الأنعام وَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأَخْرَجْنا بِهِ نَباتَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَأَخْرَجْنا مِنْهُ خَضِراً نُخْرِجُ مِنْهُ حَبًّا مُتَراكِباً وَ مِنَ النَّخْلِ مِنْ طَلْعِها قِنْوانٌ دانِيَةٌ وَ جَنَّاتٍ مِنْ أَعْنابٍ وَ الزَّيْتُونَ وَ الرُّمَّانَ مُشْتَبِهاً وَ غَيْرَ مُتَشابِهٍ انْظُرُوا إِلى ثَمَرِهِ إِذا أَثْمَرَ وَ يَنْعِهِ إِنَّ فِي ذلِكُمْ لَآياتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ

(Surah) Al Ra’ad: And in the earth there are neighbouring tracts and gardens of grapes cultivated, and single-rooted palm trees other than single-rooted, being irrigated by one water source, and We Prefer some of it upon the others regarding the eating.

تفسير
(Forbidden) Interpretation (opinionated)
أَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً قيل أي من السحاب أو من جانب السماء فَأَخْرَجْنا على تلوين الخطاب بِهِ أي بالماء نَباتَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أي نبت كل صنف من النبات و المعنى إظهار القدرة في إنبات الأنواع المفننة بماء واحد فَأَخْرَجْنا مِنْهُ أي من النبات أو الماء خَضِراً أي شيئا أخضر يقال أخضر و خضر كأعور و عور و هو الخارج من الحبة المتشعب نُخْرِجُ مِنْهُ أي من الخضر حَبًّا مُتَراكِباً و هو السنبل.
Sends down water from the sky. – It is said, ‘I.e., from the clouds, or from a side of the sky – So We Extract – based upon the colourful Address – by it – with the water – vegetation of all things, – i.e., vegetation of all types from the plants, and the meaning is Demonstration of the Power in germinating of a variety of seeds with one water – and We Extract from it – i.e., from the plant or the water – greenery, – i.e., a green thing is called greenery, and it is outside from the seed branched out – Extracting from it – i.e., from the greenery – grains overlaid, [6:99] – and it is the ear.
وَ مِنَ النَّخْلِ مِنْ طَلْعِها قِنْوانٌ أي و أخرجنا من النخل نخلا من طلعها قنوان أو من النخل شيئا من طلعها قنوان و يجوز أن يكون مِنَ النَّخْلِ خبر قِنْوانٌ و مِنْ طَلْعِها بدل منه
and from the palm tree from its clusters [6:99] – i.e., and We Extract from the palm trees, a palm tree from its clusters, or from the palm trees something from its clusters, and it is allowed that it would be, ‘from the palm trees’. He-azwj Informed ‘Clusters’, and ‘From its branches’ in replacement from it.
و المعنى و حاصله من طلع النخل قنوان و هو الأعذاق جمع قنو كصنوان جمع صنو دانِيَةٌ قريبة من المتناول لقصر شجره أو ملتفة قريب بعضها من بعض و إنما اقتصر على ذكرها عن مقابلها لدلالتها عليه و زيادة النعمة فيها.
And the meaning, and its result is, ‘clusters from branches of the palm trees’, and it is ‘Al Azaaq’, plural of ‘Qanwa’, like ‘Sanwan’ is plural of ‘Sanou’ – low, – near from the taker due to the short tree, or wrapped, a part of it near from a part, and rather He-azwj Confined upon its mention about its contract to its evidence upon it, and the increased benefits in it.
وَ جَنَّاتٍ مِنْ أَعْنابٍ عطف على نَباتَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. وَ الزَّيْتُونَ وَ الرُّمَّانَ أيضا عطف على نَباتَ أو نصب على الاختصاص لعزة هذين الصنفين عندهم
and gardens of grapes, – is an inclination to – vegetation of all things, [6:99]. and the olives, and the pomegranates, – as well incline towards vegetation, or attributed to the specifics for the honour of these two attributes in their view.
مُشْتَبِهاً وَ غَيْرَ مُتَشابِهٍ حال من الرمان أو من الجميع أي بعض ذلك متشابه و بعضه غير متشابه في الهيئة و القدر و اللون و الطعم انْظُرُوا إِلى ثَمَرِهِ أي إلى ثمر كل واحد من ذلك إِذا أَثْمَرَ إذا أخرج ثمره كيف يثمر ضئيلا لا يكاد ينتفع به وَ يَنْعِهِ و إلى حال نضجه كيف يعود ضخيما ذا نفع و لذة و هو في الأصل مصدر ينعت الثمرة إذا أدركت.
alike and without likeness. – a sat of the pomegranate, or of the entirety, i.e., some of that is alike and some of it is unlike in the appearance, and the worth, and the colour, and the taste – Look at its fruits – at the fruit of each one of that – when it yields [6:99] -when it’s fruit emerges, how it yields so little, one almost does not benefit with it, and the state of its maturity, how it returns to be huge then is beneficial, and pleasurable, and it originally describes the fruit, then it matures.
إِنَّ فِي ذلِكُمْ لَآياتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ أي لآيات على وجود القادر الحكيم و توحيده فإن حدوث الأجناس المختلفة و الأنواع المفننة من أصل واحد و نقلها من حال إلى حال لا يكون إلا بإحداث قادر يعلم تفاصيلها و يرجح ما تقتضيه حكمته مما يمكن من أحوالها و لا يعوقه عن فعله ند يعارضه أو ضد يعانده.
Surely in that are Signs for a people who are believing [6:99] – i.e., the Verses are based upon existence of the Powerful, the Wise and His-azwj Oneness, for the occurrences of the difference species and the types of seeds are from one origin, and its transferring from a state to a state cannot take place except by the Innovation of a Powerful One Who knows their details, and Prefers what is required by His-azwj Wisdom from what is possible from its situations, and is no hindered from His-azwj Actions by a peer objecting to it, or an adversary being inimical to Him‑azwj.
