It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by us after relieving himself in a valley. We offered the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) some Ajwa dates which were placed before us on a shield. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate them and did not perform ablution before eating.
