سَمِعْتُ أَشْيَاخَنَا يَقُولُونَ أَلْبَانُ اللِّقَاحِ[2] شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ وَ عَاهَةٍ وَ لِصَاحِبِ الْبَطَنِ أَبْوَالُهَا.
2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Nuh ibn Shu’ayb from certain persons of our people from Musa ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Hassan who has said the following: “I have heard my shaykh’s saying, ‘The milk of camels is a cure for all kinds of illness and defects, and for one’s stomach tro
تَغَدَّيْتُ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ لِي أَ تَدْرِي مَا هَذَا قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ هَذَا شِيرَازُ الْأُتُنِ[3] اتَّخَذْنَاهُ لِمَرِيضٍ لَنَا فَإِنْ أَحْبَبْتَ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ فَكُلْ.
‘This is Shiraz al-’Utun (yogurt- water) that we have extracted for one of our patients. If you like to eat you can eat it.’”
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَأُتِينَا بِسُكُرُّجَاتٍ[1]- فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ نَحْوَ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ وَ قَالَ هَذَا شِيرَازُ الْأُتُنِ اتَّخَذْنَاهُ لِعَلِيلٍ عِنْدَنَا وَ مَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَأْكُلْ وَ مَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَدَعْ.
‘This is Shiraz al-’Utun which we have extracted for a patient with us. Whoever wants to eat he can eat and whoever does not want can leave it.’”
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ شُرْبِ أَلْبَانِ الْأُتُنِ فَقَالَ اشْرَبْهَا.
about drinking yogurt water. He (the Imam) said, ‘You can drink it.’”
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ شُرْبِ أَلْبَانِ الْأُتُنِ فَقَالَ لِي لَا بَأْسَ بِهَا.
“I once asked abu Ja’far (a.s.), about drinking yogurt water. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not unlawful.’”
