أَحْمَدُ كَانَ نِسَاءُ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا تَبَخَّرْنَ أَخَذْنَ نَوَاةً مِنْ نَوَى الصَّيْحَانِيِّ مَمْسُوحَةً مِنَ التَّمْرِ مُنْقَاةَ التَّمْرِ وَ الْقُشَارَةِ فَأَلْقَيْنَهَا عَلَى النَّارِ قَبْلَ الْبَخُورِ فَإِذَا دَخَنَتِ النَّوَاةُ أَدْنَى الدُّخَانِ رَمَيْنَ النَّوَاةَ وَ تَبَخَّرْنَ مِنْ بَعْدُ وَ كُنَّ يَقُلْنَ هُوَ أَعْبَقُ وَ أَطْيَبُ لِلْبَخُورِ وَ كُنَّ يَأْمُرْنَ بِذَلِكَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Ali Bin Al Rayyan, (It has been narrated) from Ahmad Bin Abu Khalaf, a slave of Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>, and he<sup>asws</sup> had bought his father, and his mother, and his brother, so he<sup>asws</sup> had freed them, and he<sup>asws</sup> had contracted Ahmad and made him his<sup>asws</sup> butler. So Ahmad said, ‘When the wives of Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> incensed, they took a type from a type of <span class="iTxt">Al-Saykhani</span> date, unrefined dates, and the peels, so they would cast these upon the fire before the incense. So when the dates smoked a little smoke, they threw the dates and burnt the incense from afterwards, and it tended to hand and be more remaining, and more aromatic for the vapour, and they used to instruct with these’.
