Hadith 543
۞
14. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Dawud ibn Sarhan who has said the following
“Abu ‘Ubaydah al-Hadhdha’ died and I was in al-Madinah. Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), sent a dinar and said, ‘Buy with it hunut and take notice that hunut is camphor; however, do as people do.’ When I went, he (the Imam) sent a dinar and said, ‘Buy camphor with it.’”
14ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ سِرْحَانَ قَالَ
مَاتَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ الْحَذَّاءُ وَأَنَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) بِدِينَارٍ وَقَالَ اشْتَرِ بِهَذَا حَنُوطاً وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْحَنُوطَ هُوَ الْكَافُورُ وَلَكِنِ اصْنَعْ كَمَا يَصْنَعُ النَّاسُ قَالَ فَلَمَّا مَضَيْتُ أَتْبَعَنِي بِدِينَارٍ وَقَالَ اشْتَرِ بِهَذَا كَافُوراً.
