عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ قَالَ شَكَا رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) السُّعَالَ وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ خُذْ فِي رَاحَتِكَ شَيْئاً مِنْ كَاشِمٍ وَ مِثْلَهُ مِنْ سُكَّرٍ فَاسْتَفَّهُ يَوْماً أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ قَالَ ابْنُ أُذَيْنَةَ فَلَقِيتُ الرَّجُلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلْتُهُ إِلَّا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً حَتَّى ذَهَبَ.

227. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Umar Bin Azina who said: A man complained to Abu Abdullah (asws) for the cough whilst I was present, so he (asws) said to him: ‘At your convenience, take something from ‘كَاشِمٍ’ lovage (plant) and similar amount of sugar, swallow it for one or two days’. Ibn Azina (the narrator) said, ‘I met the man after that, so he said, ‘I did not do it but once and it went (cured)’.
