عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ قَالَ اشْتَكَى غُلَامٌ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقِيلَ إِنَّهُ بِهِ طُحَالًا فَقَالَ أَطْعِمُوهُ الْكُرَّاثَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَأَطْعَمْنَاهُ إِيَّاهُ فَقَعَدَ الدَّمُ ثُمَّ بَرَأَ.


219. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Hassaan, from Musa Bin Bakr who said: Once a boy complained to Abu Al-Hassan (a.s), so he (a.s) asked about him, so they told him (a.s) that the boy had the spleen trouble. So he (a.s) said: ‘Feed him leek for three days’. So we fed it to him, he excreted blood, then was free (cured)’.
