Sunnah Coriander ; Coriander ( habb al-suda )
The most respected book of traditions state that the Prophet Muhammad (Salla’Allahu alaihi wa’sallam) said, “ Make yours the seed of coriander, for it is a cure of all diseases except swelling [cancer], and that is a fatal disease.” It is also reported ALLAH informed the Prophet, “ She has been given everything.” And then ALLAH revealed that “she” is coriander. Coriander alleviates flatulence and resolves fevers. It is effective in the treatment of leukoderma, and it opens the subtlest networks of the veins. Excess moisture in the body is dried up by the coriander, and it increases milk flow, urine, and menses. It is particularly useful when a person has cold. The oil of coriander is a treatment for baldness and scalp problems, and prevents grey hair. The smoke of the burning seeds is an insect repellent.
Sunnah Coriander and Qawoot
Qawoot is a powder made up of wheat, barley, sunflower seeds, watermelon seeds, melon seeds, purslane seeds, coriander, hemp-seeds, fennel seeds, poppy seeds, peas, sesame, pistachio, coffee, cardamom, cinnamon, almond, and sugar – all roasted and then ground up. Phew – those are a lot of ingredients. Unfortunately, sourcing the powder is pretty much impossible in most countries so it is recommended to eat these ingredients on their own.
It is suggested that both parents should eat qawoot or the ingredients leading up to conception and during pregnancy as it is narrated that a man told Imam as-Sadiq (as): “O son of the Messenger of Allah (SwT), a son has just been born who is weak and simple-minded.” Imam replied: “Why didn’t you eat qawoot? Eat that and recommend your family to do so too. Surely, qawoot makes flesh grow and makes the bones firm, and a son will not be born from you except that he is strong.” 14.
