TAMAR (Dried Dates)



Dried dates are called TAMAR & some of their benefits were quoted by Ibn Al Qayyam as under:


تـمر : ثبت في الصحيح عنه ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ‏:‏ ‏(‏من تصبح بسبع تمرات وفي لفظ‏:‏ من تمر العالية لم يضره ذلك اليوم سم ولا سحر‏)‏‏.‏ وثبت عنه أنه قال‏:‏ ‏(‏بيت لا تمر فيه جياع أهله‏)‏‏.‏ وثبت عنه أكل التمر بالزبد، وأكل التمر بالخبز، وأكله مفردًا‏.‏ وهو حار في الثانية، وهل هو رطب في الأولى، أو يابس فيها‏؟‏‏.‏ على قولين‏.‏ وهو مقو للكبد، ملين للطبع، يزيد في الباه، ولا سيما مع حب الصنوبر، ويبرئ من خشونة الحلق، ومن لم يعتده كأهل البلاد الباردة فإنه يورث لهم السدد، ويؤذي الأسنان، ويهيج الصداع، ودفع ضرره باللوز والخشخاش، وهو من أكثر الثمار تغذية للبدن بما فيه من الجوهر الحار الرطب، وأكله على الريق يقتل الدود، فإنه مع حرارته فيه قوة ترياقية، فإذا أديم استعماله على الريق، خفف مادة الدود، وأضعفه وقلله، أو قتله، وهو فاكهة وغذاء، ودواء وشراب وحلوى‏.‏



In Sahih Hadith, it is narrated that Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasalam said "Whoever ate seven dates in the morning from the area of Aaliyah will not be harmed by poison or magic for the rest of that day". He also said "People of a house where there are no dates are hungry". Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasalam ate dried dates with butter, with bread & alone.


Tamar is hot in the second degree & either wet or dry in the second degree. Dried dates strengthen the liver, relax the bowels, increase semen production, especially when taken with pine & 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 & cause headaches, unless they are eaten with almonds & poppy.


Dried dates are among the most nutritious fruits; their essence is hot & wet. Also when someone eats dates in the beginning of the day, they help kill worms. Dried dates are hot & they have the strength of an antidote against worms, killing / decreasing their count, especially when dried dates are taken frequently on an empty stomach. Dried dates are a fruit, type of food, a cure, a drink & a sweet.

I love dates, but they're too expensive. They're about $8 per pound over here.

Do you have anymore information on how they used to consume pines? I know it's sold in pill form today so I'm curious to see how they processed it.
