Chapter: The Merits of the Euphrates River, Drinking from Its Water, and Performing Ghusl in It 3 وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَحْ٠َانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع) قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَ الْفُرَاتِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا ٠ِيلًا لَذَهَبْنَا إِلَيْهِ وَ اسْتَشْفَيْنَا بِهِ 3.

My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Isā, from Abil Jārūd (Ziyād ibn Mundhir Al-Hamdāni), who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)) said: If the distance between us and the Euphrates (River) was this much – and he mentioned a distance – we would go to it to seek cure with its water.
