Benefits of pomegranates: Imam Ja'far As-Sadiq and Imam Ali (as) - Digestion

Eat the pomegranate with its pulp, for it is an abdomenic (dibagh). Every grain of it which settles in the abdomen is life for the heart (al-qalb) and illumination for the soul, and the temptations of Satan are quelled for forty mornings.  The pomegranate is among the fuits of Paradise.

Imam Ja'far As-Sadiq (as) (reported from his grandfather Imam Ali (as)




Allah, the mighty and exalted, has said;
Therein fruits, and palm trees, and pomegranates 955;680."

Whoever eats pomegranate before sleeping is secure in himself until morning."

Imam Ja'far As-Sadiq (as)

From Al-Harith b. al-Mughira, that he said:

"I complained to Abu 'Abd allah, peace be upon him, of a heaviness (thiqal) I felt in my heart (as-fu'ad), and of much indigestion after eating.

He said:

"Take of this sweet pomegranate and eat it with its pulp, for it is good for the abdomen and will cure the indigestion and digest your food."
