time to move along! will check pm's.
Someone Arab (can't remember if Sunni or shia) told me that Huzoor 3alaihis salam recommended Hazrat Ali radi Allahu 3anhu to eat harees and it helps in building male vitality.
1. Is there a hadith in Ahlus Sunnah for it?
2. If yes, does anyone know the recipe for the harees that was eaten in Prophet 3alaihis salam time?
Afaik, quite a few Arab cultures have their versions of harees, the Egyptians, Yemenis, Khaleejis, Moroccans (harsa), and of course us desis (haleem/harees) - essentially a mixture of wheat, grains, and pulses, yes? (Please correct me)
with meat (and masalas) for us desis.
North indians & pakistanis - until a few yrs back everyone used to call it haleem, then we were told it's not allowed to call it that coz Al-Haleem is one of Allah's names. (People are told to call it khichda or laheem instead, khichda actually originally being a slightly different dish with same ingredients as far as us northies are concerned)
3) If anyone knows Ala Hazrat's or Mufti Azam Hind's (rahimahumullah) ruling on it (permitting or forbidding calling it haleem) plz do advise.
Hyderabadi/Deccan - as per my friends, there's two versions of the story as I've heard... 1) it always was called harees 2) just like us northies, they too used to call it haleem until a few yrs back when the maulanas said no and asked them to call it harees instead.
If it has background in hadith, it's just that much better to call it harees.
Reason for investigating - attributing it to hadith requires sincere investigation. May Allah help us all.
