اشْتَكَى غُلَامٌ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقِيلَ إِنَّهُ بِهِ طُحَالًا[5] فَقَالَ‌ أَطْعِمُوهُ الْكُرَّاثَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَأَطْعَمْنَاهُ إِيَّاهُ‌[1] فَقَعَدَ الدَّمُ ثُمَّ بَرَأَ.

Once a boy complained to Abu Al-Hassan (asws), so he (asws) asked about him, so they told him (asws) that the boy had the spleen trouble. So he (asws) said: ‘Feed him leek for three days’. So we fed it to him, he excreted blood, then was free (cured)’.
