L'Huile de Gladiolus (Lys)

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-‘ Abbas ibn Ma‘ruf from al-Ya‘qubiy from ‘Isa ibn ‘Abd Allah from Ali ibn Ja‘far who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, would smell al-Shalisha (a certain mixture) and gladiola as medicine to cure the heat of his runny nose. I asked ‘Ali ibn Ja‘far about it. Ali said that I mentioned it to a certain physician who said that it is very good for going to bed with one’s wife.’”

Abu Al-Hassan Musa (que la paix soit sur lui) utilisait l'huile de moutarde et le nard très chaud pour se frictionner. Al-Rida (que la paix soit sur lui) le faisait aussi. Je demandai à Ali ibn Ja'far pourquoi cela, et Ali répondit: "J'ai mentionné cela à certains médecins qui ont dit que c'était bon pour les rapports intimes."
