Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Al-Husayn ibn Yusuf al-Baghdadi narrated that Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Anbasa quoted Darim ibn Qabeesa that Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) quoted on the authority of his father Musa ibn Ja’far (a.s.), on the authority of his father Ja’far (a.s.), on the authority of his father Muhammad ibn Ali (al-Baqir) (a.s.), on the authority of his father Ali ibn Al-Husayn (as-Sajjad) (a.s.), on the authority of his father Al-Husayn (a.s.), on the authority of his father Ali (a.s.), “I went to see the Prophet of God (a.s.) once and he (a.s.) had a quince in his hand. The Prophet (S) started to eat it and fed me some and said, ‘O Ali! Eat. This is a gift from the Omnipotent to you and I.’ The Commander of the Faithful (a.s.) added, ‘I found much pleasure in that quince. The Prophet (S) then said, ‘O Ali! Whoever eats quince first thing in the morning for three days, his mind would become clear, his heart would be filled with wisdom and knowledge and he would be safe from Satan and his agents.’’
