The Wild Thyme

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ziyad al-Qandiy who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan, al-Awwal (a.s.), has said that the medicine of ’Amir al-Mu’minin was wild thyme, ’Amir al-Mu’minin would say, Thyme becomes fuzz and fluff for the stomach like that of velvet.’”

It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Musa ibn al-Hassan from Ali ibn Sulayman from certain ones of al-Wasit who has said the following: “I once complained before abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about rutubah (acidity) and he (the Imam) commanded me to eat thyme complete and uncrushed.”
