عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَيْضِ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ ابْنَتِي قَدْ ذَبَلَتْ وَ بِهَا الْبَطَنُ فَقَالَ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنَ الْأَرُزِّ بِالشَّحْمِ خُذْ حِجَاراً أَرْبَعاً أَوْ خَمْساً فَاطْرَحْهَا بِجَنْبِ النَّارِ وَ اجْعَلِ الْأَرُزَّ فِي الْقِدْرِ وَ اطْبُخْهُ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَ وَ خُذْ شَحْمَ كُلًى طَرِيّاً فَإِذَا بَلَغَ الْأَرُزُّ فَاطْرَحِ الشَّحْمَ فِي قَصْعَةٍ مَعَ الْحِجَارَةِ وَ كُبَّ عَلَيْهَا قَصْعَةً أُخْرَى ثُمَّ حَرِّكْهَا تَحْرِيكاً جَيِّداً وَ اضْبِطْهَا كَيْ لَا يَخْرُجَ بُخَارُهُ فَإِذَا ذَابَ الشَّحْمُ فَاجْعَلْهُ فِي الْأَرُزِّ ثُمَّ تَحَسَّاهُ .
3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from abu Sulayman al-Hadhddha’ from Muhammad ibn al- Fayd who has said the following: “I once was with abu ‘Abd Allah , that a man came to him (the Imam) and said, ‘My daughter has become weak and she is pregnant.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘What prevents you from feeding her rice with fat? Take four pieces of stone or five and place them near the fire. Cook the rice in a pot until it is cooked. Take the fresh fat of a kidney. When rice is cooked then place the fat in a pot with the stones, then cover it with another pot and stir it fairly well. Fix the pots so that no steam comes out. When the fat melts; then place it in the rice, then she can eat it (ingest it).”’
