Mee Kasar Mee Siam

Friends of Nazry...

Mr Shali is a very good eating companion of myself. We have shared some exotic food eating moments at many unconventional places. We even have had porcupine meat, "napuh" meat in a restaurant in Seremban. Unfortunately, today we had a bit of argument because of this ordinary Mee Kasar and Mee Siam.

This morning, I bought 3 types of Mee. I ate the Mee Tiau and left out Mee Kasar and Mee Siam to be shared with my eating companion, Mr Shali. I called Mr Shali early and inform him that I had "tapau 2 bungkus" in the pantry. I thought he is eating that in the morning.... but he did not!! That's ok with me since lunch is always available.

Upon lunch time, I called Mr Shali again to ask which type of Mee he wants to eat. To my surprise, he said that ...."I want to eat Nasi and not Mee". Food wastage is never in my vocabulary. Bluntly I said to Mr Shali that I am dissapointed with such a remark. I have always taught my wife and my kids that to appreciate food - be it delicious or not!! Food is God's gift for all and should be cherished at all time ... regardless!!

I put down the phone.. not expecting Mr Shali to call me back!! I was furious and very dissapointed, sigh!! I sincerely thought .... I just lost a good eating companion. I actually made a new year resolution to force-add Mr Shali's weight by at least another 10 kilogram. To my surprise, half and hour later, Mr Shali asked me to eat the Mee Kasar and Mee Siam together with Nasi. This is a good sign.... as I never want to lose a friend because of food!!

Today at least, I have another person to share lunch with.

Moral of the story:
1) Any wastage (food, water, time etc) is Devil's job - not human
2) We must always be thankful and appreciate food - regardless of its presentation
3) Friendship shall always superseeds disagreement

Kurma, Madu, Kismis anyone???

Friends of Nazry...

Kurma

Abu Abdillah a.s. bersabda: "Buah kurma adalah salah satu buah yang berasal dari syurga dan dapat mensirnakan pengaruh sihir".

Abu Abdillah a.s. bersabda: "Orang yang memakan 7 buah kurma yang baik sebelum sarapan, maka pada hari itu dia tidak akan tertimpa racun, sihir dan tidak diganggu shaitan".

Imam Ja'far Ash-Shadiq a.s. bersabda: "Barangsiapa memakan 7 buah kurma yang baik, maka cacing-cacing yang ada di perutnya akan mati".

Nabi saw bersabda: "Rumah yang tidak ada kurma di dalamnya, akan menyebabkan penghuninya kurang sehat".

Nabi saw bersabda: "Berilah makanan kurma pada wanita yang hamil sebelum dia melahirkan, sebab yang demikian itu akan menyebabkan anaknya menjadi seorang yang tabah dan bertakwa (bersih hatinya)".

Kismis

Nabi saw bersabda: "Barangsiapa memakan kismis merah sebanyak 21 biji setiap hari sebelum sarapan pagi, maka dia tidak akan tertimpa penyakit kecuali kematian".

Imam Ali a.s. bersabda: "Barangsiapa memakan 21 biji kismis merah, maka dia tidak akan melihat pada jasadnya suatu yang tidak disenangi".

Imam Ali a.s. bersabda: "Kismis dapat menguatkan jantung, menghilangkan penyakit, menghilangkan panas dan memulihkan kesehatan jiwa".

Pada riwayat lain dari Abi Ja'far At-thusi disebutkan bahwa kismis dapat menghilangkan lendir dan menyehatkan jiwa".

Nabi saw bersabda: "Biasakanlah memakan kismis karena kismis dapat menghilangkan kepahitan (empedu/cairan kuning), menghilangkan lendir, menyehatkan badan, membaguskan rupa, menguatkan saraf dan menghilangkan letih".


Madu

Dari Imam Ja'far Ash-Shadiq a.s., beliau bersabda: "Rasul saw sangat menyenangi madu".

Dari Imam Ja'far Ash-Shadiq a.s., beliau bersabda: "Biasakanlah dirimu memperoleh dua obat yaitu meminum madu dan membaca Al-Quran".

Rasul saw bersabda: "Barangsiapa minum madu setiap bulan dengan niat melakukan nasehat Al-Qur'an, maka Allah SWT akan menyembuhkannya dari 77 penyakit".

Rasul saw bersabda: "Barangsiapa ingin memiliki hafalan yang kuat hendaklah dia meminum madu".

Rasul saw bersabda: "Sebaik-baik minuman ialah madu karena dia dapat mengkonsentrasikan hati dan menghilangkan dingin yang ada di dalam dada".

Dari Imam Ali a.s. beliau bersabda: "Madu adalah obat dari segala penyakit, tiada penyakit di dalamnya, ia dapat menghilangkan lendir dan membersihkan hati".

Rasul saw bersabda: "Allah SWT telah meletakan berkah di dalam madu dan menjadikannya sebagai ubat dari rasa nyeri, dan madu telah didoakan oleh 70 Nabi".

SO APA LAGI..... MAKAN! MAKAN! MAKAN!
