Musnad Abi Ya'la 4558 — My mother (before I was sent to the Prophet's)

Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "My mother (before I was sent to the Prophet's house) used to treat me (with various remedies) for my health and to gain weight, so that she could send me to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). But none of her efforts succeeded until I ate fresh dates together with cucumber; then (by eating them) I became healthy and plump in the finest way."
