Ask Qul - Islamic QA

Pearl of Wisdom

One of his servants became sick so we went to visit him as a group of the servants of Ja'far. We met Ja'far (AS) on the way, and he asked, 'Where are you going?' We replied, 'We are going to so and so to visit him.' He said, 'Stop.', so we stopped, and he asked, 'Does any of you have an apple or a quince, or a citron, or some perfume or a piece of sandalwood?!' We said, 'No, we do no have any of these?' He said, 'Do you not know that the sick man is comforted by anything that is brought for him.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]

Ibid. v. 3, p. 118, no. 3
