Strengthening the Ummah

“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.’”
