[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me, and with him was Ali, and Ali had a sick camel, and we had some hanging dates. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and started eating from them, and Ali also stood up and started eating from them. Then, the Prophet ﷺ suddenly exclaimed to Ali, saying, "O Ali, you are a camel until you are satisfied." She said, "And I made barley and boiled it, so I brought it." The Prophet ﷺ said to Ali, "Leave this and eat from it, as it is more beneficial for you."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit me, accompanied by Ali who was convalescing. We had some ripe dates hung up. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up and began to eat from them. Ali also got up to eat, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said repeatedly to Ali: Stop, Ali, for you are convalescing, and Ali stopped. She said: I then prepared some barley and beer-root and brought it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: Take some of this, Ali, for it will be more beneficial for you. AbuDawud said: The narrator Harun said: al-Adawiyyah (i.e. Umm al-Mundhar).

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me, while ʿAli was with him, and we had a cluster of unripe dates hanging." She said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ began eating, and ʿAli ate with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to ʿAli: 'Stop, stop, for you are still recovering.' So ʿAli sat and the Prophet ﷺ ate." She said: "I made some chard and barley for them, so the Prophet ﷺ said: 'O ʿAli eat from this, for indeed it will be more suitable for you." Another chain reports a similar narration.

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon us, and with him was ‘Ali bin Abu Talib, who had recently recovered from an illness. We had bunches of unripe dates hanging up, and the Prophet ﷺ was eating from them. ‘Ali reached out to eat some, and the Prophet ﷺ said to ‘Ali: ‘Stop, O ‘Ali! You have just recovered from an illness.’ I made some greens and barley for the Prophet ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ said to ‘Ali: ‘O ‘Ali, eat some of this, for it is better for you.’”

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ entered upon me with Ali ibn Abi Talib, and Ali had a camel suffering from illness. I said, "We have some dates hanging, so the Prophet ﷺ and Ali got up to eat from them." The Prophet ﷺ coughed and said, "Wait, for you are a camel until Ali finishes." I said, "I have already prepared barley and boiled it." When we brought it, the Prophet ﷺ said to Ali, "Try this, as it might suit you better." So they both ate from it.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me along with Ali, and he was riding a she-camel. I said to him, "We have some dates hanging up." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up and ate, and then Ali got up and ate. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Slow down, Ali, for you are a she-camel." So Ali sat down and then I prepared for them some roasted meat and barley. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Now, Ali, you will improve from this."

[Machine] Um Al-Mundhir Al-Ansariyah, who was one of the maternal aunts of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, reported that Ali entered while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was present, and Ali had a sick camel with him. In the house, there was a hanging morsel, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ate from it while standing, and Ali was with him. Then he said, "Do not eat from this, as it does not agree with you."
