Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Abbas narrated: “I entered with the Messenger of Allah, I along with Khalid bin Al-Walid , upon Maymunah so she brought us a vessel of Milk. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ drank from it. I was upon his ﷺ right and Khalid was upon his left. He ﷺ said to me: ‘The (turn to) drink is for you, so if you wish, you could choose to grant it to Khalid.’ So I said: ‘I would not prefer anyone (over myself) for your leftovers.’ Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Whoever Allah feeds some food, then let him say,
اللهم بارك لنا فيه وأطعمنا خيرا منه
“O Allah, bless it for us, and feed us better than it.”
Whomsoever Allah gives Milk to drink, then let him say,
اللهم بارك لنا فيه وزدنا منه
O Allah bless it for us, and grant us increase in it.”
Thereafter, Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Abbas said that
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stated,
‘There is nothing that suffices in the place
of food and drink other than Milk.“
(At Tirmidhi, Book on drinks, Chapter on the
most beloved drinks to the Prophet ﷺ)
Just one glass of milk (200 ml) will give you the following nutrients:
- Protein: 14% needed daily intake
- Calcium: 31% needed daily intake
- Vitamin B12: 36% needed daily intake
- Vitamin B2 (riboflavin): 26% needed daily intake
- Iodine: 16% needed daily intake
- Phosphorous: 28% needed daily intake
- Potassium: 16% needed daily intake
Vitamin D is important for the formation, growth, and repair of bones. It also plays a key role in calcium absorption and immune function.
Providing about 8 g per cup, milk is a good source of protein, which is necessary for repairing body tissues and preserving or increasing lean muscle mass.
