عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ الْبَغْدَادِيِّ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجُعْفِيِّ قَالَ ذَكَرَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) الْبَصَلَ فَقَالَ يُطَيِّبُ النَّكْهَةَ وَ يَذْهَبُ بِالْبَلْغَمِ وَ يَزِيدُ فِي الْجِمَاعِ .
1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Mansur ibn al-‘Abbas from ‘Abd ‘Abd al-’Aziz ibn Hassan from Salih ibn ‘Uqbah from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muhammad al-Al-Ju‘fiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, once mentioned onion and said, ‘It is well flavored and it dissolves phlegm and increases one’s ability to go to bed with his wife.’”
