adab:266

Bakr ibn 'Abdullah reported that the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ used to throw melons at one another. He said, "If these were real, they would be men."

الأدب المفرد:٢٦٦حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ عَنْ حَبِيبٍ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

كَانَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَتَبَادَحُونَ بِالْبِطِّيخِ فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْحَقَائِقُ كَانُوا هُمُ الرِّجَالَ
