دَفَعَتْ إِلَيَّ امْرَأَةٌ غَزْلًا فَقَالَتِ ادْفَعْهُ بِمَكَّةَ لِيُخَاطَ بِهِ كِسْوَةُ الْكَعْبَةِ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَدْفَعَهُ إِلَى الْحَجَبَةِ وَ أَنَا أَعْرِفُهُمْ فَلَمَّا صِرْتُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ امْرَأَةً أَعْطَتْنِي غَزْلًا وَ أَمَرَتْنِي أَنْ أَدْفَعَهُ بِمَكَّةَ لِيُخَاطَ بِهِ كِسْوَةُ الْكَعْبَةِ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَدْفَعَهُ إِلَى الْحَجَبَةِ فَقَالَ اشْتَرِ بِهِ عَسَلًا وَ زَعْفَرَاناً وَ خُذْ طِينَ قَبْرِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ اعْجِنْهُ بِمَاءِ السَّمَاءِ وَ اجْعَلْ فِيهِ شَيْئاً مِنَ الْعَسَلِ وَ الزَّعْفَرَانِ وَ فَرِّقْهُ عَلَى الشِّيعَةِ لِيُدَاوُوا بِهِ مَرْضَاهُمْ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abu Abdullah Al barqy, from one of our companions who said, ‘A woman handed over some yarn to me and she said, ‘Hand it over at Makkah for the covering of the Kabah to be spun with it’. But, I dislike that I should hand it over to the guards (of the Kabah), and I knew them. So when I came to Al-Medina I went over to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, so I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! A woman gave me some yarn and instructed me that I hand it over at Makkah for the covering of the Kabah to be spun with it. But I disliked to hand it over to the guards’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Buy some honey with it, and saffron, and take some clay from the grave of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> (Imam Husayn<sup>asws</sup>), and knead it with water of the sky (rain), and make something from the honey and the saffron to be in it, and distribute it upon the Shias for them to heal their sick ones with it’.
