(عَجْوَةُ مَكَّةَ شِفَاءٌ)
(Ajwa dates of Mecca are a source of healing)
Hadith 4191
وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ فِي عَجْوَةِ الْعَالِيَةِ شِفَاءً وَإِنَّهَا تِرْيَاقٌ أَوَّلَ البكرة» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
‘A’isha reported God’s messenger as saying, "The 'ajwa dates of al-‘Aliya* contain healing, and they are an antidote first thing in the morning." *A name applied to some villages a few miles east of Medina. Muslim transmitted it.
