LaMar’s Signature as of 4/29/08:

From the bee cometh forth a fluid of various hues, which yieldeth medicine to mankind. Truly is this a sign for people who ponder…-al-Qur’an 16:70

Indeed was I amazed at this sign. So there to MSA did I travel to ponder upon the woundrous words:

usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/016.qmt.html#016.068

16:67

And of the fruits of the palms and the grapes-- you obtain from them intoxication and goodly provision; most surely there is a sign in this for a people who ponder.

16:68

And your Lord revealed to the bee saying: Make hives in the mountains and in the trees and in what they build:

16:69

Then eat of all the fruits and walk in the ways of your Lord submissively. There comes forth from within it a beverage of many colours, in which there is healing for men; most surely there is a sign in this for a people who reflect.

16:70

And Allah has created you, then He causes you to die, and of you is he who is brought back to the worst part of life, so that after having knowledge he does not know anything; surely Allah is Knowing, Powerful.

And wondered did I, …oh where did LaMar get those words? 🤷

Reading the words of the Prophet (PBUH), i was re-affirmed with the ancient knowledge that healings come from the juices of fruits. Not from bees!
 
In the passage you cited (obviously a slightly different translation from LaMar’s) LaMar’s quote is from verse 69, not verse 70. The fluid could possibly be seen as coming from the bees or from the fruit, depending in the translator.

And honey does have some beneficial uses, medically speaking.

It’s nice to see kooky Agnes still jumping up and down, begging for my attention.

I dug that verse just for the Mormon cultural connection (the bee is our totem animal). The actual Arabic word is abdomen of the bee…so it’d be “from the bee abdomen cometh”, which I felt free to truncate given my own poetic license.
 
But anyway I think your translation is correct.

yeah i know…part of my irresistibility comes from my being bold at being sincere. 😃

…and part of it comes from Agnos’ being * put something negative here *
 
dear mods, you can close this thread now.

i am happy to announce that i made a fool of myself on this one harharhar. 😃

:rotfl: TOTEM ANIMAL!! how pseudo can you get?? Ah yes, the socialistic bee hive. Do you know anything about the sex-life of the honey bee?? Definitely unMormon. 😃 The ultimate matriarchy.

Truncated to leave it open whether you are thinking of bee poop or bee stings or nectar? 😃 Poetic license can be very transparent.
