6⃣3⃣عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ: أَكَلْنَا عِنْدَ الرِّضَا رُءُوساً فَدَعَا بِالسَّوِيقِ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي قَدِ امْتَلَأْتُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ قَلِيلَ السَّوِيقِ يَهْضِمُ الرُّءُوسَ وَ هُوَ دَوَاؤُهُ
📚 Tibb al-A'imma, p. 67
Imam Baqir (peace be upon him) said: How great is the blessing of Sawiq! If a person drinks it while full, it aids digestion, and if drunk while hungry, it satisfies! Sawiq is a good provision for travel and home!
7⃣3⃣عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ الْبَاقِرِ علیه السلام قَالَ: مَا أَعْظَمَ بَرَکَةَ السَّوِیقِ إِذَا شَرِبَهُ الْإِنْسَانُ عَلَی الشِّبَعِ أَمْرَأَ وَ هَضَمَ الطَّعَامَ وَ إِذَا شَرِبَهُ الْإِنْسَانُ عَلَی الْجُوعِ أَشْبَعَهُ وَ نِعْمَ الزَّادُ فِی السَّفَرِ وَ الْحَضَرِ السَّوِیقُ
📚 Al-Mahasin, p. 490
Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) narrated from his ancestors that almond Sawiq mixed with Tabarzd sugar was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family). He said: This is the food of the prosperous and indulgent after me!
8⃣3⃣عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْداللَّهِ علیه السلام عَنْ آبَائِهِ علیهم السلام قَالَ: إِنَّ النَّبِیَّ صلی الله علیه و آله أُتِیَ بِسَوِیقِ لَوْزٍ فِیهِ سُکَّرُ طَبَرْزَدٍ فَقَالَ هَذَا طَعَامُ الْمُتْرَفِینَ بَعْدِی.
✅ Sawiq or Qawut is one of the recommended foods in narrations. According to narrations and lexicons, it is made from things like wheat, barley, rice, lentils, apples, sorghum, almonds, etc. It is a food that was established through divine revelation.
✅ According to some of the above narrations, its preparation involves washing the grain or, if it does not require washing, roasting it in a container until it becomes toasted and then grinding it into a fine powder.
✅ Its consumption varies depending on the desired benefits, but generally, it is either consumed dry or mixed with water and drunk.
It is also used mixed with olive oil, cumin water, or sugar for various purposes.
✅ Some doctors claim that roasting the grain before grinding is a Sunni method for preparing Sawiq, while roasting after grinding is a Shia method!
Although we have not seen any evidence for their claim, studying the above Shia narrations makes it clear that in the case of rice Sawiq, the rice is first washed, then the grain itself is roasted, and then it is ground. These narrations refute the claims of these doctors. Therefore, to prepare Sawiq, the grain is first roasted as needed and then ground and used.
✅ There are very important points about the properties and significance of Sawiq in the above narrations. By studying the narrations carefully, you can benefit from them. Insha'Allah.
