1؎: From this narration, it is understood that if someone swears not to eat curry (saln), and then eats dates with bread, he will be considered as having broken his oath (hanith).
Narrated Yusuf ibn Abdullah ibn Salam: I saw that the Prophet ﷺ took a piece of break of barley and put a date on it and said: This is the condiment of this.
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues: Benefit: This narration is weak in its chain of transmission. However, in those regions where dates are abundant, people eat bread with them without any affectation. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was far removed from affectation.
