كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَجَاءَنَا بِمَضِيرَةٍ وَ طَعَامٍ بَعْدَهَا ثُمَّ أَتَى بِقِنَاعٍ مِنْ رُطَبٍ عَلَيْهِ أَلْوَانٌ فَجَعَلَ ( عليه السلام ) يَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهِ الْوَاحِدَةَ بَعْدَ الْوَاحِدَةِ فَيَقُولُ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ تُسَمُّونَ هَذَا فَنَقُولُ كَذَا وَ كَذَا حَتَّى أَخَذَ وَاحِدَةً فَقَالَ مَا تُسَمُّونَ هَذِهِ فَقُلْنَا الْمُشَانَ فَقَالَ نَحْنُ نُسَمِّيهَا أُمَّ جِرْذَانَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أُتِيَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْهَا فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا وَ دَعَا لَهَا فَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ نَخْلٍ أَحْمَلَ مِنْهَا .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Hajjal, from Abu Suleyman Al Hammar who said, ‘We were in the presence of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so they came to us with <span class="iTxt">Mazeyra</span> (a sauce), and food after it. Then we were given a basket of dates upon which were a variety of these. So he<sup>asws</sup> went on to take with his<sup>asws</sup> hand one after the other, and he<sup>asws</sup> was saying: ‘Which thing do you call this one?’ So we said such and such, until he<sup>asws</sup> he took (another) one, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So what are you calling this one?’ So we said, ‘<span class="iTxt">Al-Mushan’</span>. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘We call it <span class="iTxt">Umm Jirzan</span>, and that Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> was given something from it, so he<sup>saww</sup> ate from it, and supplicated for it, therefore there is nothing from the palm trees which is more fruit-bearing than it’.
