386. From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ja’far Bin Yahya Al-Khazai’e, from Al-Husayn Bin Al-Hassan, from Aasim Bin Yunus, from a man, who has narrated the following
Abu Abdullah (asws) has said to a man: ‘With what thing do you cure your sick when they have fever?’ He said, ‘May Allah (azwj) Keep you well, by these bitter medicines – by Safaayaj, and Al-Ghafas, and similar to these’. So he (asws) said: ‘Glory be to Allah (azwj), the One Who (azwj) has the Power to Free (Cure) with the bitter (medication) also has the Power to Free (Cure) with the sweet’. Then said: ‘If one of you has fever, so he should take a clean container, and place sugar in it, then recite over it what he knows from the Quran. Then he should place it underneath the stars (at night in the open), and place iron in it. So when it is the morning, pour some water on it and mix it with his hand, then drink it. So when it is the second night, increase another (piece of) sugar in it so it becomes two and a half times as much. So when it is the third night, increase another (piece of) sugar so it becomes three and a half times as much’.
عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْخُزَاعِيِّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ
قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ بِأَيِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ تُعَالِجُونَ مَحْمُومَكُمْ إِذَا حُمَّ قَالَ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ بِهَذِهِ الْأَدْوِيَةِ الْمُرَّةِ بَسْفَايَجٍ وَ الْغَافِثِ وَ مَا أَشْبَهَهُ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُبْرِئَ بِالْمُرِّ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُبْرِئَ بِالْحُلْوِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا حُمَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَأْخُذْ إِنَاءً نَظِيفاً فَيَجْعَلَ فِيهِ سُكَّرَةً وَ نِصْفاً ثُمَّ يَقْرَأَ عَلَيْهِ مَا حَضَرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ثُمَّ يَضَعَهَا تَحْتَ النُّجُومِ وَ يَجْعَلَ عَلَيْهَا حَدِيدَةً فَإِذَا كَانَ فِي الْغَدَاةِ صَبَّ عَلَيْهَا الْمَاءَ وَ مَرَسَهُ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ شَرِبَهُ فَإِذَا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ زَادَهُ سُكَّرَةً أُخْرَى فَصَارَتْ سُكَّرَتَيْنِ وَ نِصْفاً فَإِذَا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الثَّالِثَةُ زَادَهُ سُكَّرَةً أُخْرَى فَصَارَتْ ثَلَاثَ سُكَّرَاتٍ وَ نِصْفاً.
