Hadith 374

(The book) ‘Rijal’ of Al Kashy – Ahmad Bin Ali Bin Kulsoom, from Is’haq Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Shamoun – similar to it. [102]
And Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan said, ‘I faced difficulty from an illness of my eye. I wrote to Abu Muahmmad-asws asking him-asws to supplicate for me. When the letter was dispatched, I said within myself, ‘If only I had asked him-asws to prescribe Kohl for me I could be applying with. It arrived with his-asws handwriting, supplicating for me with its safety, when one of them had gone. And he-asws wrote after it: ‘You wanted me-asws to prescribe a Kohl for you. Upon you is with being patient with emollient camphor, and zinc, for it would polish what is in it from the membrane and dry up the moisture’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I utilised what he-asws had instructed me with, and I was healthy, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj’’. [103]
