Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Hamdan Bin Suleyman Al Neyshapouri, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Zakariyya, and a number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, altogether, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Abu Al Jaroud, from Abu Saeed Aqeysa Al Taymi who said, ‘I passed by Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> and Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup>, and they<sup>asws</sup> were both in the Euphrates soaking up to their<sup>asws</sup> trousers. So I said to both of them<sup>asws</sup>, ‘So two sons<sup>asws</sup> of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! Is it upon you two<sup>asws</sup> to spoil your<sup>asws</sup> trousers?’ So they<sup>asws</sup> both said: ‘O Abu Saeed! Spoiling our<sup>asws</sup> trousers is more beloved to us<sup>asws</sup> than spoiling the Religion. For the water, there are its rightful ones, dwellers like the dwellers of the ground’. Then they<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Where are you intending to go to?’ So I said, ‘Into this water’. So they<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And what is (in) this water?’ So I said, ‘I want its medication. I would drink from this bitter hoping that the body would lighten and the belly would be at ease’. So they<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘We<sup>asws</sup> do not reckon that Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Majestic and Mighty would Make a healing to be in something which He<sup>azwj</sup> has Cursed’. I said, ‘And why is that so?’ So they<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Because Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High, When He<sup>azwj</sup> Decided upon the people of Noah<sup>as</sup>, Opened the sky with a downpour of water, and Revealed unto the earth. But certain springs disobeyed from these, therefore He<sup>azwj</sup> Cursed these and Made these as salty, bitter’. And in a report of Hamdan Bin Suleyman, they<sup>asws</sup> both said: ‘O Abu Saeed! You have come to a water which denies our<sup>asws</sup> <span class="iTxt">Wilayah</span> three times during each day. Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Presents our<sup>asws</sup> <span class="iTxt">Wilayah</span> upon the waters, so whatever accepts our<sup>asws</sup> Wilayah is fresh and sweet, and whatever rejects our<sup>asws</sup> <span class="iTxt">Wilayah</span>, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Makes it to be bitter, or salty, burning’.