وَ فِي الْأَرْضِ قِطَعٌ مُتَجاوِراتٌ بعضها طيبة و بعضها سبخة و بعضها رخوة و بعضها صلبة و بعضها يصلح للزرع دون الشجر و بعضها بالعكس
And in the earth, there are neighbouring tracts [13:4] – some of these are good, some of these are swampy, and some of these are soft, and some of these are solid, and some of these are correct for the cultivation besides the trees, and some of these are the opposite.
و لو لا تخصيص قادر موقع لأفعاله على وجه دون وجه لم تكن كذلك لاشتراك تلك القطع في الطبيعة الأرضية و ما يلزمها و يعرض لها بتوسط ما يعرض من الأسباب السماوية من حيث إنها متضامة متشاركة في النسب و الأوضاع
And had the Powerful One not Specified the place of His-azwj Actions based upon an aspect besides an aspect, it would not have been like that, for the participation of those pieces in the earthly natures, and what is necessary for it, and there is presented to it as intermediary of what is presented from the heavenly causes from whereby it is complementary in the proportions and the placings.
وَ جَنَّاتٌ مِنْ أَعْنابٍ وَ زَرْعٌ وَ نَخِيلٌ أي و بساتين فيها أنواع الأشجار و الزروع و توحيد الزرع لأنه مصدر في أصله و قرأ حفص و غيره وَ زَرْعٌ وَ نَخِيلٌ بالرفع عطفا على وَ جَنَّاتٌ صِنْوانٌ نخلات أصلها واحد وَ غَيْرُ صِنْوانٍ أي و متفرقات مختلفة الأصول
and gardens of grapes cultivated, – i.e., and orchards where are a variety of three and cultivations, and the singular is ‘Al Zara’, because it is a source in its origin. And Hafs and others recited it as ‘And the cultivation and the palm trees’ with the raising, inclining upon, ‘and single-rooted gardens’ of palm trees. Its origin is one, and other than single-rooted – i.e., separate, of different roots.
و قرأ حفص بالضم و هو لغة تميم كقنوان في جمع قنو فِي الْأُكُلِ في الثمر شكلا و قدرا و رائحة و طعما و ذلك أيضا مما يدل على وجود الصانع الحكيم فإن اختلافها مع اتحاد الأصول و الأسباب لا يكون إلا بتخصيص قادر مختار لِقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ يستعملون عقولهم بالتفكر.
And Hafs recited with the ‘Zamma’, and it is a complete language like ‘Kinwan’ (clusters) in the plural as ‘Qanu’ – regarding the eating – regarding the fruits alike, and worthy, and aroma, and taste. And that also is from what evidence’s upon the existence of the Wise Maker, for their differences with the unity of the roots and the causes cannot happen except by specification of a Powerful Chooser – for a people using their intellects [13:4] – submitting their intellects with the thinking.
فِيها فاكِهَةٌ أي ضروب مما يتفكه به ذاتُ الْأَكْمامِ أوعية التمر وَ الْحَبُ كالحنطة و الشعير و سائر ما يتغذى به ذُو الْعَصْفِ ذو الورق اليابس كالتبن وَ الرَّيْحانُ يعني المشموم أو الرزق من قولهم خرجت أطلب ريحان الله.
Therein are fruits, – i.e., a variety from what one can suffice with – with the sheathed clusters [55:11] – receptacles of dates – And the grain – like the wheat, and the barley and rest of what one provides with – with the husk – with the dry leaves like the hay – and the fragrance [55:12] – meaning the smells, or the sustenance, from their words, ‘I went out seeking the aromas of Allah-azwj’.
وَ التِّينِ وَ الزَّيْتُونِ قيل خصهما من الثمار بالقسم لأن التين فاكهة طيبة لا فضلة له و غذاء لطيف سريع الهضم و دواء كثير النفع فإنه يلين الطبع و يحلل البلغم و يطهر الكليتين و يزيل رمل المثانة و يفتح سدَّة الكبد و الطحال و يسمن البدن
(I Swear) by the fig and the olive [95:1] – It is said, ‘He-azwj Specified these two from the fruits because the fig is a good fruit, not having remnants for it, and a light feed, quick of the digestion, and a cure of many benefits, for it softens the natures, and releases the phlegm, and cleans the kidneys, and removes the bladder sand, and opens the blockage of the liver and the spleen and fattens the body.
و الزيتون فاكهة و إدام و دواء و له دهن لطيف كثير المنافع و قد مر تأويلهما برسول الله و أمير المؤمنين أو بالحسنين صلوات الله عليهم.
And the olive is a fruit and a sauce (dip), and a cure, and there is gentle oil for it of many benefits, and their interpretation by Rasool-Allah-saww and Amir Al-Momineen-asws has already passed, or with Al-Hassaneyn-asws (Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws), may the Salawaat of Allah‑azwj be upon them-asws’’.
1- الْخِصَالُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: لَمَّا أَهْبَطَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ آدَمَ ع مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ أَهْبَطَ مَعَهُ عِشْرِينَ وَ مِائَةَ قَضِيبٍ مِنْهَا أَرْبَعُونَ مَا يُؤْكَلُ دَاخِلُهَا وَ خَارِجُهَا وَ أَرْبَعُونَ مِنْهَا مَا يُؤْكَلُ دَاخِلُهَا وَ يُرْمَى بِخَارِجِهَا وَ أَرْبَعُونَ مِنْهَا مَا يُؤْكَلُ خَارِجُهَا وَ يُرْمَى بِدَاخِلِهَا وَ غِرَارَةٌ فِيهَا بَزْرُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Sent down Adam-as from the Paradise, Sent down one hundred and twenty twigs with him-as. From these were forty what its interior and exterior can be eaten, and forty of these were what its interior can be eaten and its outside to be thrown away, and forty of these were what its exterior can be eaten, and its interior be thrown away, and a bag wherein were seeds of all things’’.[1]
2- الْعِلَلُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ الْبَجَلِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْقِرَانِ بَيْنَ التِّينِ وَ التَّمْرِ وَ سَائِرِ الْفَوَاكِهِ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَنِ الْقِرَانِ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ وَحْدَكَ فَكُلْ كَيْفَ أَحْبَبْتَ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ مُسْلِمِينَ فَلَا تَقْرُنْ.
