أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكُوفِيُّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ الطَّيَّارِ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ (عليه السلام) فَرَآنِي أَتَأَوَّهُ فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ قُلْتُ ضِرْسِي فَقَالَ لَوِ احْتَجَمْتَ فَاحْتَجَمْتُ فَسَكَنَ فَأَعْلَمْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي مَا تَدَاوَى النَّاسُ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ خَيْرٍ مِنْ مَصَّةِ دَمٍ أَمْ مُزْعَةِ عَسَلٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا الْمُزْعَةُ عَسَلٍ [عَسَلًا] قَالَ لَعْقَةُ عَسَلٍ.

Translation

231. Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al-Kufy, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzaal, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed, from Al-Hakam Bin Makeyn, from Hamza Bin Al-Tayyaar who said: I was in the presence of Abu Al-Hassan the First (asws). He (asws) saw me groaning (with pain). So he (asws) said: ‘What is the matter with you?’ I said, ‘My molar (toothache)’. So he (asws) said: ‘If only you had cupping done’. So I got cupping done and it settled down. I informed him (asws) of it’. So he (asws) said to me: ‘There is no better cure for the people than the sucking out of the blood and a certain amount of honey’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), what is a certain amount of honey?’ He (asws) said: ‘A lick of honey’.
