\n Muhammad Ibn Ali Ibn Ranjawayh al-Mutatabbib narrated from ‘Abd Allah Ibn ‘Uthman that he said: \n ‘I complained to Abu Ja’far Muhammad -asws Ibn Ali -asws Ibn Musa -asws of coldness in my abdomen and of palpitation (al-khafaqan) in my heart.

He -asws said: “What about the medication of my -asws father -asws , the ‘comprehensive medication’?” I replied: “O son of Rasool Allah -asws , what is it?” He said: “It is well known among the Shi ‘a.” I said: “My lord and master, I am one of them, so describe it to me so that I may use it as treatment and give it to people.” \n He -asws replied: “Take equal measures of saffron, pyrethrum, Indian nard, cardamom, henbane, white hellebore, and white pepper, and two parts of abarfiyun.

Grind them all finely, sieve in a piece of silk, and mix with twice its weight of honey which has had its froth removed. Give the one suffering from heart fluttering and coldness in the abdomen one grain to drink with a decoction of cumin water.
