Hadith 12743ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ مَنْ أَكَلَ زَعْفَرَاناً مُتَعَمِّداً أَوْ طَعَاماً فِيهِ طِيبٌ فَعَلَيْهِ دَمٌ فَإِنْ كَانَ نَاسِياً فَلا شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
3. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘If one in the state of Ihram eats saffron knowingly or food in which there is perfume, he must slaughter one animal as offering. If it is due to forgetfulness then there is nothing on him and he must only ask Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, to forgive him.’”