(The book) ‘Al Ilal’ – From his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah Al Barqy, from Musa Bin Al Qasim Al Bajaly,
‘From Ali son of Ja’far-asws, from his brother-asws Musa-asws, he said, ‘I asked him-asws about the pairing (two different fruits in one mouthful) between the fig, and the dates and rest of the fruits. He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww has prohibited from the pairing. If you were alone, then eat however you like, and if you were with a group of Muslims, then do not pair’’.[2]
3- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى أَوْ غَيْرِهِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ: إِذَا آكَلْتَ أَحَداً فَأَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَقْرُنَ فَأَعْلِمْهُ بِذَلِكَ.
And from him, from one of his companions, from Muhammad Bin Al Musanna or someone else, raising it, said,
‘When you eat one (fruit), then you want to pair, then let him (guest) know of that’’.[3]
4- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ نُوحِ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ نَادِرٍ الْخَادِمِ قَالَ: أَكَلَ الْغِلْمَانُ فَاكِهَةً وَ لَمْ يَسْتَقْصُوا أَكْلَهَا وَ رَمَوْا بِهَا فَقَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُمُ اسْتَغْنَيْتُمْ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ لَمْ يَسْتَغْنُوا أَطْعِمُوهُ مَنْ يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ.
And from him, from Nuh Bin Shueyb, from Nadir the servant who said,
‘The servants ate fruits and were not thorough in eating it and they threw them. Abu Al‑Hassan-asws said: ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj! If you are needless, then the people are not needless. Feed it to the one who is needy to it!’’[4]
5- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنِ النَّهِيكِيِّ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ يُونُسَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ع يَقُولُ لَا تَضُرُّ الْعِنَبُ الرَّازِقِيُّ وَ قَصَبُ السُّكَّرِ وَ التُّفَّاحُ.
And from him, from Al Naheyki, from Mansour Bin Yunus who said,
‘I heard Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws saying: ‘And (eating) ‘Al-Raziqy’ grapes, and sugar cane, and the apple do not harm’’.[5]
6- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَدَّاحِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَكْرَهُ تَقْشِيرَ الثَّمَرَةِ.
And from him, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Al Qaddah,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws father-asws having disliked the skin of the fruit’’.[6]
7 وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ فُرَاتِ بْنِ أَحْنَفَ قَالَ: إِنَّ لِكُلِّ ثَمَرَةٍ سَمّاً مَا فَإِذَا أُتِيتُمْ بِهَا فَأَمِسُّوهَا بِالْمَاءِ أَوِ اغْمِسُوهَا فِي الْمَاءِ يَعْنِي اغْسِلُوهَا.
And from him, from Husayn Bin Al Munzir, from the one who mentioned it, from Furat Bin Ahnaf who said,
‘For every fruit there is a kind of poison, so whenever you are brought it, then wipe it with the water or immerse it in the water, meaning wash it’’.[7]
8- الْمَحَاسِنُ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: شَيْئَانِ يُؤْكَلَانِ بِالْيَدَيْنِ الْعِنَبُ وَ الرُّمَّانُ.
(The book) ‘Al-Mahasin’ – From Usman Bin Isa, from Abu Ayoub,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Two things are eating with the hands – the grapes and the pomegranates’’.[8]
9- وَ مِنْهُ، قَالَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: دَخَلَ أَبُو عُكَّاشَةَ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فَكَانَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَائِماً عِنْدَهُ فَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ عِنَباً فَقَالَ حَبَّةً حَبَّةً يَأْكُلُ الشَّيْخُ الْكَبِيرُ أَوِ الصَّبِيُّ الصَّغِيرُ وَ ثَلَاثَةً وَ أَرْبَعَةً مَنْ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ لَا يَشْبَعُ فَكُلْهُ حَبَّتَيْنِ حَبَّتَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُ يُسْتَحَبُّ
And from him, said, ‘It is reported from Isa Bin Abdul Rahman, from his father who said,
‘Abu Ukkasha Bin Mihsan Al-Asadi entered to see Abu Ja’far-asws, and Abu Abdullah-asws was standing in his-asws presence. He-asws forwarded grapes towards him. He-asws said: ‘Seed by seed is eaten by the old man or the young child, and three and four. One who thinks that he is not satiated, eat it as two seeds by two seeds, for it is recommended’.
وَ نَرْوِي أَنَّ الثِّمَارَ إِذَا أَدْرَكَتْ فَفِيهَا الشِّفَاءُ لِقَوْلِهِ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ كُلُوا مِنْ ثَمَرِهِ إِذا أَثْمَرَ.
And we are reporting that the fruits when they mature, there is healing in it due to Words of Majestic and Mighty: Eat from its fruits when its yields [6:141]’’.[9]
10- الْمَكَارِمُ، كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص رُبَّمَا أَكَلَ الْعِنَبَ حَبَّةً حَبَّةً وَ كَانَ ص رُبَّمَا أَكَلَهُ خَرْطاً حَتَّى تُرَى رُوَالُهُ عَلَى لِحْيَتِهِ كَتَحَدُّرِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ وَ الرُّوَالُ الْمَاءُ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْقِشْرِ وَ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ الْقِثَّاءَ بِالرُّطَبِ وَ الْقِثَّاءَ بِالْمِلْحِ
(The book) ‘Al-Makarim’ –
‘The Prophet-saww would sometimes eat the grapes, seed by seed, and sometimes he-saww would eat a bunch until you would see its water upon his-saww beard like the pearls rolling down, and its water is the water which emerges from under the skin, and he-saww would eat the cucumber with the dates, and the cucumber with the salt.
