حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ يَعْنِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ وَهُوَ يَتَمَجَّعُ لَبَنًا بِتَمْرٍ فَقَالَ ادْنُ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمَّاهُمَا الْأَطْيَبَيْنِ
Ismail narrates from his father: He says: I entered upon a man who was eating dates mixed with milk. He said to me: Come closer and eat, for the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has declared both of these things to be superior and excellent.
