عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ لَنَا فَتَاةً كَانَتْ تَرَى الْكَوْكَبَ مِثْلَ الْجَرَّةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ تَرَاهُ مِثْلَ الْحُبِّ قُلْتُ إِنَّ بَصَرَهَا ضَعُفَ فَقَالَ اكْحُلْهَا بِالصَّبِرِ وَ الْمُرِّ وَ الْكَافُورِ أَجْزَاءً سَوَاءً فَكَحَلْنَاهَا بِهِ فَنَفَعَهَا.


581. From him, from Ahmad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Salih who said: ‘I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s) that. ‘We have a young girl who used to see the planet like the jar’. He (a.s) said: ‘Yes, and she can see it like a grain’. So I said, ‘Her eyesight is weak’. So he (a.s) said: ‘Apply (in her eyes) the Aloe, and the Myrrh, and the Camphor in equal parts’. So we applied it in her eyes, and she benefited from it’.
