Benefits of Fig (Teen) using guidance of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam.

اللَّهُمَّ إنِّي عَبْدُك وابْنُ عَبْدِكَ وابْنُ أمَتِكَ ناصِيَتي بِيَدِكَ، ماضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ، أسْألُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بهِ نَفْسَكَ أو أنَزلْتَهُ في كِتابِكَ أوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أو اسْتأْثَرْتَ بهِ في عِلْمِ الغَيْبِ عِندَك أن تجْعَلَ القُرآنَ العَظيمَ رَبيعَ قَلْبي ونُورَ بَصَري جَلاءَ حُزْنِي وذَهَابَ هَمِّي

 TEEN (Figs) Benefits of FIGS as explained by Ibn Al Qayyam; Figs (along with vinegar) are one of the best cures for SPLEEN  diseases:

 تـين : لما لم يكن التين بأرض الحجاز والمدينة، لم يأت له ذكر في السنة، فإن أرضه تنافي أرض النخل، ولكن قد أقسم الله به في كتابه، لكثرة منافعه وفوائده، والصحيح‏:‏ أن المقسم به‏:‏ هو التين المعروف‏.‏ وهو حار، وفي رطوبته ويبوسته قولان، وأجوده‏:‏ الأبيض الناضج القشر، يجلو رمل الكلى والمثانة، ويؤمن من السموم، وهو أغذى من جميع الفواكه وينفع خشونة الحلق والصدر، وقصبة الرئة، ويغسل الكبد والطحال، وينقي الخلط البلغمي من المعدة، ويغذو البدن غذاء جيدًا، إلا أنه يولد القمل إذا أكثر منه جدًا‏.‏ ويابسه يغذو وينفع العصب، وهو مع الجوز واللوز محمود، قال جالينوس‏:‏

 وإذا أكل مع الجوز والسذاب قبل أخذ السم القاتل، نفع، وحفظ من الضرر‏.‏ ويذكر عن أبي الدرداء‏:‏ أهدي إلى النبي ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ طبق من تين، فقال‏:‏ ‏(‏كلوا و أكل منه، وقال‏:‏ لو قلت‏:‏ إن فاكهة نزلت من الجنة قلت‏:‏ هذه، لأن فاكهة الجنة بلا عجم، فكلوا منها فإنها تقطع البواسير، وتنفع من النقرس‏)‏‏.‏ وفي ثبوت هذا نظر‏.

‏ واللحم منه أجود، ويعطش المحرورين، ويسكن العطش الكائن عن البلغم المالح، وينفع السعال المزمن، ويدر البول، ويفتح سدد الكبد والطحال، ويوافق الكلى والمثانة، ولأكله على الريق منفعة عجيبة في تفتيح مجاري الغذاء وخصوصًا باللوز والجوز، وأكله مع الأغذية الغليظة رديء جدًا، والتوت الأبيض قريب منه، لكنه أقل تغذية وأضر بالمعدة‏.‏ 

 The Sunnah does not mention figs as they did not grow in Hejaaz area or Madinah al Munawwarah. FIGS require a climate different to what is essential for growing the dates. ALLAH Has Sworn by FIGS in His Book because of its tremendous benefits & uses. Figs are hot and either dry or wet. Best kind of figs are the white kind when they are ripe, they cleanse the sand that accumulates in the liver & prostate & serve as a preventive substance against poisons, figs are more nutritious than all other types of fruits & help relieve the roughness in chest, throat & trachea. 

Figs are good for liver & spleen cleansing, purify the phlegm that accumulates in the stomach & provide nourishment for the body. Yet figs make one more susceptible of lice if eaten in excess. Dried figs have a high nutritional value & they strengthen the nerves, it is the best to eat dried figs with almonds & walnut. 

Jalinus (Galen) wrote that figs when eaten with walnut & rue prove of an antidote against poisons.

Abu Darda Radiy Allahu Anhu narrates that someone sent a dish of FIGS to Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam (as a gift), & he asked his companions to eat them, he ate them by himself & said that “If any fruit from the paradise could come in this world, it would have been FIGS, because fruits of Jannah (paradise) will be SEEDLESS, eat the figs as it cures PILES & is beneficial for the GOUT”, but we are doubtful if this Hadith is authentic. Pulp of figs is so wonderful, creates thirst among hot-natured people & quenches the thirst which results by phlegm, very affective for cough, it is a diuretic, opens & clears the clogs of liver & spleen; it is a cure for kidney & bladder infections. 

 When figs are eaten at empty stomach especially with almonds & walnut, they clean the entire digestive system, but figs should not e taken with heavy foods, white mulberry has the same benefits as that of 

figs but mulberry is less nutritious.

Science & Hadees regarding Figs Nabiy صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said regarding figs that, “If I had to mention a fruit that descended from paradise I would say this is it because the paradisiacal fruits do not have pit, eat from these fruits for they prevent hemorrhoids, prevent piles and help gout” (Arthritis). Figs are a top source of fiber, as well as potassium and vitamin B6. Fiber results in bulkier stools, which lessen the incidence of constipation, hemorrhoids and colon cancer. 

Fiber also lowers 

cholesterol and the risk of heart disease. Just one fig provides 20% of the USRDA of fiber.

 A Harvard University study of 43,757 men ages 40 to 75 found that those who got the most fiber had about half the risk of getting a heart attack as those who got the least. Furthermore, men who added just 10 grams of fiber a day to their diet (6 figs) lowered their incidence of heart disease by 30%.
