[12] The origination of the perfume عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ لَمَّا أُهْبِطَ آدَمُ ( عليه السلام ) مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ عَلَى الصَّفَا وَ حَوَّاءُ عَلَى الْمَرْوَةِ وَ قَدْ كَانَتِ امْتَشَطَتْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ بِطِيبٍ مِنْ طِيبِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلَمَّا صَارَتْ فِي الْأَرْضِ قَالَتْ مَا أَرْجُو مِنَ الْمَشْطِ وَ أَنَا مَسْخُوطٌ عَلَيَّ فَحَلَّتْ عَقِيصَتَهَا فَانْتَثَرَ مِنْ مُشْطَتِهَا الَّتِي كَانَتِ امْتَشَطَتْ بِهَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَطَارَتْ بِهِ الرِّيحُ فَأَلْقَتْ أَكْثَرَهُ بِالْهِنْدِ فَلِذَلِكَ صَارَ الْعِطْرُ بِالْهِنْدِ .
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Hassan, from Musa Bin Bakr, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘When Adam -as descended from the Paradise upon Al-Safa and Hawwa -as upon the Marwa , and she -as used to comb in the Paradise with a perfume from the perfumes of the Paradise. So, when she -as came to be in the earth, she -as said: ‘How hopeful I -as am from the combing and I -as am loathsome of my -as hair’.
So she -as loosened her -as braids, so there scattered from her combing which she -as used to comb with in the Paradise, and the wind carried it and cast most of it in India. Thus, it is due to that, came to be the perfume in India’. عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ مِثْلَهُ . A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Adullah, from Ali Bin Hassan – similar to it.
قَالَ وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ فَحَلَّتْ عَقِيصَتَهَا فَأَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَا كَانَ فِيهَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ الطِّيبِ رِيحاً فَهَبَّتْ فِي الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَأَصْلُ الطِّيبِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ He (the narrator) said, ‘And in another Hadeeth – : ‘She -as loosened her braids, so Allah -azwj Sent upon what was therein, from that perfume, a wind, so it descended in the eat and the west. Thus, the origination of the perfume is from that’.
