كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ ابْنَتِي قَدْ ذَبَلَتْ وَ بِهَا الْبَطَنُ فَقَالَ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنَ الْأَرُزِّ بِالشَّحْمِ خُذْ حِجَاراً أَرْبَعاً أَوْ خَمْساً فَاطْرَحْهَا بِجَنْبِ النَّارِ وَ اجْعَلِ الْأَرُزَّ فِي الْقِدْرِ وَ اطْبُخْهُ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَ وَ خُذْ شَحْمَ كُلًى طَرِيّاً فَإِذَا بَلَغَ الْأَرُزُّ فَاطْرَحِ الشَّحْمَ فِي قَصْعَةٍ مَعَ الْحِجَارَةِ وَ كُبَّ عَلَيْهَا قَصْعَةً أُخْرَى ثُمَّ حَرِّكْهَا تَحْرِيكاً جَيِّداً وَ اضْبِطْهَا كَيْ لَا يَخْرُجَ بُخَارُهُ فَإِذَا ذَابَ الشَّحْمُ فَاجْعَلْهُ فِي الْأَرُزِّ ثُمَّ تَحَسَّاهُ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Abu Suleyman Sl Haza’a, from Muhammad Bin Al Fayz who said, ‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so a man came over, so he said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘My daughter has withered and with her is the belly (pregnancy)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘What prevents you from the rice with the fat? Take four or five stones, so place these by the side of the fire and make the rice to be in the pot and cook it until it is done, and take the fat of fresh kidneys. So when the rice reaches (is cooked), so place the fat in a bowl along with the stones, and cover over it with another bowl. Then stir it with a new stirring, and set it such that no steam comes out. So when the fat has melted, so make it to be in the rice, then she can eat it’.
