33 - حَدَّثَنا أَبي رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ حَدَّثَنا عَلِىِّ بْنِ سُلَيْمان الرَّازِيُّ قالَ حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبي الخَطَّاب عَنْ أَحْمَدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبي نَصْرِ البِزَنْطِيِّ عَن أَبي الحَسَن الرِّضـاعَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قالَ قُلْتُ كانَ أَوَّل الطَّيِّبِ فَقالَ لي مَا يَقُولُ مَنْ قِبَلَكُمْ فِيهِ قُلْتُ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ آدَمَ لَمَّا هَبَطَ بِأَرْضِ الْهِنْدِ فَبَكَى عَلَى الْجَنَّةِ سَالَتْ دُمُوعُهُ فَصَارَتْ عُرُوقاً فِي الأَرْضِ فَصَارَتْ طِيباً فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ لَيْسَ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ وَلَكِنْ حَوَّاءُ كَانَتْ تُغَلِّفُ قُرُونَهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِ شَجَرَةِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلَمَّا هَبَطَتْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَبُلِيَتْ بِالْمَعْصِيَةِ رَأَتِ الْحَيْضَ فَأُمِرَتْ بِالْغُسْلِ فَنَقَضَتْ قُرُونَهَا فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ رِيحاً طَارَتْ بِهِ وَخَفَضَتْهُ فَذَرَّتْ حَيْثُ شَاءَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ الطِّيبُ.
28-33 (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Soleiman al-Razi quoted on the authority of Muhammad ibn Al-Hussein, on the authority of Abil Khattab, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr al-Bezanti, “I askedAbil Hassan Al-Ridha (s), ‘How was good scent first created?’ The Imam (s) asked me, ‘What do others say about that?’ I said, ‘They say that when Adam (s) first descended to the Earth in India, he (s) cried for Paradise. His tears flowed, dropped on the Earth and penetrated the Earth in the form of roots which then turned into good scent.’ The Imam (s) said, ‘It is not as they say. Eve used to tie up her hair with leaves from the trees in Paradise. When she descended to the Earth and committed a sin, then she started to menstruate. She was ordered to perform the ritual ablution. She undid her hair. The Honorable the Exalted God sent a wind which caused her hair to move around. Then God had it settle down and spread the good scent wherever the Honorable the Exalted God willed. This is the root of good scent.”
