“My mother was trying to fatten me up when she wanted to send me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ (when she got married), but nothing worked until I ate cucumbers with dates; then I grew plump like the best kind of plump.”  

أَنْ تُدْخِلَنِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَمَا اسْتَقَامَ لَهَا ذَلِكَ حَتَّى أَكَلْتُ الْقِثَّاءَ بِالرُّطَبِ فَسَمِنْتُ كَأَحْسَنِ سُمْنَةٍ  

“I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ eating cucumbers with dates.”  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْكُلُ الْقِثَّاءَ بِالرُّطَبِ  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to eat dates with melon.”  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْكُلُ الرُّطَبَ بِالْبِطِّيخِ
