Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 2879 — I went to Muhammad bin Ali bin Husayn

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَكِّيُّ، ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْمَازِنِيُّ، ثنا أَرْطَأَةُ بْنُ الْأَشْعَثِ الْعَدَوِيُّ، ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْخَثْعَمِيُّ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ وَعِنْدَهُ ابْنُهُ، فَقَالَ: هَلُمَّ إِلَى الْغَدَاءِ. فَقُلْتُ: قَدْ تَغَدَّيْتُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ. فَقَالَ لِي: إِنَّهُ هِنْدِبَاءُ. قُلْتُ: يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ، وَمَا فِي الْهِنْدِبَاءِ؟ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ جَدِّي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَا مِنْ وَرَقَةٍ مِنْ وَرَقِ الْهِنْدِبَاءِ إِلَّا وَعَلَيْهَا قَطْرَةٌ مِنْ مَاءِ الْجَنَّةِ»
ثُمَّ أَتَى بِدُهْنٍ، فَقَالَ: ادَّهِنْ. فَقُلْتُ: قَدِ ادَّهَنْتُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ. قَالَ: إِنَّهُ بَنَفْسَجٌ. قُلْتُ: وَمَا فِي الْبَنَفْسَجِ؟ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ جَدِّي، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ فَضْلَ الْبَنَفْسَجِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الْأَدَهْانِ كَفَضْلِ وَلَدِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ عَلَى سَائِرِ قُرَيْشٍ، وَإِنَّ فَضْلَ دُهْنِ الْبَنَفْسَجِ كَفَضْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الْأَدْيَانِ»
Bishr bin Abdullah al-Khath'ami narrates: I went to Muhammad bin Ali bin Husayn (Imam Muhammad al-Baqir) (may Allah have mercy on him), and his son was with him. He said: Come and eat. I said: O son of the Messenger of Allah! I have already eaten. He said to me: But this is hindiba (endive). I said: O son of the Messenger of Allah! What is special about hindiba? He said: My father narrated to me from my grandfather that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is not a single leaf of the hindiba leaves except that there is a drop of the water of Paradise upon it."
Then oil was brought, and he said: Apply some oil. I said: O son of the Messenger of Allah! I have already applied oil. He said: But this is violet oil. I said: What is special about violet? He said: My father narrated to me from my grandfather, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The superiority of violet oil over all other oils is like the superiority of the descendants of Abd al-Muttalib over the rest of Quraysh, and the superiority of violet oil is like the superiority of Islam over all other religions."
