1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْفَرَّاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي الصَّائِمِ يَكْتَحِلُ قَالَ لا بَأْسَ بِهِ لَيْسَ بِطَعَامٍ وَلا شَرَابٍ. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْفَرَّاءِ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) مِثْلَهُ.

1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Sulayman al-Farra’ from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “About a fasting person’s use of kohl (special powder for eye treatment) abu Ja’far , has said that it is not harmful, because it is not a drink or food.’” Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Sulayman al-Farra’ from more than one person who have narrated a similar Hadith from abu Ja’far .
