4ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِبَاطٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ لَيْثٍ الْمُرَادِيِّ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الصَّائِمِ يَحْتَجِمُ وَيَصُبُّ فِي أُذُنِهِ الدُّهْنَ قَالَ لا بَأْسَ إِلاَّ السُّعُوطَ فَإِنَّهُ يُكْرَهُ.
