My mother intended to make me gain weight to send me to the (house of) the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. But nothing which she desired benefited me till she gave me cucumber with fresh dates to eat. Then I gained as much weight (as she desired). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3903)
تُسَمِّنَنِي لِدُخُولِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ فَلَمْ أُقْبِلْ عَلَيْهَا بِشَيْءٍ مِمَّا تُرِيدُ حَتَّى أَطْعَمَتْنِي الْقِثَّاءَ بِالرُّطَبِ فَسَمِنْتُ عَلَيْهِ كَأَحْسَنِ السِّمَنِ

أَنْ تُسَمِّنِّي لِدُخُولِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ أَقْبَلْ عَلَيْهَا بِشَىْءٍ مِمَّا تُرِيدُ حَتَّى أَطْعَمَتْنِي الْقِثَّاءَ بِالرُّطَبِ فَسَمِنْتُ عَلَيْهِ كَأَحْسَنِ السِّمَنِ

أَنْ تُسَمِّنَنِيَ لِدُخُولِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ أُقْبِلْ عَلَيْهَا بِشَيْءٍ مِمَّا تُرِيدُ حَتَّى أَطْعَمَتْنِي الْقِثَّاءَ وَالرُّطَبَ فَسَمِنْتُ عَلَيْهِ كَأَحْسَنِ السِّمَنِ»
"أرَادَت أن تُسَمِّني لِدُخولي عَلَى رَسُول اللهِ ﷺ فَلَم أقبل عَلَيها بِشَيْءٍ مِمَّا تُرِيد حَتَّى أطْعَمَتْني القِثَّاء والرُّطَب، فَسَمنْتُ عَلَيه كَأحْسَن السِّمَنِ".
