385. From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Al-No’man, from one of our companions who said: I complained to Abu Abdullah  of the aches, so he  said: ‘When you go to your bed, take two (pieces) of sugar’. So he said, ‘I did it. So I was free from it, and I informed one of the doctors who was a renowned one of our city. He said, ‘From where did Abu Abdullah  understand this? This is from the treasures of our knowledge. But he  is the owner of Books. He probably got it from one of his  Books’.
