And the Prophet (s.a.w) said, “Dates have 9
qualities, ‘They strengthen the back,
make the Shaytan mad, make food
healthy, improve taste, increase in eye
sight and hearing, make you closer to
Allah The Almighty, drive Shaytan away,
increase intercourse and make diseases
go away.”
And Imam Al-Sadiq (a.s) narrated that
Onions make the skin softer.

The eggplant tree seems to be a very special
kind of plant. In fact, the Prophet of Allah
(s.a.w) said about it, “Eggplant is the first
tree that believed in Allah(swt)." And he
also said, “Eat eggplant, for verily, it is a
tree that I have seen in Paradise. It has
bore witness that Allah is the Truth, and
it has bore witness to my Prophethood
and to the Wilayah of Ali (a.s).”
It has been narrated by Imam Ali (a.s) that
onions help to cure the flu.
But there are countless other health
benefits of onions that have been narrated
by the Ahlul Bayt (a.s).
Here are a few examples:
“Onions refresh your eyes, clean your
heart, increase the water in the back, give
speed to your steps and walking, remove
the darkness from your face and remove
exhaustion form your body." – Prophet
Muhammad (s.a.w)
It is especially recommended to eat
eggplant in September and October, as
Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (a.s) said, “Eggplant in
the season when dates are collected from
the trees is a cure for any disease."
Furthermore it was narrated by the Prophet
(s.a.w), “Boil [eggplant] in water or mix it
with oil or mash it because it increases
the wisdom.”
Last but not least eggplant is supposed to
help against depression. Abu Abdullah (a.s)
said, “Eat eggplant, for verily, it is good
for Black Bile (Melancholy) .”
