3442. It was narrated that Umm Mundhir bint Qais Ansâriyyah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ entered upon us, and with him was 'Ali bin Abu Tâlib, who had recently recovered from an illness. We had bunches of unripe dates hanging up, and the Prophet ﷺ was eating from them. 'Ali reached out to eat some, and the Prophet ﷺ said to 'Ali: 'Stop, O 'Ali! You have just recovered from an illness.' I made some greens and barley for the Prophet ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ said to 'Ali: 'O 'Ali, eat some of this, for it is better for you.'" (Hasan)
