اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ نُصَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يَأْكُلُ الْبِطِّيخَ بِالرُّطَبِ ، فَيَقُولُ : نَكْسِرُ حَرَّ هَذَا بِبَرْدِ هَذَا وَبَرْدَ هَذَا بِحَرِّ هَذَا " .
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to eat melon with fresh dates, and he used to say: The heat of the one is broken by the coolness of the other, and the coolness of the one by the heat of the other.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Benefit: This hadith supports the theory of the natures and properties of things, which is well-known in ancient medicine. In reality, with regard to the properties of things, the coldness and heat referred to are not the coldness and heat that can be measured by a thermometer. Rather, the state that a person feels in the body upon using these things is likened to coldness or heat, and expressing it in this way has been common among physicians and ordinary people since ancient times. Even English doctors call food in which chilies and spices have been excessively added "very hot," even if that food is actually cold in terms of temperature.
