Chapter on What is Permissible and Impermissible for the Muhrim to Do and Use of All Types
وَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: إِذَا تَجَهَّزَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ قَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ «إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَجْعَلُوا فِي زَادِنَا شَيْئاً مِنَ اَلطِّيبِ وَ لاَ اَلزَّعْفَرَانِ نَأْكُلْهُ أَوْ نُطْعِمْهُ ».
It is reported that Imam Ali ibn al-Husayn عليه السلام used to say to his family when preparing for a journey to Makkah: "Be cautious not to include anything scented, such as perfume or saffron, in our provisions, whether for us to eat or to serve to others."
