Hadith 1 in cup of the prophet
Thaabit radiyallahu anhu relates that Anas radiyallahu anhu showed us a large wooden cup, which was lined with metal, and said, “O’ Thaabit, this is the cup of Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam.”
Commentary
It is said that this cup was sold from the estate of Sayyidina Nadr ibn Anas radiyallahu anhu for eight lakh Dirhams and Imaam Bukhari drank water from it in Basrah. Some say that, that was another cup
Hadith 2
Anas radiyallahu anhu says, “I gave Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam to drink from this cup all those things which are drunk;Nabeedh, milk, etc.”
Commentary
Nabeedh is a drink made by soaking dates, raisins, etc. in water until these things (become soft and) give off its effect. It is a tonic and gives strength. Dates, etc. were soaked for Sayyidina Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam at night and he drank it in the morning. It was also sometimes used the next day, provided it did not ferment and become intoxicating.
THE FRUITS EATEN BY PROPHET
Hadith 1 In fruits (cucumbers with dates)
Abdullah ibn Jaafar radiyallahu anhu says, “Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam ate Qith’thaa (cucumbers) with dates.”
Commentary
Cucumber has a cold effect and dates have a hot one. By combining the two it becomes mild.
From this hadith we gather that it is recommended that the effect (hot or cold) of things eaten should be taken into consideration. Cucumber is insipid and tasteless, and dates are sweet which results in the cucumber also tasting sweet.
Hadith 2 In fruits(watermelon with fresh dates.)
Aisha radiyallah anha reports that, “Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam ate watermelon with fresh dates.”
Commentary
In Tirmidhi and other narrations, in explaining this, Sayyidina Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam also said, “The cold effect of one removes the heat of the other, and the heat of one removes the cold effect of the other.”
Hadith 3 In fruits(muskmelon)
Anas radiyallahu anhu says, “I saw Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam eat together muskmelon and dates.”
Commentary
Some ulama have translated this also as watermelon’ instead of musk-melon, the reason being, as in the first narration, here also the cold effect is intended. But it is clear that musk-melon is meant here. The reason for eating dates is also that it gives the melon a sweeter taste.
It is not necessary that one’s benefit be gauged everywhere. It is possible that this is due to some other benefits. According to this humble servant the eating of watermelon with dates has its own benefit and that is to create evenness in the effect of both, so that it becomes mild.
The eating of musk-melon with dates has its own benefit and that is that if the melon is insipid and tasteless, many a time, due to it being insipid sugar is mixed before it is eaten.
Therefore it is not necessary to give the same reasons for both watermelon and musk-melon.
Hadith 4 In fruits
Abu Hurairah radiyallahu anhu reports, “When the people saw (picked their) new fruit, they used to come and present it to Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam. Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam then recited this du’aa :
Allahumma baarik lana fi thimaa-rina wa-baarik lanaa fi madinatinaa wa-baarik
lanaa fi saa-‘i-naa wa-fi muddinaa-Allahumma-inna Ebraahima ‘ab-duka wa-kha-li-luka wanabiy-yuka wa-inna ab-duka wa-nabiy-yuka wa-in-nahu da’aa-ka li-makkata wa-inni ad’u-ka lilmadinati bi-mith-li maa da’aaka bihi li-makkata wa-mith-lahu ma’a-hu
Translation:
O Allah! Bless us in our fruits. Bless us in our city. Bless us in our Saa’, and bless
us in our Mudd’ (these are two measures used in Madinah to measure dates, etc.). O Allah verily Ibrahim alaihis salaam is Your servant, friend and Nabi (since it was an occasion for humbleness Sayyidina Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam did not mention here his being the habib – beloved – of Alah.) And (whatever) he has supplicated to You for (colonising) Makkah.
(Which is mentioned in the aayah, “…so incline some hearts of men that they may yearn towards them, and provide Thou them with fruits in order that they may be thankful.”- Surah Ibrahim, 37)
I supplicate the same to You for Madinah.’ He then called a small child, to whom he gave that fruit.”
Hadith 5 In fruits
Rubayyi bint Mu’awwidh ibn Afraa radiyallahu anha says, “My uncle Mu’aadh ibn Afraa sent
me with a plate of fresh dates, which had small cucumbers on it, to Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam.
Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam relished cucumbers. I took this to him. At that time some jewelry had been sent to Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam from Bahrain. He took a handful from it and gave it to me.”
Commentary
Besides the previously mentioned benefits of cucumbers and dates, it makes the body plump too.
Sayyiditina Aisha radiyallahu anha relates that, “After my marriage, when the time came for me to go and live with Rasoolulla sallallahu alaihe wasallam, my mother thought I be a bit plump and my build become better. She gave me cucumbers and dates to eat. As a result my body became nice and plump.”