وَ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ الْفَاكِهَةَ الرَّطْبَةَ وَ كَانَ أَحَبُّهَا إِلَيْهِ الْبِطِّيخَ وَ الْعِنَبَ وَ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ الْبِطِّيخَ بِالْخُبْزِ وَ رُبَّمَا أَكَلَ بِالسُّكَّرِ وَ كَانَ رُبَّمَا أَكَلَ ص الْبِطِّيخَ بِالرُّطَبِ وَ يَسْتَعِينُ بِالْيَدَيْنِ جَمِيعاً
And he-saww would eat the wet fruit, and the most beloved to him-saww was the melon, and the grapes, and he-saww would eat the melon with the bread, and sometimes he-asws would eat with the sugar, and sometimes he-saww would eat the melon with the dates, and he-saww would seek assistance with both the two hands together.
وَ كَانَ ص يَأْكُلُ التَّمْرَ وَ يَشْرَبُ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ وَ كَانَ التَّمْرُ وَ الْمَاءُ أَكْثَرَ طَعَامِهِ وَ كَانَ يَتَمَجَّعُ اللَّبَنَ وَ التَّمْرَ وَ يُسَمِّيهِمَا الْأَطْيَبَيْنِ.
And he-saww would eat the dates and drink the water upon it, and the dates and the water was most of his-saww food, and he-saww would crave the milk and the dates and he-saww named them as ‘the two good ones’’.[10]
6- وَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا أُتِيَ بِفَاكِهَةٍ حَدِيثَةٍ قَبَّلَهَا وَ وَضَعَهَا عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ أَرَيْتَنَا أَوَّلَهَا فَأَرِنَا آخِرَهَا
And from Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘It was so that whenever Rasool-Allah-saww was brought a new (beginning of season) fruit, would kiss it, and place it upon his-saww eyes, and he-saww would say: ‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj have Shown us it’s beginning, so Show us its ending’.
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ اللَّهُمَّ كَمَا أَرَيْتَنَا أَوَّلَهَا فِي عَافِيَةٍ أَرِنَا آخِرَهَا فِي عَافِيَةٍ.
And in a reported by Ibn Babuwayh, ‘O Allah-azwj! Just as You-azwj have Shown us it’s beginning in good health, Show us its ending in good health’’.[11]
14 وَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَكَلَ الْفَاكِهَةَ وَ بَدَأَ بِبِسْمِ اللَّهِ لَمْ تَضُرَّهُ
And from Ibn Abbas who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who eats the fruit and begins with (saying), ‘In the Name of Allah‑azwj’, it would not harm him’.
وَ قَالَ ص لَمَّا أُخْرِجَ آدَمُ ع مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ زَوَّدَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنْ ثِمَارِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ عَلَّمَهُ صَنْعَةَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَثِمَارُكُمْ مِنْ ثِمَارِ الْجَنَّةِ غَيْرَ أَنَّ هَذِهِ تَغَيَّرُ وَ تِلْكَ لَا تَتَغَيَّرُ.
And he-saww said: ‘When Adam-as was expelled from the Paradise, Allah-azwj the Exalted Provided him-as from fruits of the Paradise, and Taught him-as making of all things. So your fruits are from fruits of the Paradise, apart from that these change (decay over time), and those (in Paradise) will not change (decay)’’.[12] (This is not a Hadeeth)
11 الدُّرُّ الْمَنْثُورُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: أُهْبِطَ آدَمُ ع بِثَلَاثِينَ صِنْفاً مِنْ فَاكِهَةِ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْهَا مَا يُؤْكَلُ دَاخِلُهُ وَ خَارِجُهُ وَ مِنْهَا مَا يُؤْكَلُ دَاخِلُهُ وَ يُطْرَحُ خَارِجُهُ وَ مِنْهَا مَا يُؤْكَلُ خَارِجُهُ وَ يُطْرَحُ دَاخِلُهُ.
(The book) ‘Al-Durr Al-Mansour’ –
‘From Ibn Abbas who said, ‘Adam-as came down with thirty types of fruits of the Paradise. From these is what its inside and its outside can be eaten, and from these is what its inside can be eaten, and its outside thrown away, and from these is what its outside can be eaten, and its inside is thrown away’’.[13] (This is not a Hadeeth and also from a non-Shia source)
14 12 الدَّعَائِمُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنِ الْقِرَانِ بَيْنَ التَّمْرَتَيْنِ فِي فَمٍ وَ عَنْ سَائِرِ الْفَاكِهَةِ كَذَلِكَ.
(The book) ‘Al-Da’aim’ –
‘From Rasool-Allah-saww: ‘He-saww prohibited from the pairing between the two dates in a mouth, and from rest of the fruits like that’’.[14]
5 قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ إِذَا كَانَ مَعَ النَّاسِ فِي طَعَامٍ مُشْتَرَكٍ فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَكَلَ وَحْدَهُ فَلْيَأْكُلْ كَيْفَ أَحَبَ.
Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘But rather, that is when he-saww was with the people participating in a meal. As for the one who eats along, let him eat however he likes to’’.[15]
بيان قَالَ فِي النِّهَايَةِ فِي الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنِ الْقِرَانِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْتَأْذِنَ أَحَدُكُمْ صَاحِبَهُ.
Explanation – He said in ‘Al Nihaya’ in the Hadeeth, ‘He-saww Prohibited the pairing except if one of you seeks permission of his companion’’.
و يروى الإقران و الأول أصح و هو أن يقرن بين التمرتين في الأكل و إنما نهى عنه لأن فيه شرها و ذلك يزري بفاعله أو لأن فيه غبنا برفيقه
And it is reported of the pairing, and the first is more correct, and it is that the pairing between the two (types of) dates in the meal, and rather he-saww had prohibited from it because in it is its evil, and that is a disrespect by its doer, or because in it is unfairness with his friend.
