10.A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from more than one person of our people who have said the following: âWe said to him (the Imam) (a.s.), âWe pray to Allah to keep our souls in service for your cause. What should we do if we cannot find al-Jaridah (twig of palm tree)? He (the Imam) said, âTwig of berry tree is also good.â It then was asked, âWhat should be done if twig of berry tree is also not found?
He (the Imam) said, âThen it is twig of al-Khilaf (certain tree).ââ Ø´ÙÙر - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (MirʾÄt al-Ê¿UqÅ«l fÄ« Sharḥ AkhbÄr Äl al-RasÅ«l (13/327))
