Zamzam Water
Zamzam Water is the best, freshest, most beneficial, most beloved and most precious water there is. Further, Zamzam water was dug up by Jibril and the source that Prophet Isma’il(AS) drank from.
In the Sahihain it is narrated that the Prophet(SAWS) said to Abu Tharr, who remained at the Ka’bah for 40 days without food (or drink) living on Zamzam water: “It is a nutritious food.” Muslim added that the Prophet(SAWS) said: “And a cure from ailment.”
Furthermore, Ibn Majah narrated that Jabir bin ‘Abdullah related from the Prophet(SAWS) that he said: “Zamzam water is for whatever was intended behind drinking it.”
We were told that ‘Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak once said. “O Allah Ibn Al-Mu’ammil told us that Muhammad bin Al-Munkar related from Jabir(RA) that your Prophet(SAWS) said: “The water of Zamzam is for the purpose it is drank for, and I drink it to relieve my thirst on the Day of Ressurection.” This Hadith is of the Hasan (Sound) type.
Many other people and I have tried drinking Zamzam water for the purpose of being cured from various illnesses, and by the will of Allah, I was indeed cured from several illnesses. I also saw some people who lived on Zamzam water for a long time, fifteen days or a little longer without complaining from hunger. Such people would perform Tawaf with other people at a normal pace. Someone even told me that Zamzam water was his only food and drink for forty days and that he still had enough strength to fast and perform Tawaf many times.
Misk (Musk)
Muslim narrated that Abu Sai’d Al-Khudri said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “The best type of perfume is Musk.”
In the Sahihain it is also narrated that Aishsh (RA) said: “I used to anoint the Prophet (peace be upon him) with perfumed Musk before assuming Ihram, on the Day of the Sacrifice and before performing Tawaf around the (Sacred) House.”
Musk is the king of all perfumes, it has the best aroma. Other types of perfumes are usually compared to Musk, but Musk is never compared to them. Also, the hills and sands of Paradise are made of Musk.
Musk is a hot, dry substance of the second degree, and it brings comfort and joy to the hearts and strengthens the inner organs when it is drunk or smelled. Musk also brings strength and comfort to the external organs when anointed with it. Musk is profitable for old people and those who have excessive skin moistures, especially during winter, and also helps against fainting, shaking and the general weakness in the body as it excites the instinctive heat. Musk clears the white part in the eye and dries excess moisture in it, and also dissipates swelling in various organs. Musk also works as an antidote for some poisons, and helps against snakebite. It has many other benefits.
Watermelon
Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to eat watermelon with ripe dates, saying: “The hotness of this substance (dates) neutralizes the coolness of that (watermelon).”
There are several Ahadith regarding watermelon none of them are authentic, except the Hadith that we mentioned above.
Green watermelon is cold and wet and is sweet. it also works as a cleanser (for the stomach and the intestines). Watermelon departs the stomach more quickly than cucumber and quickly blends with whatever substances are present in the stomach. It is beneficial to eat watermelon when it is warm, but when it is cold it is better to have it with some ginger to offset its harm.
Watermelon should be eaten before the meals. Otherwise, it will cause nausea. Some doctors said that when watermelon is, “Eaten before the meal, it cleanses the stomach and removes ailments.”