و قيل إنما نهى لما كانوا فيه من شدة العيش و قلة الطعام و كانوا مع هذا يواسون من القليل فإذا اجتمعوا على الأكل آثر بعضهم بعضا على نفسه و قد يكون في القوم من قد اشتد جوعه فربما قرن بين التمرتين أو عظم اللقمة فأرشدهم إلى الإذن فيه لتطيب به أنفس الباقين.
And it is said, ‘But rather he-saww had prohibited that due to what they were in the difficult life, and along with this, they were comforting from the little. So when they gathered upon the meal, one of them would prefer the other over himself, and there would be among the people, one whose anger would be severe. Sometimes he would pair between the two dates, or a large morsel. So he-saww guided them to the permission in it, for the rest to feel good’.
و منه حديث جبلة قال كنا في المدينة في بعث العراق فكان ابن الزبير يرزقنا التمر و كان ابن عمر يمر فيقول لا تقارنوا إلا أن يستأذن الرجل أخاه هذا لأجل ما فيه من الغبن و لأن ملكهم فيه سواء و روي نحوه عن أبي هريرة في أصحاب الصفة انتهى.
And from it is Hadeeth of Jabalah who said, ‘We were in Al-Medina among a group dispatched from Al Iraq, and Ibn Al-Zubeyr was gracing us the dates, and Ibn Umar passed by. He said, ‘Do not be pairing except if the man seeks permission of his brother. This is due to what is in it from the unfairness, and because their ownership in it is equal’. And approximate to it is reported from Abu Hureyra regarding companions of the platform’ – end.
و قال الكرماني النهي للتحريم أو الكراهية بحسب الأحوال و الإذن و قال الطيبي و لا حاجة إلى الإذن عند الاتساع و كذا إذا كان الطعام كثيرا يشبع الجميع لكن الأدب حسن.
And Al-Kirmany said, ‘The forbiddance is for the prohibition or the abhorrence in accordance with the situations and the permission’. And Al-Tabie said, ‘And there is no need to the permission during the capacity, and like that is when the food was a lot (able to) satiate all, but having the etiquette is better.
و 14 قَالَ فِي إِكْمَالِ الْإِكْمَالِ فِي رِوَايَةِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَا تُقَارِنُوا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص نَهَى عَنِ الْإِقْرَانِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْتَأْذِنَ الرَّجُلُ صَاحِبَهُ.
And he said in ‘Ikmal Al Ikmal’, in a report from Ibn Umar having said: ‘Do not be pairing, for Rasool-Allah-saww has prohibited from the pairing except if the man were to seek permission of his companion’.
هذا النهي متفق عليه حتى يستأذنهم فإذا أذنوا فلا بأس و اختلفوا في أن هذا النهي على التحريم أو على الكراهة و الأدب فنقل القاضي عياض عن أهل الظاهر أنه للتحريم و عن غيرهم أنه للكراهة و الأدب.
The prohibition, there is consensus upon it until permission is sought. If they were to seek permission, there is no problem, and they differed regarding that this prohibition, is it based upon the prohibition, or upon the abhorrence, and the etiquette. Al-Qazy Iyaz transmitted from the people (going with) the apparent that it is for the prohibition, and from others that it is the abhorrence and the etiquette.
و الصواب التفصيل فإن كان الطعام مشتركا بينهم فالقران حرام إلا برضاهم و يحصل الرضا بتصريحهم أو بما يقوم مقام التصريح من قرينة حال أو إدلال عليهم كلهم بحيث يعلم يقينا أو ظنا قويا أنهم يرضون به و متى شك في رضاهم فهو حرام و إن كان الطعام لغيرهم أو لأحدهم اشترط رضاه وحده فإن قرن بغير رضاه فحرام و يستحب أن يستأذن الآكلين معه و لا يجب.
And the correct of the detail is, if the meal was a participation between them, then the pairing is prohibited except if he pleases them, and the pleasure is resulted by their being explicit, or with what stands in place of the explicit from a state of pairing, or evidence upon all of them whereby he knows with certainty of a strong guess that they are pleased with him; and when there is doubt in their being please, it is prohibited, and even if the food was for others or for one of them, his lone pleasure is conditional. If the pairing was without his pleasure, it is prohibited, and it is recommended that he seeks permission of the eaters with him, and he does not answer.
و إن كان الطعام لنفسه و قد ضيفهم به فلا يحرم عليه القران ثم إن كان في الطعام قلة فحسن أن لا يقترن لتساويهم و إن كان كثيرا بحيث يفضل عنهم فلا بأس بقرانه لكن الأدب مطلقا التأدب في الأكل و ترك الشره إلا أن يكون مستعجلا و يريد الإسراع لشغل آخر.
And if the meal was for himself and he had guests with him, the pairing is not prohibited upon him. Then if there was scarcity in the food, it is better if he does not pair in order to equalise them, and if there was plenty whereby, he prefers from them, there is no problem with his pairing, but the etiquette is absolute, the politeness in the eating, and leaving its evil, except that if he happens to be hasty and wants the quickness for another occupation.
و قال الخطابي إنما كان هذا في زمنهم و حين كان الطعام ضيقا فأما اليوم مع اتساع الحال فلا حاجة إلى الإذن و ليس كما قال بل الصواب ما ذكرناه من التفصيل.
And Al Khataie said, ‘But rather this was during their time when the food was scarce. As for today with the capacious situation, there is no need to the permission’. And it isn’t like what he said. But the correct is what we have mentioned from the detail’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَ صَدَقَةٌ أَمْ هَدِيَّةٌ قَالُوا بَلْ هَدِيَّةٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَيُّ تَمَرَاتِكُمْ هَذِهِ قَالُوا الْبَرْنِيُّ
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Is it charity or a gift?’ They said, ‘But, it is a gift, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’ He-saww said: ‘Which of your dates is this?’ They said, ‘Al-Barny’.
