4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Nusayr Mawla’ abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), from Muwaffaq Mawla’ abu al-Hassan (a.s.), who has said the following
“When my master ordered buying herbs he ordered quite a large amount and also watercress. It then would have been purchased for him and he (the Imam) would say, ‘How dimwitted certain people are when they say that it grows in a valley of hell and Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, says, ‘Its fuel is people and stones’ (2:24); then how can herbs grow therein?”’
عدة من أصحابنا، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، عن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسين بن سعيد، عن نصير مولى أبي عبد الله عليه السلام، عن موفق مولى أبي الحسن عليه السلام قال
كان مولاي أبو الحسن عليه السلام إذا أمر بشراء البقل يأمر بالاكثار منه ومن الجرجير فيشترى له وكان يقول عليه السلام: ما أحمق بعض الناس يقولون إنه ينبت في واد في جهنم والله عز وجل يقول:وقودها الناس والحجارة فكيف تنبت البقل.
