مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ وَضَّاحٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ دَخَلَتْ أُمُّ خَالِدٍ الْعَبْدِيَّةُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ أَنَا عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَتْ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّهُ يَعْتَرِينِي قَرَاقِرُ فِي بَطْنِي [فَسَأَلَتْهُ عَنْ أَعْلَالِ النِّسَاءِ وَ قَالَتْ] وَ قَدْ وَصَفَ لِي أَطِبَّاءُ الْعِرَاقِ النَّبِيذَ بِالسَّوِيقِ وَ قَدْ وَقَفْتُ وَ عَرَفْتُ كَرَاهَتَكَ لَهُ فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَ مَا يَمْنَعُكِ عَنْ شُرْبِهِ قَالَتْ قَدْ قَلَّدْتُكَ دِينِي فَأَلْقَى اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حِينَ أَلْقَاهُ فَأُخْبِرُهُ أَنَّ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ ( عليه السلام ) أَمَرَنِي وَ نَهَانِيفَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ أَلَا تَسْمَعُ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةِ وَ هَذِهِ الْمَسَائِلِ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا آذَنُ لَكِ فِي قَطْرَةٍ مِنْهُ وَ لَا تَذُوقِي مِنْهُ قَطْرَةً فَإِنَّمَا تَنْدَمِينَ إِذَا بَلَغَتْ نَفْسُكِ هَاهُنَا وَ أَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى حَنْجَرَتِهِ يَقُولُهَا ثَلَاثاً أَ فَهِمْتِ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا يَبُلُّ الْمِيلَ يُنَجِّسُ حُبّاً مِنْ مَاءٍ يَقُولُهَا ثَلَاثاً .
1. Muhammad ibn al-Hassan has narrated from certain persons of our people from Ibrahim ibn Khalid from ‘Abd Allah ibn Waddah from abu Basir who has said the following: “Once I was with abu ‘Abd Allah when the mother of Khalid al-‘Abdiyah visited him (the Imam). She said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause. I have a growling condition in my belly [I asked a women with such condition about it and she said] the physicians of Iraq have prescribed for her al-Nabidh with sawiq; but I have learned and I know that you dislike it and I like to ask you about it. He (the Imam) asked, ‘What stops you from drinking it?’ She replied, ‘I have taken upon myself to follow your instructions in matters of my religion so upon my meeting with Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, I will be able to tell Him that Ja‘far ibn Muhammad commanded and prohibited me.’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘O abu Muhammad, do you hear this woman and these issues? No, by Allah, I will not give you permission, not even for one drop of it and you must not taste even one drop of it because you, otherwise, will regret when the soul reaches here’, pointing to his throat, ‘Did you understand?’ She replied, ‘Yes, I understand? He (the Imam) then said, ‘A small amount of it (wine) that can hardly moisten an applicator of kohl (eyeliner) to the eye can make a whole hub (a large water container) filthy? He (the Imam) said it three times?”
