3856. It was narrated that Umm Al-Mundhir bint Qais Al- Anṣāriyyah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ entered upon me, accompanied by 'Ali, while 'Ali was recovering from an illness. We had a bunch of ripe dates that were hung up, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood up and began to eat some of them. 'Ali got up to eat too, but the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to 'Ali: "Stop! You are recovering," and 'Ali stopped. I made some barley and greens and brought it, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'O 'Ali, eat some of this, for it is better for you.'" (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: Hārūn said: "Abū Dāwūd said: 'Al-'Adawiyah.'"[1]

3856 - حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، وَأَبُو عَامِرٍ، - وَهَذَا لَفْظُ أَبِي عَامِرٍ - عَنْ فُلَيْحِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، عَنْ أُمِّ الْمُنْذِرِ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةِ، قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام، وَعَلِيٌّ نَاقِهٌ وَلَنَا دَوَالِي مُعَلَّقَةٌ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا وَقَامَ عَلِيٌّ لِيَأْكُلَ، فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لِعَلِيٍّ: «مَهْ إِنَّكَ نَاقِهٌ» حَتَّى كَفَّ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام، قَالَتْ: وَصَنَعْتُ شَعِيرًا وَسِلْقًا، فَجِئْتُ بِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «يَا عَلِيُّ أَصِبْ مِنْ هَذَا فَهُوَ أَنْفَعُ لَكَ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «قَالَ هَارُونُ الْعَدَوِيَّةَ»
