيْنِي الظُّلْمَةُ وَ نَظَرْتُ أَنَا إِلَيْهَا إِذَا هِيَ صَحِيحَةٌ.
I took the Jujube, pounded it with its seeds and applied in the eyes with it. It polished the darkness away from my eyes and looked at it, and behold, it was healthy’’.[201]
2- قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع فَضْلُ الْعُنَّابِ عَلَى الْفَاكِهَةِ كَفَضْلِنَا عَلَى سَائِرِ النَّاسِ.
Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘Merit of the Jujube upon the fruits is like our-asws merit over rest of the people’’.[202]

قَالَ وَ أَمَّا اللُّبَانُ فَهُوَ مُخْتَارُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ ع مِنْ قَبْلِي وَ بِهِ كَانَتْ تَسْتَعِينُ مَرْيَمُ ع وَ لَيْسَ دُخَانٌ يَصْعَدُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ أَسْرَعَ مِنْهُ وَ هُوَ مَطْرَدَةُ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَ مَدْفَعَةٌ لِلْعَاهَةِ فَلَا يَفُوتَنَّكُمْ.
He-asws said: ‘As for the Frankincense, it is a choice of the Prophets-as from before me-asws, and by it was the help of Maryam-as, and there isn’t any vapour ascending to the sky quicker than it, and it is a repeller of the Satans-la, and a repellent of the disabilities, so do not let it be missed by you!’’[210]
5- الْفِرْدَوْسُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: مَنْ شَرِبَ الْحَرْمَلَ أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحاً كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِثْقَالًا لَاسْتَنَارَ الْحِكْمَةُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَ عُوفِيَ مِنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَ سَبْعِينَ دَاءً أَهْوَنُهُ الْجُذَامُ.
(The book) ‘Al Firdows’ –
‘From the Prophet-saww having said: ‘One who drinks the Rue (water) for forty mornings, one ounce every day, the wisdom would radiate in his heart and he would recover from seventy-two illnesses, the weakest of it being the leprosy’’.[211]
باب 85 السعد و الأشنان
CHAPTER 85 – THE CYPERUS AND THE HYSSOPUS
1- الْمَكَارِمُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ بِسْطَامَ قَالَ: أَخَذَنِي اللُّصُوصُ وَ جَعَلُوا فِي فَمِي الْفَالُوذَجَ حَتَّى نَضِجَ ثُمَّ حَشَوْهُ بِالثَّلْجِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَتَسَاقَطَتْ أَسْنَانِي وَ أَضْرَاسِي فَرَأَيْتُ الرِّضَا ع فِي النَّوْمِ فَشَكَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ قَالَ اسْتَعْمِلِ السُّعْدَ فَإِنَّ أَسْنَانَكَ تَنْبُتُ
(The book) ‘Al Makarim’ – From Ibrahim Bin Bistam who said,
‘The thieves seized me and made ‘Al-Falouzaj’ in my mouth until it matured, then they filed with the ice after that. So my (front) teeth and my molars fell off. I saw Al-Reza-asws in the dream and I complained to him-asws of that. He-asws said: ‘Utilise the Cyperus, so your teeth shall grow’.
فَلَمَّا حُمِلَ إِلَى خُرَاسَانَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ مَارٌّ بِنَا فَاسْتَقْبَلْتُهُ وَ سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ حَالِي وَ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ فِي الْمَنَامِ وَ أَمَرَنِي بِاسْتِعْمَالِ السُّعْدِ
When he-asws was taken to Khurasan, it reached me that he-asws is passing by us, so I received him-asws and greeted unto him-asws and mentioned my state to him-asws, and that I had seen him-asws in the dream and he-asws had instructed me with utilisation the Cyperus.
فَقَالَ وَ أَنَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ فِي الْيَقَظَةِ فَاسْتَعْمَلْتُهُ فَعَادَتْ إِلَيَّ أَسْنَانِي وَ أَضْرَاسِي كَمَا كَانَتْ.
He-asws said: ‘And I-asws am instructed you with it during the (your) wakefulness, so utilise it!’ My (front) teeth and my molars returned to me just as they had been’’.[212]
2- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ ع كَانَ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ بِالْأُشْنَانِ أَدْخَلَهُ فَاهُ فَتَطَاعَمَهُ ثُمَّ رَمَى بِهِ وَ قَالَ الْأُشْنَانُ رَدِيءٌ يُبْخِرُ الْفَمَ وَ يُصَفِّرُ اللَّوْنَ وَ يُضَعِّفُ الرُّكْبَتَيْنِ وَ أَنَا أُحِبُّهُ.
