When Abu Usaid As-Saʿidi got married, he invited the Prophet ﷺ and his companions. None prepared the food for them and brought it to them but his wife. She soaked some dates in water in a stone pot overnight, and when the Prophet ﷺ had finished his food, she provided him with that drink (of soaked dates).  

البخاري:٥١٨٢حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلٍ قَالَ

لَمَّا عَرَّسَ أَبُو أُسَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ دَعَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابَهُ فَمَا صَنَعَ لَهُمْ طَعَامًا وَلاَ قَرَّبَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ إِلاَّ امْرَأَتُهُ أُمُّ أُسَيْدٍ بَلَّتْ تَمَرَاتٍ فِي تَوْرٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ أَمَاثَتْهُ لَهُ فَسَقَتْهُ تُتْحِفُهُ بِذَلِكَ
