INSTRUCTION OF ISA IBN MARIYAM (A) FOR THE AILMENT OF PALE FACE & DARK EYES

Twenty-second: Imam ‘Ali Amir al-Mu’minin (‘a) is reported to have said: Jesus the son of Mary (‘a) passed by a village and noticed that the faces of its inhabitants were yellowish and their eyes were dark. They therefore complained to him about the many ailments from which they were suffering. Prophet Jesus (‘a) said to them, “This is because you eat the meat of camels before you wash it. No animal departs this life unless impurity associates it.” When they followed his instruction and started washing the meat before they would cook it, they recovered their health and got rid of the past ailments.”

Passing by another village, Prophet Jesus (‘a) noticed that the teeth of its inhabitants were decayed and their faces were swollen. He thus said to them, “When you sleep, keep your mouths open and do not shut them.” As they followed his instruction, their disease disappeared.