And from him,
‘From Al-Baqir-asws, it was so that whenever he-asws washed with the Hyssopus, inserted it in his-asws mouth, taste it and throw it, and he-asws said: ‘The Hyssopus is bad. It vapours the mouths, and pales the colour, and weakens the knees, and I-asws love it’’.[213]
بيان كأن المراد بالتطاعم المضغ و الحب لعله للمضغ و غسل الفم و المفاسد على الأكل.
Explanation – It is as if the intend with the tasting is the chewing, and the love is perhaps for the chewing and washing the mouth, and the disadvantages are upon the eating.
3- الْخِصَالُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرَّازِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ أَكْلُ الْأُشْنَانِ يُوهِنُ الرُّكْبَتَيْنِ وَ يُفْسِدُ مَاءَ الظَّهْرِ.
(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – From his father, from Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Attar, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Abu Abdullah Al Razy, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Al Hakam Bin Miskeen who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘Eating the Hyssopus weakens the knees and spoils the water of the back’’.[214]
4- الْمَحَاسِنُ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع قَالَ: أَكْلُ الْأُشْنَانِ يُبْخِرُ الْفَمَ.
(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – From Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Ahmad Bin Yazeed,
‘From Abu Al-Hassan-asws having said: ‘Eating the Hyssopus vapours the mouth’’.[215]
5- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع إِنَّا نَأْكُلُ الْأُشْنَانَ فَقَالَ كَانَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ ضَمَّ شَفَتَيْهِ وَ فِيهِ خِصَالٌ تُكْرَهُ إِنَّهُ يُورِثُ السِّلَّ وَ يَذْهَبُ بِمَاءِ الظَّهْرِ وَ يُوهِنُ الرُّكْبَتَيْنِ الْخَبَرَ.
And from him, from one of his companions, from Ja’far Bin Ibrahim Al Hazramy, from Sa’ad Bin Sa’ad who said,
‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan-asws, ‘We tend to eat the Hyssopus’. He-asws said: ‘It was so that whenever Abu Al-Hassan-asws washed (with it), would press his-asws lips, and there are characteristics in it he-asws disliked. It inherits the tuberculosis, and removes the water of the back, and weakens the knees’ – the Hadeeth’’.[216]
6- الْكَافِي، عَنِ الْعِدَّةِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الزِّبْرِقَانِ عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَزِيزٍ الْمُرَادِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ اتَّخِذُوا فِي أَسْنَانِكُمُ السُّعْدَ فَإِنَّهُ يُطَيِّبُ الْفَمَ وَ يَزِيدُ فِي الْجِمَاعِ.
(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – From the number, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Al-Hassan Bin Al Zirqn, from Al Fuzeyl Bin Usman, from Abu Uzeyr Al Murady who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘Take the Cyperus in your teeth for it would aromatise your mouth and increase in the (strength for) copulation’’.[217]
باب 86 الهليلج و الأملج و البليلج
CHAPTER 86 – THE MYROBALAN, AND THE LEAFFLOWER, AND THE TROPICAL ALMOND
1- الطب، طب الأئمة عليهم السلام عَنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ وَاضِحٍ وَ كَانَ يَخْدُمُ الْعَسْكَرِيَّ ع عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع قَالَ: لَوْ عَلِمَ النَّاسُ مَا فِي الْهَلِيلَجِ الْأَصْفَرِ لَاشْتَرَوْهَا بِوَزْنِهَا ذَهَباً
(The book) ‘Tibb Al Aimma-asws’, may the greetings be upon them-asws –
‘From Al-Musayyab Bin Wazih, and he used to serve Al-Askari-asws, from his-asws father, from his-asws grandfather-asws, from Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his‑asws grandfather-asws, from Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws having said: ‘If the people knew what is in the yellow Myrobalan, they would buy it for its weight in gold’.
وَ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ خُذْ هَلِيلَجَةً صَفْرَاءَ وَ سَبْعَ حَبَّاتِ فُلْفُلٍ وَ اسْحَقْهَا وَ انْخُلْهَا وَ اكْتَحِلْ بِهَا.
And he-asws said to a man from his-asws companions: ‘Take the yellow Myrobalan and seven seeds of pepper, and crush it and sieve it, and apply in the eyes with it’’.[218]
2- الْفِرْدَوْسُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: الْهَلِيلَجَةُ السَّوْدَاءُ مِنْ شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ.
(The book) ‘Al Firdows’ –
‘From the Prophet-saww having said: ‘The black Myrobalan is from the trees of Paradise’’.[219]
