شَكَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) بَعْضَ الْوَجَعِ وَ قُلْتُ إِنَّ الطَّبِيبَ وَصَفَ لِي شَرَاباً آخُذُ الزَّبِيبَ وَ أَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ لِلْوَاحِدِ اثْنَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَسَلَ ثُمَّ أَطْبُخُهُ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ ثُلُثَاهُ وَ يَبْقَى الثُّلُثُ فَقَالَ أَ لَيْسَ حُلْواً قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ اشْرَبْهُ وَ لَمْ أُخْبِرْهُ كَمِ الْعَسَلُ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Abdullah Bin Ja’far, from Al Sayyari, from the one who mentioned it, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘I complained to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> of some pain, and I said, ‘The physician has prescribed a drink for me – take the raisins and pour water upon it, two to one. Then pour honey upon it, then cook it until two-thirds of it evaporates and there remains the third’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Is it not sweet?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Drink it’. (He the narrator said), ‘And I did not inform him how much the honey was’.
