Endives: Imam Ja'far As-Sadiq (as)

Eat endive, for there is not a morning when the drops of heaven do not fall on it

Imam Ja'far As-Sadiq (as)

From Mohammad B Abu Nasr from his father from Abu Abd Allah, peace be upon him, that he [the father] said:

I complained to him of a disturbance in my head and my teeth and a throbbing in my eye, so that my face was swollen from it.  He, peace be upon him, said:

'Take this endive and extract its juice.  Take the juice and pour over it a lot of lump sugar.  It will relieve it and drive away its harm."

He [the father] said:

"I went to my house and treated it that night before I slept.  I drank it and slept, and in the morning I was cured of it, praise be to Allah."
