كَانَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) يَسْتَعِطُ بِالشَّلِيثَا وَ بِالزَّنْبَقِ الشَّدِيدِ الْحَرِّ خَسْفَيْهِ قَالَ وَ كَانَ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) أَيْضاً يَسْتَعِطُ بِهِ فَقُلْتُ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ لِمَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِبَعْضِ الْمُتَطَبِّبِينَ فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ جَيِّدٌ لِلْجِمَاعِ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Abbas Bin Marouf, from Al Yaqouby, from Isa Bin Abdullah, (It has been narrated) from Ali son of Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> who said, ‘Abu Al-Hassan Musa<sup>asws</sup> used to sniff <span class="iTxt">Al-Shaleysa</span> (a perfume), and the lily in intense heat, (until it) dropped (drops from his<sup>asws</sup> nose), and Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup> as well sniffed with it’. So I said to Ali son of Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Why is that?’ So Ali said, ‘I mentioned that to one of the physicians, so he mentioned that it is very good for the copulation’.
