Dates
|
- Allah's Messenger(sallallahu alaiyhi
wassallam) said: "A family which has dates will not
be hungry."
- The Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi
wassallam) said: For him who say: Holy is Allah and
to Him belongs all praise, a date tree is planted in
Paradise.
- The ajwah dates come from
Paradise, and they are a remedy for poison.
- The Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi
wassallam) said: "When one of you is fasting, he
should break his fast with dates; but if he cannot get
any, then (he should break his fast) with water, for
water is purifying."
- The Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi
wassallam) said, "If somebody takes some 'Ajwa
dates every morning, he will not be effected by poison
or magic on that day till night." (Another narrator
said seven dates).

I heard Anas bin Malik
saying, "A tailor invited Allah's Apostle(sallallahu
alaiyhi wassallam) to a meal which he had prepared.
" Anas bin Malik said, "I accompanied Allah's
Apostle(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) to that meal. He
served the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) with
bread and soup made with gourd and dried meat. I saw the
Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) taking the pieces
of gourd from the dish." Anas added, "Since that day I
have continued to like gourd." |

And your Lord inspired
the bee, saying: "Take you habitations in the mountains
and in the trees and in what they erect. "Then, eat of
all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy
(for you)." There comes forth from their bellies, a drink
of varying colour wherein is healing for men. Verily, in
this is indeed a sign for people who think. |
