شَكَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) ذِرْباً وَجَدْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنْ شُرْبِ أَلْبَانِ الْبَقَرِ فَقَالَ لِي أَ شَرِبْتَهَا قَطُّ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ نَعَمْ مِرَاراً فَقَالَ كَيْفَ وَجَدْتَهَا فَقُلْتُ وَجَدْتُهَا تَدْبُغُ الْمَعِدَةَ وَ تَكْسُو الْكُلْيَتَيْنِ الشَّحْمَ وَ تُشَهِّي الطَّعَامَ فَقَالَ لِي لَوْ كَانَتْ أَيَّامُهُ لَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَ أَنْتَ إِلَى يَنْبُعَ حَتَّى نَشْرَبَهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Yahya Bin Ibrahim Bin Abu Al Balaad, from his father, from his grandfather who said, ‘I complained to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> of stomach pain, so he<sup>asws</sup> said to me:’ What prevents you from drinking the cow milk? Do you drink it at all?’ So I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Yes, repeatedly’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘How do you find it as?’ So I said, ‘I find it as repairing for the stomach, and a covering for fat of the two kidneys, and making me desirous for the food’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If it was its days, I<sup>asws</sup> and you would have gone out to Yanba’a until we drink it’.
