جُبن Jubn ~Cheese

جُبن : في "السنن" عن عبد الله بن عمر قال: "أتي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بجبنة في تبوك، فدعا بسكين، وسمى وقطع" رواه أبو داود، وأكله الصحابة رضي الله عنهم بالشام، والعراق، والرطب منه غير المملوح جيد للمعدة، هين السلوك في الأعضاء، يزيد في اللحم، ويلين البطن تلييناً معتدلاً، والمملوح أقل غذاء من الرطب، وهو رديء للمعدة، مؤذ للأمعاء، والعتيق يعقل البطن، وكذا المشوي، وينفع القروح ويمنع الإسهال. وهو بارد رطب، فإن استعمل مشوياً، كان أصلح لمزاجه، فإن النار تصلحه وتعدله، وتلطف جوهره، وتطيب طعمه ورائحته. والعتيق المالح، حار يابس، وشيه يصلحه أيضاً بتلطيف جوهره، وكسر حرافته لما تجذبه النار منه من الأجزاء الحارة اليابسة المناسبة لها، والمملح منه يهزل، ويولد حصاة الكلى والمثانة، وهو رديء للمعدة، وخلطة بالملطفات أردأ بسبب تنفيذها له إلى المعدة  .

In the Sunan of Abu Dawood, it is narrated that Abdullah Bin Umar Radi Allaho Anhuma (May Allah be Pleased with him and his father) said that Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam was brought some cheese while in the area of TABUK and that he asked for a knife, mentioned Allah's Name and then cut it. Also, the Sahabah (companions of Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) used to eat cheese in Iraq & Shaam (Greater Syria) areas.

Un-salted cheese is good for the stomach, easy on the body organs, produces flesh and relaxes the stomach. Salted cheese, on the other hand, is less nutritious and is bad for the stomach and intestines. Old and grilled cheese heats the stomach and is beneficial in cases of ulcers and diarrhea.

Cheese is cold and wet and is better when it is grilled because the fire makes it milder, softer, and better tasting with a pleasant scent. Old salted cheese is hot and dry, and boiling also makes it softer and less sour, because the fire extracts the hot residue from the cheese. Salted cheese makes the body weak and causes stones in the liver & urinary bladder / prostate. It is also bad for the stomach, and mixing it with some other soothing ingredients (what people think will probably make it milder) is even worse, because these substances allow the cheese an easy access to the stomach, making its job easier to spoil the digestion power.
