3. Ali ibn Muhammad from Salih ibn abu Hammad from al-Husayn ibn Yazid from al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn abu Hamzah from Ibrahim who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah, Alayhi al-Salam, has said that when Allah sent Adam, Alayhi al-Salam, down, he began to hold the leaves of the garden (paradises) to himself, and his clothes which were of the dresses of the garden (paradises) that he wore flew away from him. He picked up a leaf to cover his private parts. When he came down the perfume of that leaf trapped in India; the wind from the south blew and its perfume reached to the west. It carried the perfume of the leaf in the air. When the wind became stagnant in India, it adhered to its trees and their plants. The first animal that grazed on such a plant was a deer of musk and from that is musk in the bellybutton of the deer; the fragrance of the plant moved in her body and blood until it gathered in the bellybutton of the deer.’”
عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ
إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لَمَّا أَهْبَطَ آدَمَ طَفِقَ يَخْصِفُ مِنْ وَرَقِ الْجَنَّةِ فَطَارَ عَنْهُ لِبَاسُهُ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ حُلَلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَالْتَقَطَ وَرَقَةً فَسَتَرَ بِهَا عَوْرَتَهُفَلَمَّا هَبَطَ عَبِقَتْ رَائِحَةُ تِلْكَ الْوَرَقَةِ بِالْهِنْدِ بِالنَّبْتِ فَصَارَ الطِّيبُ فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْ سَبَبِ تِلْكَ الْوَرَقَةِ الَّتِي عَبِقَتْ بِهَا رَائِحَةُ الْجَنَّةِ فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ الطِّيبُ بِالْهِنْدِ لِأَنَّ الْوَرَقَةَ هَبَّتْ عَلَيْهَا رِيحُ الْجَنُوبِ فَأَدَّتْ رَائِحَتَهَا إِلَى الْمَغْرِبِ لِأَنَّهَا احْتَمَلَتْ رَائِحَةَ الْوَرَقَةِ فِي الْجَوِّ فَلَمَّا رَكَدَتِ الرِّيحُ بِالْهِنْدِ عَبِقَ بِأَشْجَارِهِمْ وَ نَبْتِهِمْ فَكَانَ أَوَّلُ بَهِيمَةٍ رَتَعَتْ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْوَرَقَةِ ظَبْيَ الْمِسْكِ فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ صَارَ الْمِسْكُ فِي سُرَّةِ الظَّبْيِ لِأَنَّهُ جَرَى رَائِحَةُ النَّبْتِ فِي جَسَدِهِ وَ فِي دَمِهِ حَتَّى اجْتَمَعَتْ فِي سُرَّةِ الظَّبْيِ .
