Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Yazid bin Kaisan, he says: I asked Abu al-Sha’tha Hazrat Jabir bin Zaid about Fadheekh. So he asked: What is Fadheekh? I explained, ripe and half-ripe dates. Upon this he said: By God! If you take plain water and boil it, then put it in your stomach, it is better than gathering ripe and half-ripe dates together in your stomach.
