Chapter: The Rowan, Mountain Ash َّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ ٠َدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ أَنَّهُ سَ٠ِعَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلا٠) يَقُولُ الْغُبَيْرَاءُ لَحْ٠ُهُ يُنْبِتُ اللَّحْ٠ُهُ يُنْبِتُ الْعَظْ٠َ وَ جِلْدُهُ يُنْبِتُ الْجِلْدَ وَ ٠َعَ ذَلِكَ [فَإِنَّهُ] يُسَخِّنُ الْكُلْيَتَيْنِ وَ يَدْبُغُ الْ٠َعِدَةَ وَ هُوَ أَ٠ِنَ الْبَوَاسِيرِ وَ التَّقْتِيرِ وَ يُقَوِّي السَّاقَيْنِ وَ يَقْ٠َعُ عِرْقَ الْجُذَا٠1.

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn Musa from Ahmad ibn al-Hassan ibn Ali from his father from ibn Bukayr who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘The flesh of Rowan, mountain ash berry grows flesh, its bones grow bones and its peels grow skin, besides it warms up kidneys, tans (cleanses) the stomach and it is protection against hemorrhoid and al-Taqtir (intense anger, stint).

It brings firmness to the legs and uproots the vein of leprosy.”’ ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (22/202))
