مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا
شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ
يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُمَيْرٍ الشَّامِيِّ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ، قَالَ : نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أَبِي ، فَقَرَّبْنَا إِلَيْهِ طَعَامًا فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ ، ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِتَمْرٍ فَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ وَيُلْقِي النَّوَى بِإِصْبَعَيْهِ جَمَعَ السَّبَّابَةَ وَالْوُسْطَى ، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : وَهُوَ ظَنِّي فِيهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، وَأَلْقَى النَّوَى بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْنِ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِشَرَابٍ فَشَرِبَهُ ، ثُمَّ نَاوَلَهُ الَّذِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ أَبِي وَأَخَذَ بِلِجَامِ دَابَّتِهِ : ادْعُ لَنَا ، فَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِيمَا رَزَقْتَهُمْ , وَاغْفِرْ لَهُمْ , وَارْحَمْهُمْ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ .
´`Abdullah bin Busr narrated:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stayed with my father.” So he said: “We brought some food near him, so he ate from it, then he was brought dates, so he would eat it and cast the pit with his two fingers” - he joined between his forefinger and middle finger - Shu`bah said: “And that is what I think concerning it, if Allah wills.” - “and he cast the pit between two fingers, then he was brought drink, so he drank it and then passed it to the one on his right.” He said: “So my father said - as he took hold of the rein of his beast: ‘Supplicate for us.’ So he said: ‘O Allah, bless for them what You have provided them, and forgive them, and have mercy on them (Allāhumma bārik lahum fī mā razaqtahum waghfir lahum warḥamhum).’”

Benefits and Issues:
➊
It is clear from this hadith that the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not put the eaten date pits back into the same vessel.
Rather, he kept them separate because refined natures find such things very unpleasant.
In the same way, breathing into a water vessel is also disliked by others.
➋
After drinking a beverage, he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) gave it to the one on his right.
➌
Honoring a person of virtue, just as the host honored the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), is a commendable act.
➍
A host may request his guest to make supplication (du'a) for him.
➎
Making supplication (du'a) after eating is Sunnah.
And it is best to make the very supplication that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) made.
