Al-Kāfi|Volume 6|Book 7|Chapter 63
ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا أُتِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ بِالرَّيْحَانِ فَلْيَشَمَّهُ وَ لْيَضَعْهُ عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ .
2. Ibn Mahbub has narrated from ‘ Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘If sweet basil is brought for one of you he must smell it and place it on his eyes because it is from the garden (paradises).”’
