حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، وَأَبُو عَامِرٍ ، وَهَذَا لَفْظُ أَبِي عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ فُلَيْحِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ ، عَنْ أُمِّ الْمُنْذِرِ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةِ ، قَالَتْ : " دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ رَضَي اللهُ عَنْهُ ، وَعَلِيٌّ نَاقِهٌ وَلَنَا دَوَالِي مُعَلَّقَةٌ ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا ، وَقَامَ عَلِيٌّ لِيَأْكُلَ ، فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لِعَلِيٍّ : مَهْ إِنَّكَ نَاقِهٌ ، حَتَّى كَفَّ عَلِيٌّ رَضَي اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَتْ : وَصَنَعْتُ شَعِيرًا وَسِلْقًا ، فَجِئْتُ بِهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَا عَلِيُّ أَصِبْ مِنْ هَذَا فَهُوَ أَنْفَعُ لَكَ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : قَالَ هَارُونُ الْعَدَوِيَّةَ .
Narrated Umm al-Mundhar bint Qays al-Ansariyyah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit me, accompanied by Ali who was convalescing. We had some ripe dates hung up. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up and began to eat from them. Ali also got up to eat, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said repeatedly to Ali: Stop, Ali, for you are convalescing, and Ali stopped. She said: I then prepared some barley and beer-root and brought it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: Take some of this, Ali, for it will be more beneficial for you. Abu Dawud said: The narrator Harun said: al-Adawiyyah (i. e. Umm al-Mundhar).
