Hadith 108

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Is’haq, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, altogether from Sa’dan Bin Muslim, from one of our companions who said, ‘
When Abu Abdullah-asws proceeded to Al-Hira, he-asws rode his-asws animal, and went to Al-Khowrank. He-asws descended and took shade with the shadow of his-asws animal, and with him-asws was a black slave of his-asws. He-asws a man from the people of Al-Kufa who had bought a palm tree said to the slave: ‘Who is this one? ’ He said to him, ‘This is Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws’. He came with a huge platter (of various dates) and placed it in front of him-asws. He-asws said to the man: ‘What is this? ’ He said, ‘This is Al-Barny (dates)’. He-asws said: ‘Therein is a healing’, and he-asws looked at Al-Sabiriyya (dates), he-asws said: ‘What is this? ’ He said, ‘Al-Sabiriyya’. He-asws said: ‘With us this is (called) Al-Bayz’. An he-asws said for Al-Mushan (dates): ‘What is this? ’ The man said, ‘Al-Mushan (dates)’. He-asws said: ‘This, with us is (called) Umm Jirzan’. And he-asws looked at Al-Safran, he-asws said: ‘What is this? ’ The man said, ‘Al-Sarfan’. So he-asws said: ‘With us it is (called) Al-Ajwa and therein is a healing’’. [136]
