Shama'il al-Muhammadiya 172

Umme Munzir radiyallahu anha says, Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited me. Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was with him. We had some bunches of dates hanging. Messenger of Allah ﷺ began eating from them. Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) also began eating with him. Messenger of Allah ﷺ stopped him saying, "You have just recovered from your illness and should not eat this." He (Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)) stopped and Messenger of Allah ﷺ continued eating. Umme Munzir radiyallahu anha says, I then cooked some barley and beetroot. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), "Eat this, it is suitable for you."

حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، عَنْ أُمِّ الْمُنْذِرِ، قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَمَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ، وَلَنَا دَوَالٍ مُعَلَّقَةٌ، قَالَتْ: فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْكُلُ وَعَلِيٌّ مَعَهُ يَأْكُلُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، لِعَلِيٍّ: مَهْ يَا عَلِيُّ، فَإِنَّكَ نَاقَةٌ، قَالَتْ: فَجَلَسَ عَلِيٌّ، وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَأْكُلُ، قَالَتْ: فَجَعَلْتُ لَهُمْ سِلْقًا وَشَعِيرًا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِعَلِيٍّ: مِنْ هَذَا فَأَصِبْ فَإِنَّ هَذَا أَوْفَقُ لَكَ.
