441. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abdul Rahman Bin Hammaad, from Muhammad Bin Is’haq, from Muhammad Bin Al-Fayz who said, who has narrated the following: I said to Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام, ‘When one of us becomes ill, the healers order us to go on a diet’. So he عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘But, the People عليه الصلاة والسلام of the Household, we عليه الصلاة والسلام do not stay away except from the dates, and we عليه الصلاة والسلام cure by the apple and the cold water’. I said, ‘And why do you عليه الصلاة والسلام keep away from the dates?’ He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘Because the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم of Allah عز وجل kept Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام away from it during his عليه الصلاة والسلام illness’.
