Ayyashi has narrated from the same Imam that ‘bee’ indicates the Holy Imams (a.s.) and ‘mountain’ refers to the Arabs and ‘tree’ refers to the freed slaves and ‘in what they build’ are the boys and servants who are not freed and they have the love of Allah, the Prophet and the Holy Imams, and the different colours of drink means different sciences which are taught by the Imams to their Shias.

‘In which there is healing for men’ means there is a remedy in the knowledge and our Shias are the ‘men’ and Allah knows the non-Shias best that they are. If this verse means what people think, it is a type of honey that people eat.

Therefore when a sick person takes it, he would surely get well because the promise of Allah is not false, but the remedy is from the knowledge of the Quran because Allah says: وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَا يَزِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا خَسَارًا.

And We reveal of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers, (Sura Israa 17:82) Then the Hazrat said that the Quran is a remedy and mercy for those who are fit for it and the Holy Imams who guide, deserve it the most; about whom the Almighty Allah says: ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتَابَ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا.

Then We gave the Book for an inheritance to those whom We chose from among Our servants…(Surah Fatir 35:32) Also Ayyashi from other chains from the same Imam has narrated that ‘bee’ refers to the Holy Prophet (S). Make hives in the mountains… It means marry the women of Quraysh. and in the trees… and also from all the Arabs. and in what they build: This refers to non-Arabs and slaves and the different colours of drinks refers to the different sciences.

There is a tradition from Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s.) that ‘bee’ refers to the Holy Imam (a.s.) and ‘mountains’ refers to Quraysh and ‘tree’ refers to all Arabs and ‘what they build’ refers to non-Arabs and slaves. …in the ways of your Lord… (Surah Nahl 16:69) It is the true religion that we follow and the different kinds of honey denote the knowledge of Amirul Momineen (a.s.) which has reached the people and which is the cure of the diseases of ignorance and misguidance.
