أَكَلْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَرَقَةً بِعَدَسٍ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ الْعَدَسَ قَدَّسَ عَلَيْهِ ثَمَانُونَ نَبِيّاً قَالَ كَذَبُوا لَا وَ اللَّهِ وَ لَا عِشْرُونَ نَبِيّاً . وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ يُرِقُّ الْقَلْبَ وَ يُسْرِعُ الدَّمْعَةَ .
Translation
From him, from Dawood Bin Is’haq Al Haza’a, from Muhammad Bin Al Qayz who said, ‘I ate lentil broth in the presence of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! They (people) are saying that seventy Prophets<sup>as</sup> have sanctified upon the lentils’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘They are lying! No, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, not even twenty Prophets<sup>as</sup>’. And it is reported that it softens the heart and accelerates the tears’.
