Quince – Benefits and Virtues

In order to cover Quince – Benefits and Virtues we have a look at a famous hadith regarding it. Hazrat Talha رضي الله عنه says that he went to Nabi ﷺ & Nabi ﷺ had Safarjal (السفرجل) in His Hand & said Take it, oh! Talha for it soothes the heart.

[Ibn Majah: 3494: Book. 29; English vol. 4; Book. 29, Hadees. 3369]

The quince is a very nutritious fruit that also has a very low calorie density. One 100-gram quince fruit contains just 57 calories, according to the USDA National Nutrient database. It’s also a great source of dietary fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. The fruit contains tannins including catechin and epicatechin and has a very high concentration of vitamin C. Quince is also a good source of calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium and copper. Because quince fruit is full of pectin, it is most often found as a jam, jelly, marmalade or compote, according to the Organic Authority. It can also be roasted in the oven and served with a fall-inspired meal or, similar to apples and pears, is great when baked in pies, tarts and muffins.

Hazrat Jabir Bin Abdullah رضي الله عنه says that Nabi ﷺ said: “Eat Safarjal (السفرجل) (Quince) because it heals cardiac problems & removes heaviness from chest.
[Kanz al-Ummal: 28258]

Hazrat Anas Bin Malik رضي الله عنه says that Nabi ﷺ said: “By eating Safarjal (السفرجل) (Quince), heaviness in Qalb (heart) reduces.
[Kanz al-Ummal: 28261]

Hazrat Auif Bin Malik رضي الله عنه says that Nabi ﷺ said: “Eat Safarjal (Quince) because it prevents Cardiac Problems & strengthens the heart.
[Kanz al-Ummal: 28260]
