Al-Halwa’ (Sweet)

“Once al-Madiy (the previous) abu al-Hassan ‘Alayhi al-Salam, called me for food and I ate food with him. He (the Imam) ate quite a bit of al-Halwa’ (sweet) and I said, ‘This is quite a bit of al-HalwaY He (the Imam)…

“If one of us does not want al-Halwa’ he wants drink (which is sweet).”’

"I ate with Abu Abdullah al-Sadiq (as) similarly to the first report."

“We were in al-Madinah and abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), sent a message to us to make for him (the Imam) Faludah (a kind of sweet) of a little quantity . We then sent it to him (the Imam) in a small bowl.’”
