5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad from Ali ibn al-Rayyan from Ahmad ibn abu Khalaf Mawla’ of abu al-Hassan (a.s.), whom he (the Imam) had bought along with his parents and brother then set them free but Ahmad made a contract with him (the Imam) and became his agent. He has said the following
“Women of abu al-Hassan (a.s.), when burning incense first took the date-stone of Sayhaniy (a certain kind of date of al-Madinah) date, clean of date fruit or sweetness and peel, then placed it on the fire before the incense. When the date-stones smoked the minimum they threw away the date-stones and burnt the incense. They said, ‘It clings with better fragrance and nicer incense’ and they instructed with this method.”
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الرَّيَّانِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ
كَانَ اشْتَرَاهُ وَ أَبَاهُ وَ أُمَّهُ وَ أَخَاهُ فَأَعْتَقَهُمْ وَ اسْتَكْتَبَ أَحْمَدَ وَ جَعَلَهُ قَهْرَمَانَهُ فَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ كَانَ نِسَاءُ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا تَبَخَّرْنَ أَخَذْنَ نَوَاةً مِنْ نَوَى الصَّيْحَانِيِّ مَمْسُوحَةً مِنَ التَّمْرِ مُنْقَاةَ التَّمْرِ وَ الْقُشَارَةِ فَأَلْقَيْنَهَا عَلَى النَّارِ قَبْلَ الْبَخُورِ فَإِذَا دَخَنَتِ النَّوَاةُ أَدْنَى الدُّخَانِ رَمَيْنَ النَّوَاةَ وَ تَبَخَّرْنَ مِنْ بَعْدُ وَ كُنَّ يَقُلْنَ هُوَ أَعْبَقُ وَ أَطْيَبُ لِلْبَخُورِ وَ كُنَّ يَأْمُرْنَ بِذَلِكَ .
