Protection through seven Ajwa dates from Medina

ahmad:1528 – ʿAbd al-Malik b. ʿAmr > Fulayḥ > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Maʿmar > ʿĀmir b. Saʿd > ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz > Saʿd

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever eats seven Ajwa dates from between the two lava tracts of Medina in the morning, nothing will harm him that day until evening." Fulayh said, "I think he also said: "And if he eats them in the evening, nothing will harm him until morning."" Then Umar said, "Aamir, consider what you are narrating from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." Aamir said, "By Allah, I did not lie about Saad, and Saad did not lie about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."

أحمد:١٥٢٨ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَعْمَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَ عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَهُوَ أَمِيرٌ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ أَنَّ سَعْدًا قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «مَنِ أَكَلَ سَبْعَ تَمَرَاتِ عَجْوَةٍ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيِ الْمَدِينَةِ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ، لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ يَوْمَهُ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ». قَالَ فُلَيْحٌ: وَأَظُنُّهُ قَدْ قَالَ: «وَإِنِ أَكَلَهَا حِينَ يُمْسِي، لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ شَيْءٌ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ». قَالَ: فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: «يَا عَامِرُ، انْظُرْ مَا تُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ». فَقَالَ عَامِرٌ: «وَاللهِ، مَا كَذَبْتُ عَلَى سَعْدٍ، وَمَا كَذَبَ سَعْدٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ».

Protection through seven Ajwa dates

ahmad:1442 – Abū ʿĀmir > Fulayḥ > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Maʿmar > ʿĀmir b. Saʿd > ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz > Saʿd

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever eats seven Ajwa dates from between the two lava tracts of Medina on an empty stomach, nothing will harm him that day until evening." Fulayh said, "And I think he said: "And if he eats them in the evening, nothing will harm him until morning."" Umar said, "Be careful, O Aamir, about what you narrate from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said, "I bear witness that I did not lie about Saad, and Saad did not lie about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."

أحمد:١٤٤٢ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَ عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، وَهُوَ أَمِيرٌ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، أَنَّ سَعْدًا قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ أَكَلَ سَبْعَ تَمَرَاتِ عَجْوَةٍ مِنْ بَيْنَ لَابَتَيِ الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى الرِّيقِ، لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ يَوْمَهُ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ». قَالَ فُلَيْحٌ: وَأَظُنُّهُ قَالَ: «وَإِنْ أَكَلَهَا حِينَ يُمْسِي لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ شَيْءٌ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ». فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: انْظُرْ يَا عَامِرُ مَا تُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ. فَقَالَ: أَشْهَدُ مَا كَذَبْتُ عَلَى سَعْدٍ، وَمَا كَذَبَ سَعْدٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ.
