Hadith.4235 - Musa ibn Bakr al-Wasiti narrated from Abu al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as) that he said
"Meat nourishes the flesh, and fish melts the body. Gourd increases intelligence, and eating eggs frequently increases offspring. No sick person has sought healing with anything better than honey. And whoever consumes a morsel of fat expels an equal amount of illness from his body."
4235 - وَ رَوَى مُوسَى بْنُ بَكْرٍ اَلْوَاسِطِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ : "اَللَّحْمُ يُنْبِتُ اَللَّحْمَ وَ اَلسَّمَكُ يُذِيبُ اَلْجَسَدَ وَ اَلدُّبَّاءُ يَزِيدُ فِي اَلدِّمَاغِ وَ كَثْرَةُ أَكْلِ اَلْبَيْضِ يَزِيدُ فِي اَلْوَلَدِ وَ مَا اِسْتَشْفَى مَرِيضٌ بِمِثْلِ اَلْعَسَلِ وَ مَنْ أَدْخَلَ جَوْفَهُ لُقْمَةَ شَحْمٍ أَخْرَجَتْ مِثْلَهَا مِنَ اَلدَّاءِ".
