“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.’”
دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَعَلِيٌّ نَاقِهٌ مِنْ مَرَضٍ وَلَنَا دَوَالِي مُعَلَّقَةٌ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا فَتَنَاوَلَ عَلِيٌّ لِيَأْكُلَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَهْ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّكَ نَاقِهٌ قَالَتْ فَصَنَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ سِلْقًا وَشَعِيرًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا عَلِيُّ مِنْ هَذَا فَأَصِبْ فَإِنَّهُ أَنْفَعُ لَكَ
