Butter can cure

Zubd (Butter)

Abu Dawud narrated in his Sunan that the two children of Busr said, “The Messenger of Allah (saws) came by us and we offered him some butter and dried dates, as he used to like eating butter and dried dates”.

Butter and dried Dates - neutralizes the effect of each other

Butter is hot and wet and has many benefits, such as maturing the mixtures (bodily wastes) and decomposing them, along with relieving the tumors that appear next to the ears and ureters (tubes leading from the kidney to the bladder).

When butter is used along it also heals mouth cancers and various other types of tumors that attack children and women.

When one licks butter, it will help against lung hemoptysis (spitting up blood) and will mature the tumors of the lungs.

Butter softens the nature, the nerves and the hard tumors that result from black bile and phlegm and relieves the dryness in the body. When butter is laid on the place where children’s teeth emerge, it will help the teeth grow.

Butter also soothes coughing that accompanies colds and dryness. It also deals herpes and the roughness in the body and works as a laxative. Yet, butter reduces the appetite and sweetness of honey and dates.

Butter acts as a laxative

The wisdom behind the Prophet :saws: eating dried dates with butter is that they would neutralize the effect of each other.

Want relief from heart pain? Try Barley

Hazrat Aisha (ra) once narrated that, “whenever someone fell ill in the house of God’s Messenger (pbuh), he kept a pot of barley soup cooking on the fire until the patient passed through one of the two confines,” [meaning recovery or death]. He would ask them to eat from the soup. He (pbuh) also used to say, “Feed your patient the soup of barley, for it enlivens and refreshes the hearts of the sick, dispels their anguish, sorrow and distress, and it washes their stomachs clean, just as one of you washes her face of dirt.”
Barley broth is one of the most nutritive and high-protein soups in existance.

Sorrow and sadness tends to dry up one’s body, particularly the stomach, and of course, lack of food has much to contribute to that. Barley broth helps to moisten this dryness and flush away unnecessary accumulations or toxins related to illness. It soothes the body, comes to its defence, reduces tension, balances the different types of liquids and gasses in the body, lifts the spirit and helps the patient regain his/her poise.

A soup of boiled barley is more nutritious than pearl barley or barley groats. Barley soup is also good for a cough or roughness of the throat. It provides the body with much-required nutrition if it has been suffering the effects of eating low-calorific, high fat, high sugar foods (junk foods).

It also helps increase the excretion of urine and other body wastes by regulating intestinal functions, clears the stomach by arresting fermentation, quenches the thirst and helps lower the core body temperature with hot diseases like fever.

To prepare this nourishing soup, add one portion of good quality crushed barley grains to five portions of fresh spring water, add salt and some mild spices to taste. Please ensure that you use a clean pot. Place the pot on a medium heat, and boil the contents down to one fifth of the water. Remove the barley and serve as needed.

Barley soup for the entire family!

If the barley grains are cooked whole (without crushing them beforehand), the nutrients in the grains pass straight through the digestive system without conferring any benefits. But, boiled, softened crushed barley grains provide much more nutrition and benefits and prove very effective in stimulating bowel movement.
