Hadith 98

(The book) ‘Al-Mahasin’ – From one of his companions, raising it, said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Three are not eaten and (yet) they fatten, and three are eaten and they make one slim, and two benefit from all things nor harming from anything, and two harm from all things and do not benefit from anything. Those which are not eaten and (still) fatten – feeling the linen, and the perfume, and the Noura (waxing); and those which are eaten and make you slim – the dry meat, and the cheese, and the pollen’. And in another Hadeeth, ‘The walnuts’, and in another Hadeeth, ‘The oilcake’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘So what are those two which benefit from all things and do not harm from anything? ’
He-asws said: ‘The sugar, and the pomegranate. And those which harm from all things and do not benefit from anything, the dry meat, and the cheese’’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! You-asws said they make you slim and over here you-asws said, they are harmful’. He-asws said: ‘Don’t you know that the slim is from the harmful? ’’[158]
(The book) ‘Majalis’ of Ibn Al Sheykh – from his father, from Hilal Bin Muhammad Al Haffar, from Ismail Bin Ali Al Deobaly, from his father, ‘From Al-Reza-asws, from his-asws forefathers, from Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws having said: ‘Two things do not enter inside at all except they spoil it, and two things did not enter inside at all except they correct it. As for those who correct inside of the son of Adam – the pomegranate and the lukewarm water; and as for those two spoiling – the cheese and the cured meat/Jerk’’. [159]
