4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan, from Ali ibn al-Hakam from al-‘Ala’ ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ’Can a fasting person smell sweet basil and perfumes?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful.’” It is narrated that he (the Imam) would not smell sweet basil because of his dislike to enjoy such pleasure.
4ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْعَلاءِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) الصَّائِمُ يَشَمُّ الرَّيْحَانَ وَالطِّيبَ قَالَ لا بَأْسَ بِهِ. وَرُوِيَ أَنَّهُ لا يَشَمُّ الرَّيْحَانَ لأَنَّهُ يُكْرَهُ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَلَذَّذَ بِهِ.
