شـــحـم Sha’hm (Fat)

شَحْمٌ: ثبت فى "المسند" عن أنس"أنَّ يهودياً أضاف رسولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقدَّم له خُبزَ شَعِيرِ، وإهالَةً سَنِخَةً"، و"الإهالة": الشَّحْم المذاب، والألْية. و"السَّنِخَةُ": المتغيرة. وثبت فى "الصحيح": عن عبد الله بن مُغَفَّل، قال:"دُلِّى جِرَابٌ من شَحْمٍ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ، فالتزمتُه وقلتُ: واللهِ لا أُعطى أحداً منه شيئاً، فالتفتُّ، فإذا رسولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَضْحَكُ، ولم يقل شيئاً".

أجود الشحمِ ما كان مِن حيوان مكتمل، وهو حارٌ رطب، وهو أقلُّ رطوبةً من السمن، ولهذا لو أُذيب الشحمُ والسمن كان الشَحمُ أسرعَ جموداً. وهو ينفع من خشونة الحلق، ويُرخى ويعفن، ويُدفع ضرره باللَّيْمون المملُوح، والزنجبيل، وشحمُ المَعز أقبضُ الشحوم، وشحم التُّيوس أشدُّ تحليلاً، وينفع مِن قروح الأمعاء، وشحمُ العَنز أقوى فى ذلك، ويُحتقَن به للسَّحَج والزَّحِير.

In Al-Musnad, it is narrated that Anas Radi Allaho Anh said that a Jewish man asked Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam to be his guest and that he offered him some barley bread and melted FAT.


In the Sahih, it is narrated that Abdullah bin Mughaffal Radi Allaho Anh said, On the Day of Khyber, a bag full of FAT was lowered and I took possession of it and said, "By Allah! I will not share it with anyone else". When I turned around, I found that Messenger of Allah (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) was laughing and did not comment".


The best type of FAT is that taken from a grown animal. FAT is hot and wet but less wetter than Ghee. This is why when both FAT and Ghee are melted, FAT hardens faster.


FAT helps against throat roughness, it represses and causes rotting. To neutralize the harmful effects of FAT, one should use lemon, salt and ginger. In addition, goat's FAT constipates more than any other type of fats, while Billy goat's FAT is more decomposing and helps against stomach ulcers and is used as an injection to relieve Excoriation (the rubbing away of skin from injury or disease), and (spasms of the bladder or anus).


We have found that fat from camel's hump is the most delicious, it is more tastier than butter & melts in the mouth so quickly.
