4ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِذَا أَفْطَرَ بَدَأَ بِحَلْوَاءَ يُفْطِرُ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَسُكَّرَةٍ أَوْ تَمَرَاتٍ فَإِذَا أَعْوَزَ ذَلِكَ كُلُّهُ فَمَاءٍ فَاتِرٍ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ يُنَقِّي الْمَعِدَةَ وَالْكَبِدَ وَيُطَيِّبُ النَّكْهَةَ وَالْفَمَ وَيُقَوِّي الأَضْرَاسَ وَيُقَوِّي الْحَدَقَ وَيَجْلُو النَّاظِرَ وَيَغْسِلُ الذُّنُوبَ غَسْلاً وَيُسَكِّنُ الْعُرُوقَ الْهَائِجَةَ وَالْمِرَّةَ الْغَالِبَةَ وَيَقْطَعُ الْبَلْغَمَ وَيُطْفِىُ الْحَرَارَةَ عَنِ الْمَعِدَةِ وَيَذْهَبُ بِالصُّدَاعِ.

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from those whom he has mentioned (in his book) from Mansur ibn al-‘ Abbas from Safwan ibn Yahya from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muskan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, would begin with Halwa (sweet dish) for Iftaar (breaking of the fast). If this was not available, he would use sugar or dates, and if no such items were available, he then would use water and say, ‘It cleanses the stomach and liver, helps bad breathe and the scent of the mouth, strengthens the teeth, the pupil of the eye and eyesight, and washes off sins. It calms down hyper veins and the gallbladder, cuts down mucus, cools heartburn and relieves sinus congestions.’”
