The Merits of the Euphrates River, Drinking from Its Water, and Performing Ghusl in It
7 وَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ يَقُولُ إِنَّ مَلَكاً يَهْبِطُ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ مَعَهُ ثَلَاثُ مَثَاقِيلَ مِسْكٍ مِنْ مِسْكِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَطْرَحُهَا فِي الْفُرَاتِ وَ مَا مِنْ نَهَرٍ فِي مَشْرِقٍ وَ لَا فِي مَغْرِبٍ [فِي شَرْقٍ وَ لَا غَرْبٍ] أَعْظَمُ بَرَكَةً مِنْهُ
7. Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh narrated to me from his father ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari, from Aḥmad ibn Abī ‘Abdillāh, from his father, from someone who narrated to him, from Ḥanān ibn Sadīr, from his father, from Hakīm ibn Jubayr, who said: ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain (Imam Sajjād عليه السلام) said: Every night an angel comes down and drops three particles of musk from the musk of Paradise in the Euphrates River. There is no river more blessed than the Euphrates (River) anywhere in the east or the west.
