Allah said that when Prophet Ibrahim had the honorable guests:
"And he hastened to entertain them with a roasted calf." (51:26)
Ibrahim had roasted the calf on heated stones.
At-Tirmidhi narrated that Umm Salamah said that she once brought the Prophet a roasted piece of meat and that he ate from it and then stood up to pray without repeating the ablution. At-Tirmidhi narrated that Abdullah bin AI-Harith said, “We ate some roasted meat with the Messenger of Allah as inside the mosque.”
Further, At-Tirmidhi narrated that AJ-Mughirah bin Shu’bah said, “I was a guest of the Messenger of Allah one night and he ordered that a piece of meat be roasted and then took the blade and started to cut pieces of it for me. Then, Bilal came to make the call to prayer and the Prophet dropped the blade and said, ‘What is the matter with him?”
The best type of roast is the meat of a one-year-old sheep, then a fat sheep. This type of food is hot and wet, and produces black bile, but is one of the most nutritious foods for healthy, ill, and recovering persons alike.
Cooked meat is better, lighter on the stomach, and has more wetness. Fried meat is less beneficial while meat dried in the sun is the worst kind. In addition, roasting meat on burning stones is better than flame-broiled meats.
In Al-Musnad it is narrated that Anas said that a Jewish man asked the Prophet ate to be his guest and that he offered him some barley bread and melted grease.
In the Sahih it is narrated that Abdullah bin Mughaffal said, “On the Day of Khaibar, a bag full of grease was lowered and I took possession of it and said, “By Allah! I will not give anyone any of it!’
When I turned around I found that the Messenger of Allah “was laughing and did not comment.’”
The best type of grease is that taken from a grown animal. Grease is hot and wet, but less wet than clarified butter. This is why when both grease and clarified butter are melted, grease hardens faster.
Grease helps against throat roughness, it represses and causes rotting. To neutralize the harmful effects of grease, one should use lemon, salt, and ginger. Goat grease constipates more than any other type of grease, while Billy goat grease is more decomposing and helps against stomach ulcers. Goat grease helps against stomach ulcers and is used as an injection to relieve excoriation (the rubbing away of skin from injury or disease), and (spasms of the bladder or anus).
