✦ Hadith : Cow's milk is a cure, its ghee is a treatment and its meat is a disease
-----------
Narrated by Zuhair Radi Allahu anhu that malika bint umar recommended the cow's ghee for a disease and said
RasoolAllah Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam said about the cow: Its milk is a cure, its ghee is a treatment and its meat is a disease.

✦Explaination : The scholars have reconciled between this hadith and the hadith of his sacrificing the cow for his wives, by stating the intention behind the prohibition of cow’s meat is only referring to consuming large quantities of it. As for eating it sometimes; there is no problem or any harm in this. And it is
without any doubt permissible; because the intent behind the prohibition of beef is to consume large quantities of it; and to use beef as a replacement for the meat of sheep, goats and camels. This is the answer of the scholars.
