قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَمْرَضُ مِنَّا الْمَرِيضُ فَيَأْمُرُ الْمُعَالِجُونَ بِالْحِمْيَةِ فَقَالَ لَكِنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ لَا نَحْتَمِي إِلَّا مِنَ التَّمْرِ وَ نَتَدَاوَى بِالتُّفَّاحِ وَ الْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ قُلْتُ وَ لِمَ تَحْتَمُونَ مِنَ التَّمْرِ قَالَ لِأَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ حَمَى عَلِيّاً (عليه السلام) مِنْهُ فِي مَرَضِهِ.

<a id="_Toc492473570">H 14889</a> – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abdul Rahman Bin Hammaad, from Muhammad Bin Is’haq, from Muhammad Bin Al-Fayz who said, who has narrated the following: <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-i">I</span> said to Abu Abdullah</span><sup>asws</sup>, ‘When one of us becomes ill, the healers order us to go on a diet’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But, the People<sup>asws</sup> of the Household, we<sup>asws</sup> do not stay away except from the dates, and we<sup>asws</sup> cure by the apple and the cold water’. I said, ‘And why do you<sup>asws</sup> keep away from the dates?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Because the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> kept Ali<sup>asws</sup> away from it during his<sup>asws</sup> illness’.
