مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) وَ شَكَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ ضَعْفَ مَعِدَتِي فَقَالَ اشْرَبِ الْحَزَاءَ بِالْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ فَفَعَلْتُ فَوَجَدْتُ مِنْهُ مَا أُحِبُّ.

220. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from someone else, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Amro Bin Ibrahim who said: I asked Abu Ja’far (asws) and complained to him (asws) of a weak stomach, so he (asws) said: ‘Drink ‘الْحَزَاءَ’ Al-Haza’a with the cold water’. So I did it, and found what I liked’.

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلَ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ مِنَ الرِّيحِ الشَّابِكَةِ وَ الْحَامِ وَ الْإِبْرِدَةِ فِي الْمَفَاصِلِ تَأْخُذُ كَفَّ حُلْبَةٍ وَ كَفَّ تِينٍ يَابِسٍ تَغْمُرُهُمَا بِالْمَاءِ وَ تَطْبُخُهُمَا فِي قِدْرٍ نَظِيفَةٍ ثُمَّ تُصَفِّي ثُمَّ تُبَرِّدُ ثُمَّ تَشْرَبُهُ يَوْماً وَ تَغِبُّ يَوْماً حَتَّى تَشْرَبَ مِنْهُ تَمَامَ أَيَّامِكَ قَدْرَ قَدَحٍ رَوِيٍّ.

221. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from bakr Bin Saleh who said: I heard Abu Al-Hassan the First (asws) saying: ‘The one with wind (gastric trouble), and Al-Haam, and the coldness in the joints should take a handful of fenugreek (plant) and a handful of dry fig, soak these two in the water, and cook these two in a clean pot, then drain it, then cool it, then drink from it every other day until the completeness of your days the measurement of a cup’.

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فِيمَ يَخْتَلِفُ النَّاسُ قُلْتُ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الْحِجَامَةَ فِي يَوْمِ الثَّلَاثَاءِ أَصْلَحُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي وَ إِلَى مَا يَذْهَبُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ يَوْمُ الدَّمِ قَالَ فَقَالَ صَدَقُوا فَأَحْرَى أَنْ لَا يُهَيِّجُوهُ فِي يَوْمِهِ أَمَا عَلِمُوا أَنَّ فِي يَوْمِ الثَّلَاثَاءِ سَاعَةً مَنْ وَافَقَهَا لَمْ يَرْقَأْ دَمُهُ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ أَوْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ.

223. Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Jamhour, from Humraan who said: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘So in what do the people differ?’ I said, ‘They are alleging that the cupping (Al-Hajaamat) during the day of Tuesday is correct’. He (asws) said to me: ‘And to what (direction) are they going with regards to that?’ I said, ‘They are alleging that it is the day of the blood’. He (asws) said: ‘They are right. So it is more appropriate not to stir it in its day. But rather, know that during the day of Tuesday there is a particular time, if it coincides with it, his bleeding would not stop until he dies, or what Allah (azwj) so Desires’.

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْكُوفِيِّينَ عَنْ أَبِي عُرْوَةَ أَخِي شُعَيْبٍ أَوْ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ الْعَقَرْقُوفِيِّ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ (عليه السلام) وَ هُوَ يَحْتَجِمُ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ فِي الْحَبْسِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ هَذَا يَوْمٌ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ مَنِ احْتَجَمَ فِيهِ أَصَابَهُ الْبَرَصُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا يُخَافُ ذَلِكَ عَلَى مَنْ حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ فِي حَيْضِهَا.

224. A number from our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from a man from the people of Al-Kufa, from Abu Urwa the brother of Shuayb, or from Shuayb Al-Aqarqufy who said: I came up to Abu Al-Hassan (asws) the First (asws) whilst he (asws) was doing the cupping (Al-Hajaamat) on the day of Wednesday in the prison. So I said to him (asws), ‘This is the day for which the people say that the one who gets cupping (Al-Hajaamat) done would be struck by vitiligo (white patches on the body)’. He (asws) said: ‘But rather, the one who fears that is the one whose mother conceived him during her menstruation (Walud-ul-Haiz, the one would always be the enemy of Alye Mohammed (asws))’.

225. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Saleh Bin Uqba, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) having said: ‘Do not get cupping done during the day of Friday noon time, for the one who gets cupping done at noon during the day of Friday, if something were to happen to him, so he should not blame (anyone) except for himself’.

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُعَتِّبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ الدَّوَاءُ أَرْبَعَةٌ السَّعُوطُ وَ الْحِجَامَةُ وَ النُّورَةُ وَ الْحُقْنَةُ.

227. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Umar Bin Azina who said: A man complained to Abu Abdullah (asws) for the cough whilst I was present, so he (asws) said to him: ‘At your convenience, take something from ‘كَاشِمٍ’ lovage (plant) and similar amount of sugar, swallow it for one or two days’. Ibn Azina (the narrator) said, ‘I met the man after that, so he said, ‘I did not do it but once and it went (cured)’.

228. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Saeed Bin Janaah, from a man, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said that: ‘Musa Bin Imran (as) complained to his (as) Lord (azwj) the High about the moisture and the humidity. So Allah (azwj) the high Commanded that he (as) should take the myrobalan (fruit) and ‘Al-Balaylaj’ and ‘Al-Amlaj’, knead it in honey and take it’. Then Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘It has been named as ‘Al-Tarayfil’ among you’.

229. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from his brother Al-A’la, from Ismail Bin Al-Hassan Al-Mutabbab who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (asws), ‘I am a man from the Arabs and I have medicine for vision, and my medicine is the Arabic medicine, and I do not take gifts for it’. He (asws) said: ‘There is no problem’. I said, ‘I let the wound bleed and burn it by the fire’. He (asws) said: ‘There is no problem’. I said, ‘And my prescription are these toxins ‘Al-Asmahiqoun’ and ‘Al-Ghariqoun’’. He (asws) said: ‘There is no problem’. I said, ‘Sometimes the patient dies.' He (asws) said: ‘Even if he dies’. I said, ‘My prescription to him (the patient) is ‘Al-Nabeedh’ (Intoxicating drink)’. He (asws) said: ‘There is no healing in the Prohibited (things).' Once, Rasool Allah (saww) had complained, so Ayesha said to him (saww), ‘You (saww) have pleurisy’. So he (saww) said: ‘I (saww) am more honourable to Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic that He (azwj) would involve me (saww) with the pleurisy’. So he ordered patience.
