Chapter 37 Cucumbers and fresh dates eaten together
باب الْقِثَّاءِ وَالرُّطَبِ يُجْمَعَانِ
Sunan Ibn Majah 3324
It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said: “My mother was trying to fatten me
up
when she wanted to send me to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (when
she
got married), but nothing worked until I ate cucumbers with dates;
then I grew plump like the best kind of plump.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَتْ أُمِّي تُعَالِجُنِي لِلسُّمْنَةِ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُدْخِلَنِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَمَا اسْتَقَامَ لَهَا ذَلِكَ حَتَّى أَكَلْتُ الْقِثَّاءَ بِالرُّطَبِ فَسَمِنْتُ كَأَحْسَنِ سُمْنَةٍ .
