For when Allah Almighty bestows a blessing upon a servant of His, He loves to see its effect on him." He was asked: "And how is that?"

When I arrived to his home, I lost all the bliss I was enjoying. A woman was assigned to wake us up at night for prayer and it was the most difficult thing to us. Thus, I wished that I would depart his home, until he offered me to your grandfather Abdallah Bin Abbass. So when I arrived to his home, I felt as if I entered heaven," and Al-Sawli said: "I haven't ever met a woman more intelligent and generous than my grandmother. She passed away in the year two hundred and seventy at an age of one hundred years.

Mohammad Bin Ali Bin Al-Hussein in (Oyoun Al-Akhbar) reported from Al-Rida from his forefathers that the Messenger of Allah (pbuhp) said: "Embrocate yourselves with violet, for it is cold in summer and hot in winter." He (pbuh) also reported from his father that Jaafar Bin Mohammad (pbuh) ordered a cream to embrocate with." He said: "Embrocate." I said: "I did." He said: "It is violet."

Thus he said: "My father told me that his forefathers (pbut) stated that the Messenger of Allah (pbuhp) said: "The excellence of violet over creams is as the excellence of Islam over the rest of religions.""
