كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ وَ أَنَا أَسْمَعُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي أَجِدُ الضَّعْفَ فِي بَدَنِي فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلَيْكَ بِاللَّبَنِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنْبِتُ اللَّحْمَ وَ يَشُدُّ الْعَظْمَ .


Translation

Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar, and someone else, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad Al Jowhary, from Abu Al Hassan Al Asbahany who said, ‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so a man said to him<sup>asws</sup> and I was listening, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! I find the weakness in my body’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is upon you with (drinking) the milk, for it builds the flesh and strengthens the bones’.
