‘Abdu’l-Bahá - The Perfect Exemplar : He used to consume castor oil for his constipations.

In his writings Baha'u'llah instructed all the Baha'is to turn to his eldest son, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. So all the Baha'is suffering from Constipation should turn to ‘Abdu’l-Bahá for the solution.

Check the Red Part - For some reasons Ahang Rabbani left it untranslated...!

The untranslated section (marked above) reads as follows :

حضرت عبدالبهاء گاهی اوقات محض تخلیه ی از فضول و اعتدال مزاج، فقط روغن کرچک را اختیار می فرمودند با پرهیز.

Translation :

"His highness ‘Abdu’l-Bahá for the defection of feces and the health of his bowels would only use castor oil along with abstinence"

This may be the reason for his obesity. He also used to smoke Cigarettes gifted to him by Western Pilgrims.

‘Abdu’l-Bahá and his fat belly.