فَقَالَ ص فِي تَمْرَتِكُمْ هَذِهِ تِسْعُ خِصَالٍ إِنَّ هَذَا جَبْرَئِيلُ ع يُخْبِرُنِي أَنَّ فِيهِ تِسْعَ خِصَالٍ يُطَيِّبُ النَّكْهَةَ وَ يُطَيِّبُ الْمَعِدَةَ وَ يَهْضِمُ الطَّعَامَ وَ يَزِيدُ فِي السَّمْعِ وَ الْبَصَرِ وَ يُقَوِّي الظَّهْرَ وَ يُخَبِّلُ الشَّيْطَانَ وَ يُقَرِّبُ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ يُبَاعِدُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ.
He-saww said: ‘There are nine qualities in these dates of yours. This here is Jibraeel-as informing me-saww that there are nine qualities in it – freshening the breath, and freshens the stomach, and digests the food, and increases in the hearing and the sight, and strengthens the back, and confuses the Satan-la, and draws closer to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and distances from the Satan-la’’.[21]

(The book) ‘Al-Mahasin’ – from his father, from Al-Hassan Bin Tareyf, from Al-Husayn Bin Ulwan,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘A delegation of Abdul Qays arrived to Rasool-Allah-saww. They placed a basket of dates in front of him. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Is it charity or a gift?’ They said, ‘But, it is a gift’. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Which dates of yours are these?’ They said, ‘These are Al-Barny, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’
فَقَالَ هَذَا جَبْرَئِيلُ يُخْبِرُنِي أَنَّ فِي تَمْرَتِكُمْ هَذِهِ تِسْعَ خِصَالٍ تُخَبِّلُ الشَّيْطَانَ وَ يُقَوِّي الظَّهْرَ وَ تَزِيدُ فِي الْمُجَامَعَةِ وَ تَزِيدُ فِي السَّمْعِ وَ الْبَصَرِ وَ تُقَرِّبُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ تُبَاعِدُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ تَهْضِمُ الطَّعَامَ وَ تَذْهَبُ بِالدَّاءِ وَ تُطَيِّبُ النَّكْهَةَ.
This here is Jibraeel-as. He-as informs me-saww that these dates of yours have nine qualities – confusing the Satan-la, and strengthens the back, and increases in the virility, and increases in the hearing and the sight, and draws closer to Allah-azwj and distances from the Satan-la, and digests the food, and removes the illness, and freshens the breath’’.[36]
12- الْمَحَاسِنُ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الرَّيِّ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: سُئِلَ عَنْ خَلْقِ النَّخْلِ بَدْءاً مِمَّا هُوَ
(The book) ‘Al-Mahasin’ – From one of our companions, from people of Al Rayy, raising it to,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws was asked about creation of the palm trees, ‘What did it begin from?’
فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لَمَّا خَلَقَ آدَمَ مِنَ الطِّينَةِ الَّتِي خَلَقَهُ مِنْهَا فَضَلَ مِنْهَا فَضْلَةٌ فَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا نَخْلَتَيْنِ ذَكَراً وَ أُنْثَى فَمِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهَا خُلِقَتْ مِنْ طِينِ آدَمَ تَحْتَاجُ الْأُنْثَى إِلَى اللِّقَاحِ كَمَا تَحْتَاجُ الْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى اللِّقَاحِ وَ يَكُونُ مِنْهُ جَيِّدٌ وَ رَدِيٌّ وَ دَقِيقٌ وَ غَلِيظٌ وَ ذَكَرٌ وَ أُنْثَى وَ وَالِدٌ وَ عَقِيمٌ
He-asws said: ‘When Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Created Adam-as from the clay He-azwj Created him-as, a remnant remained from it. He-azwj Created two date palm trees, a male and a female. So, from that reason, it has been Created from the clay of Adam-as. The female is needy to the pollination like what the woman is needy to the impregnation, and there becomes from it, the good and the bad, and thin and thick, and male and female, productive and non-productive’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ عَجْوَةً فَأَمَرَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ ع أَنْ يَنْزِلَ بِهَا مَعَهُ حِينَ أُخْرِجَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَغَرَسَهَا بِمَكَّةَ فَمَا كَانَ مِنْ نَسْلِهَا فَهِيَ الْعَجْوَةُ وَ مَا كَانَ مِنْ نَوَاهَا فَهُوَ سَائِرُ النَّخْلِ الَّذِي فِي مَشَارِقِ الْأَرْضِ وَ مَغَارِبِهَا.
Then he-asws said: ‘It was Ajwa, so Allah-azwj Commanded Adam-as to take it down with him-as when he-as was expelled from the Paradise. He-as planted it at Makkah. So, whatever was from its offspring, it is Al-Ajwa, and whatever was from its kernels, it is rest of the date palms which is in the easts of the earth and its wests’’.[37]

(The book) ‘Al-Mahasin’ – From Marwak, from the one who mentioned it,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Advise your generality to good the date tree, for it has been Created from the clay of Adam-as. Are you not seeing that there isn’t anything from the tree (requiring manual) pollinating apart from it?’’[38]

(The book) ‘Al-Mahasin’ – From Muhammad Bin Ali, from Ali Bin Al Khattab Al Hallal, from Ala’a Bin Razeyn,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘O Ala’a! Do you know what is the first tree to have been grown upon the surface of the earth?’
قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ ابْنُ رَسُولِهِ أَعْلَمُ
I said, ‘Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and son-asws of His-azwj Rasool-saww are more knowing’.
قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا الْعَجْوَةُ فَمَا خَلَصَ فَهُوَ الْعَجْوَةُ وَ مَا كَانَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنَ الْأَشْيَاءِ.
