Cure for certain illnesses
Al-Kāfi|Volume 8|Book 1|Chapter 219
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 عليه الصلاة والسلام, so he عليه الصلاة والسلام asked about him, so they told him عليه الصلاة والسلام that the boy had the spleen trouble. So he عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘Feed him leek for three days’. So we fed it to him, he excreted blood, then was free (cured)’.
