The document discusses plants highlighted in the Quran and Hadith, focusing on mushrooms. It provides three sayings from the Prophet Muhammad where he states that truffles are a type of "manna" which was sent down to the people of Israel and that their juice is a medicine for the eyes. The document also discusses mushrooms being an important source of nutrients and medicines, and that biochemical analyses have shown mushrooms contain antioxidants and compounds that can inhibit aldose reductase.

Sa'id bin Zaid reported: I heard Allah's Apostle (Sallallaho Alaihi Wassallum) as saying:
Truffles are a kind of 'Manna' and their juice is a medicine for the eyes.
Sa'id bin Zaid reported Allah's Messenger (Sallallaho Alaihi Wassallum) as saying: Truffles
are a kind of 'Manna' which Allah the Glorious and Exalted, sent down upon the people
of Israil,and its juice is a medicine for the eyes (Farooqi,1998).
Hazrat Suhaib (R.A). reported Rasulallah (may peace be upon him) as saying: Truffles are
a kind of 'Manna' which Allah sent down upon Bani Israil and their juice is a medicine
for the eyes (Farooqi, 1998).
Abu Huraira narrates: One day the companions of Rasulullah (SAW) said to Him (SAW)
Truffles are the small pox of the earth
Upon this Rasulullah (SAW) said,
Truffles are 'Manna' and their juice is the medicine for the eyes (Farooqi, 1998).

11. Mushroom
Truffle is a fruiting body of a subterranean fungus,
the majority of which belongs to the genus Tuber.
Mushrooms are an important source of nutrients and
physiologically beneficial, non-toxic medicines.141 In
fact, mushrooms have been used in folk medicine
throughout the world since ancient times. The
Prophet, peace be upon him, said: “The kam'ah
(truffle) is from al-Mann (which is a food mentioned in
the Quran, Surah al-Baqarah), and its water is a cure
for the eye

12. Mushroom
Biochemical analyses have shown mushrooms to contain
large amounts of vitamin A, C and β-carotene, all of which
are known for their antioxidant properties.141 Aldose
reductase is a cytosolic NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase
enzyme that catalyses the reduction of glucose to sorbitol as
the first step of the noxious polyol pathway of glucose
metabolism. Lee et al.142 isolated eight biochemical
compounds from the truffles of Ganoderma applanatum,
and the isolated compounds were found to exhibit inhibitory
properties against aldose reductase.