He-asws said: ‘It is Al-Ajwa. So, whatever is pure, it is Al-Ajwa, and whatever was other than that, it is rather from the things’’.[39]
بيان فما خلص أي نبت من غصن من أغصانه بغير واسطة أو بها أو بوسائط أو شابهها مشابهة تامة
Explanation of ‘So whatever is pure’ – i.e., grown from a branch (twig) from its branches without an intermediary, or with it, or with mediation, or it’s like a complete likeness.
و ما كان غير ذلك على الوجهين فإنما هو من الأشياء أي من غيرها من أنواع التمور و في الكافي من الأشباه أي يشبهها و ليست هي و يحتمل أن يكون بالياء المثناة و الهاء جمع شية أي الألوان المختلفة.
And ‘What was other than that’, is based upon two aspects. ‘It is rather from the things’ – i.e., from others from the types of dates. And in (the book) Al-Kafi, ‘From its like, i.e., resembling it, and it isn’t it’. And it is possible that happens to be with (the letter) ‘Ya’ and ‘Al Ha’, plural of ‘various’, i.e., different colours’’.

‘Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws said: ‘Do you know what Maryam-as had conceived from?’ I said, ‘No, unless if you-asws were to inform me’. He-asws said: ‘From Al-Sarfan dates Jibraeel-as had descended with and fed it to her-as, so she-as conceived’’.[78]
49 وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع نِعْمَ التَّمْرُ الصَّرَفَانُ لَا دَاءَ وَ لَا غَائِلَةَ.
And form him, from one of his companions who said,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Best of the dates is Al Sarfan. There is neither any illness for it nor affliction’’.[79]
50- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنِ الْحَجَّالِ عَنْ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ الْحَمَّارِ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَأَتَيْنَا بِقُبَاعٍ مِنْ رُطَبٍ فِيهِ أَلْوَانٌ مِنَ التَّمْرِ فَجَعَلَ يَأْخُذُ الْوَاحِدَةَ بَعْدَ الْوَاحِدَةِ وَ قَالَ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ تُسَمُّونَ هَذِهِ حَتَّى وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا قُلْنَا نُسَمِّيهَا الْمُشَانَ
And from him, from Al Hajjal, from Abu Suleyman Al Hammar who said,
‘We were in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws, and we were brought a basket of dates wherein were (various) types of dates. He-asws went on to take the one after the one and said: ‘Which thing are you naming this?’, until he-asws placed his-asws hand upon one of them. We said, ‘We name it as Al-Mashan’.
قَالَ لَكِنَّا نُسَمِّيهَا أُمَّ جِرْذَانَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أُتِيَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْهَا وَ دَعَا لَهَا فَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ نَخْلِنَا أَحْمَلَ لِمَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهَا.
He-asws said: ‘But we are naming is at ‘Umm Jirzan’. Rasool-Allah-saww had been brought something from these, and he-saww had supplicated for it. So there isn’t anything from our date trees more fruit-bearing, due to him-saww having taken from it’’.[80]
6 تَوْضِيحٌ رَوَاهُ فِي الْكَافِي عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَجَّالِ عَنْ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ الْحَمَّارِ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَجَاءَنَا بِمَضِيرَةٍ وَ بِطَعَامٍ بَعْدَهَا ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِقِنَاعٍ مِنْ رُطَبٍ عَلَيْهِ أَلْوَانٌ فَجَعَلَ يَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهِ الْوَاحِدَةَ بَعْدَ الْوَاحِدَةِ
Clarification – It is reported in (the book) Al-Kafi – from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Hajjal, from Abu Suleyman Al Hammar who said, ‘We were in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws and they came to us with milk broth (as starters) and the meal after it. Then we were brought a basket of dates having variety upon it. He-asws went on to take in his-asws hand, the one after the one.
فَقَالَ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ تُسَمُّونَ هَذِهِ فَنَقُولُ كَذَا وَ كَذَا حَتَّى أَخَذَ وَاحِدَةً فَقَالَ مَا تُسَمُّونَ هَذِهِ فَقُلْنَا الْمُشَانَ فَقَالَ نَحْنُ نُسَمِّيهَا أُمَّ جِرْذَانَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أُتِيَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْهَا فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا وَ دَعَا لَهَا فَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ نَخْلٍ أَجْمَلَ مِنْهَا.
He-asws said: ‘Which thing are you naming this?’ We were saying, ‘Such and such’, until he-asws took one and said: ‘What are you naming this?’ We said, ‘Al Mushan’. He-asws said: ‘We are naming it as ‘Umm Jirzan’. Rasool-Allah-saww had been brough something from these, so he-saww ate from it and supplicated for it. Thus, (due to his-saww supplication), there isn’t anything from the dates trees more fruit-bearing than it’’.

And from him, from a number of his companions, from Hanan Bin Sadeyr, from his father who said,
‘Abu Ja’far-asws entered to see me at Al-Medina. I forwarded to him-asws Nirsiyan dates and butter. He-asws ate. Then he-asws said: ‘How fresh this is! Which this is it (called) with you all?’ I said, ‘Al Nirsiyan’. He-asws said: ‘Gift to me-asws from its kernels until I-asws plant it in my-asws land’’.[83]

(The book) ‘Al-Mahasin’ – From Ibn Fazzal, from Sa’alba Bin Maymoun, from Abu Al-Hassan, from Ammar Al Sabaty who said,
‘I was with Abu Abdullah-asws and they came with the dates. He-asws went on to eat from it and drink the water, and he-asws gave me the container. I disliked to return it, so I drank, to the extent that he-asws did that repeatedly.
