There is a fake Hadith that states that eggplant

materializes the goals anticipated from eating it. This statement is not suitable to be related from a sane person let alone the Prophet sB.

There are two types of eggplants: white and black. There is a difference of opinion on if it is hot or cold, although we think it is hot. Eggplants cause black bile, piles, clogs, cancer and leprosy. Eggplants In addition spoil ones color, make it black and cause bad breath. White eggplants do not have these side effects.

The Letter Taa L Tamr (Dried Dates) In the Sahih it is narrated that the Prophet b said:

"Whoever ote seven dates in the morning from the area of ‘Aaliyah will not be harmed by poison or magic the rest of that day."

He In addition said:

"The people of a house where there are no dates are hungry."

In addition, the Prophet icterus ate dried dates with butter, with bread and alone. Tamr is hot in the second degree and either wet or dry in the second degree.

Dried dates strengthen the liver, relax the bowels, increase semen production, especially when taken with pine, and relieve soar throat. As for those who are not used to eating dried dates, such as the residents of cold areas, dried dates cause them clogs, harm the teeth and cause headaches, unless they are eaten with almonds and

Dried dates are among the most nutritious fruits, their essence is hot and wet. In addition, when one eats dates in the beginning of the day, they help kill worms. Although dried dates are hot, yet they have the strength of an antidote against worms, killing or at least decreasing their numbers, especially when dried dates are taken frequently on an empty stomach. Dried dates are a fruit, a type of food, a cure, a drink and a sweet.

The Sunnah does not mention figs because they did not grow in that area of the Hijaz or Al-Medina. Figs require an environment that is different from that in the areas where dates grow. Allah has sworn by the Tin in His Book because of its tremendous benefits and uses,

Tin is hot and either dry or wet. The best type of figs are the white kind when they are ripe, as they cleanse the sand that accumulates in the liver and prostate and serve as a preventive substance against poisons. Figs are

more nutritious than all other type of fruit, and help relieve the roughness in the chest, throat and trachea. It In addition cleanses the liver and the spleen, purifies the phlegm that accumulates in the stomach and provides good nourishment for the body. Yet, it makes one more susceptible to lice if eaten excessively.

3. Tharid (Meat and Bread Dish)

In the Sahihain it states that the Messenger of Allah b said:

"The virtue of 'A'esha as compared to other women, is like the virtue of Tharid as compared to the rest of the foods."

Tharid is composed of some bread, which is the best food, and meat, which is the best flavoring. When these two are combined together, no other food can surpass them.

There are conflicting opinions regarding which is better, the bread or the meat. The correct opinion is that bread is used more while meat is better and superior to bread. In addition, the meat resembles the true essence of the human body more than any other food. It is In addition the food of the people of Paradise. Allah said about those who sought to eat herbs, cucumbers, Fum (wheat or garlic), lentils and onions,

—— The Prophetic Medicine 3 sl (19) {BE 5a 5a GST ga sail Sct p

"Would you exchange that which is better for that

Many among the scholars said that Fum is wheat. Hence this Ayah states that meat (quails) is better than wheat. Allah has the best knowledge.

L jummar (Palm Pith)

In the Sahihain it is narrated that 'Abdullah bin Umar said." "While we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah b he was brought a jummar of a date tree. The Prophet b said:

'There is a tree that resembles the Muslim as its leaves never fall."

jummar is cold and dry in the first degree, and it seals the ulcers and relieves hemorrhage, diarrhea, yellow bile and blood pressure. In addition, the jummar is not harmful, but is not nutritious and is difficult to digest. The jummar is all benefit and this is why the Prophet said it resembled the Muslim, because of his tremendous usefulness and goodness.

The Prophetic Medicine 2. Gubn (Cheese)

In the Sunan of Abu Dawood it is narrated that Abdullah bin 'Umar said that the Prophet ai. was brought some cheese while in the area of Tabuk and that he asked for a knife, mentioned Allah's Name and then cut it. In addition, the Companions used to eat cheese in Iraq and Sham (Greater Syria) areas. Unsalted cheese is good for the stomach, easy on the body organs, produces flesh and relaxes the stomach. Salted cheese, on other hand, is less nutritious and is bad for the stomach and the intestines. Old and grilled cheese heats the stomach and is beneficial in cases of ulcers and diarrhea.

Cheese is cold and wet and is better when it is grilled because the fire makes it milder, softer and better tasting and scented. The old salted cheese is hot and dry, and boiling In addition makes it softer and less sour because the fire extracts the hot residue from the cheese. Salted cheese makes the body weak and causes stones in the liver and prostate. It is In addition bad for the stomach, and mixing it with what people think will make it milder is even worse because these substances allow the cheese an easy access to the stomach.

2. Habbah Sawdaa (The Black Seed)

In the Sahihain it is narrated that Abu Hurayrah related from the Prophet “ that he said:

"Use the Black Seed, because it contains a cure for every type of ailment, except for death." [At-Termezey, Ahmad and Ibn Hibban].

The Black Seed (or Habbat AI-Barakah) is called Shuneiz in Persian, black cumin and Indian cumin. AIHarbi narrated that AI-Hasan said, "It is the mustard seed" while Al-Harawi said that it is the green seed which is the seed of the terebinth. These are not correct opinions, because the Prophet b stated that it is the Black Seed, which is the Shuneiz as we stated.

The Black Seed has many benefits, as indicated by the Prophet's statement:

"It is a cure for every type of disease." This statement is just like what Allah said:
