شیر؛ یکی از نشانه‌های خدا

نحوةٌ تولید شیرء یکی از یات خداوند و از نشانه‌های علم و قدرت اوست. شیر گواراء از میان غذاهای هضم‌شده و خون ایجاد می‌شود؛ در حالی که با آنها مخلوط نمی‌شود و طعم و بوی آنها را ندارد. آری» همان خدایی که چنین قدرتی دارد می‌تواند اجزای بدن انسان را پس از پوسیدن و متلاشی شدن جمع کرده او را زنده کند (برای اطلاع بیشتر از نحوة تولید شیر و فواید آن» به تفسیر نمونه و ذیل همین آیه مراجعه کنید.)! > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh.
