Abu Usaid As-Saʿidi came and invited Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the occasion of his wedding. His wife who was the bride, was serving them. Do you know what drink she prepared for Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? She had soaked some dates in water in a Tur overnight.

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْإِسْكَنْدَرَانِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ سَهْلًا يَقُولُ أَتَى أَبُو أُسَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ فَدَعَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي عُرْسِهِ وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ خَادِمَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَهِيَ الْعَرُوسُ قَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا سَقِيَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ؟ «أَنْقَعَتْ لَهُ تَمَرَاتٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فِي كُوزٍ»
