7-8 Abu Ahmad Hani ibn Muhammad ibn Mahmood al-Abdi - may God be pleased with him - narrated that his father quoted on the authority of narrators who linked up to Musa ibn Ja’far (s)
“Musa ibn Ja’far (s) was shown into the presence of Ar-Rashid. Then Ar-Rashid told him, “O son of the Prophet of God! Tell me about the four kinds of temperaments.” Then Musa (s) told him, “The wind which is a king who puts up with his people and treats them gently. Then there is blood that is like a servant who incurs a loss that often kills his master. And there is phlegm that is a hard enemy. Whichever way you block it, it will find another way. Andthere is ‘Safra which is like the earth that will make everything on it grow.” Then Harun asked him, “O son of the Prophet of God! Do you bestow upon the people gifts from the Treasures of God and His Messenger?”
8 - حَدَّثَنا أَبُو أحْمَد هانِيُّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَحْمُودٍ العَبْدِي‏ رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَني أَبي بِإِسْنادِهِ - رَفَعَهُ - أَنَّ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍعَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ دَخَلَ عَلَى الرَّشِيدِ، فَقالَ لَهُ الرَّشِيدُ: يا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرنِي عَنِ الطّبائِعِ الأَرْبَعَ فَقالَ
مُوسَى‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ: أَمَّا الرِّيحُ فَإِنَّهُ مَلِكٌ يُدارِي وَأَمَّا الدَّمُ فَإِنَّهُ عَبْدٌ عارِمٌ وَرُبَما قَتَلَ العَبْدُ مَوْلاهُ، وَأَمَّا البَلْغَمُ فَإِنَّهُ خَصْمٌ جَدِلٌ إِنْ سَدَدْتَهُ مِنْ جانِب انْفَتَحَ مِنْ آخَرَ، وَأَمَّا المَرَّةَ فَإِنَّها الأَرْضَ إِذا اهْتَزَّْت رَجَفَتْ بِما فَوْقَهافَقالَ لَهُ هارُونُ: يا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ تُنْفِقُ عَلَى النَّاسِ مِنْ كُنُوزِ اللَّه وَرَسُولِهِ.
