بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ الْمَاضِي ( عليه السلام ) يَوْماً فَأَكَلْتُ عِنْدَهُ وَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْحَلْوَاءِ فَقُلْتُ مَا أَكْثَرَ هَذِهِ الْحَلْوَاءَ فَقَالَ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّا وَ شِيعَتَنَا خُلِقْنَا مِنَ الْحَلَاوَةِ فَنَحْنُ نُحِبُّ الْحَلْوَاءَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Haroun Bin Mowafaq Al Madainy, form his father who said, ‘One day Al-Maazy<sup>asws</sup> (7th Imam<sup>asws</sup>) sent for me, so I ate in his<sup>asws</sup> presence, and most of it was sweet dishes. So I said, ‘How abundant are these sweets!’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘We<sup>asws</sup> and our<sup>asws</sup> Shias have both been Created from the sweetness, so we love the sweets’.