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنِّي كُنْتُ صَاحِبَ بَلْغَمٍ فَشَكَوْتُ إِلَى أَهْرَنَ طَبِيبِ الْحِجَازِ فَقَالَ لِي أَ لَكَ بُسْتَانٌ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَفِيهِ نَخْلٌ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ عُدَّ عَلَيَّ مَا فِيهِ فَعَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى بَلَغْتُ الْهِيرُونَ فَقَالَ لِي كُلْ مِنْهُ سَبْعَ تَمَرَاتٍ حِينَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَنَامَ وَ لَا تَشْرَبِ الْمَاءَ فَفَعَلْتُ فَكُنْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَبْزُقَ فَلَا أَقْدِرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَشَكَوْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ اشْرَبِ الْمَاءَ قَلِيلًا وَ أَمْسِكْ حَتَّى تَعْتَدِلَ طَبِيعَتُكَ فَفَعَلْتُ
I said to him-asws, ‘I was with phlegm and complained to Ahran, physician of Al-Hijaz. He said to me, ‘Is there an orchard for you?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘Is there a date tree in it?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘Count to me what is in it’. I counted to him until I reached Al-Heyroun. He said to me, ‘Eat seven dates from it when you want to sleep, and do not drink the water’. I did so. I wanted to spit but was not able upon that. So I complained to him. He said, ‘Drink a little water and withhold until your health is better’. I did so’.
فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَوْ لَا الْمَاءُ بِالْبَيْتِ لَا أَذُوقُهُ.
Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘As for I-asws, had there been no water in the house, I-asws would not have tasted it’’.[85]
56 وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ: مَنْ أَكَلَ التَّمْرَ عَلَى شَهْوَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِيَّاهُ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ.
And from him, from Abu Ali Ahmad Is’haq, raising it, said,
‘One who eats the dates based upon a desire of Rasool-Allah-saww for it, it would not harm him’’.[86]

He-asws said: ‘Seek out a punch of dates for me-asws’.
قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَجِئْتُهُ بِقِطْعَةِ تَمْرٍ فِي قِطْعَةِ قِرْبَةٍ فَأَقْبَلَ يَتَنَاوَلُ وَ أَنَا قَائِمٌ وَ هُوَ مُضْطَجِعٌ فَتَنَاوَلَ مِنْهَا تَمَرَاتٍ وَ هِيَ بِيَدِي
He (the narrator) said, ‘I went out and came to him with a bunch of dates in a tray with water. He-asws went on to take while I was standing, and he-asws was gargling. He-asws took some dates from it, and it (tray) was in my hand’.
قَالَ ثُمَّ رَكِبْنَا دَوَابَّنَا وَ أَبَّنَا فَقَالَ مَا كَانَ فِي طَعَامِهِمْ شَيْءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ التَّمَرَاتِ الَّتِي أَكَلْتُهَا.
He (the narrator) said, ‘Then we rode our animals and we-asws departed. He-asws said: ‘There wasn’t anything in your meal more beloved to me-asws than the dates which I-asws eaten’’.[87]

(The book) ‘Kitab Al Gharaat’ of Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Saqafy, by his chain from Ibn Nubata,
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws was asked about the first thing to have shaken upon the surface of the earth. He-asws said: ‘The date tree, and its example is an example of a son of Adam-as. When his head it cut off, he is destroyed (dies), and when the head (top) of the date tree is cut off, it is a thrown away trunk’’.[98]
61 الشِّهَابُ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص خَيْرُ الْمَالِ سِكَّةٌ مَأْبُورَةٌ وَ فَرَسٌ مَأْمُورَةٌ وَ قَالَ نِعْمَ الْمَالُ النَّخْلُ الرَّاسِخَاتُ فِي الْوَحَلِ الْمُطْعِمَاتُ فِي الْمَحْلِ.
Al-Shihab,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Best of the wealth is the pollinating date tree and an obedient horse’. And he-saww said: ‘Best of the wealth is the tall date tree in the mud, the feeder during the drought’’.[99]
و16 فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ أَكْرِمُوا النَّخْلَةَ فَإِنَّهَا عَمَّتُكُمْ.
And in another Hadeeth: ‘Honour the date tree for it is your ‘auntie’’.[100]
و تشبيهها بالعمة من وجهين. أحدهما أنها أنزلت مع آدم ع من الجنة و كان يحبها غاية المحبة حتى أمر بأن يصحب بعضها إذا دفن فأصحب جريدتين منها.
Note: And its resemblance with the auntie is from two aspects. One of these is that it descended with Adam-as from the Paradise, and he-as used to love it the peak of love to the extent that he-as instructed with accompanying part of it when he-as is buried, so two branches (twigs) from it were accompanied.
و الثاني أن بعض أحوالها يشبه أحوال ابن آدم لا تحمل من غير تلقيح و إن قطع رأسها جفت.
And the second is the some of its situations resembles the situations of the son of Adam-as. It does not bear fruit from without impregnation (pollination), and if its head it cut off, it dies.
و فائدة الحديث تعظيم حرمة النخل و راوي الحديث موسى بن جعفر الكاظم ع عن أبيه عن آبائه ع عن رسول الله ص.
And a benefit of the Hadeeth is reverence of the sanctity of the date tree, and reporter of the Hadeeth is Musa Bin Ja’far Al Kazim-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws, from Rasool-Allah-saww.

68 الْفِرْدَوْسُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: كُلُوا الْبَلَحَ بِالتَّمْرِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ إِذَا أَكَلَهُ ابْنُ آدَمَ غَضِبَ فَقَالَ بَقِيَ ابْنُ آدَمَ حَتَّى أَكَلَ الْجَدِيدَ بِالْخَلَقِ.

(The book) ‘Al-Firdows’ – ‘Eat the dates upon the empty stomach, for it will kill the worms’’.[112] (From a non-Shia source)

14 وَ فِي فَضْلِ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ لِابْنِ الْمُؤَيَّدِ الْحِمَوِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ص يَوْماً فِي بَعْضِ حِيطَانٍ وَ يَدُ عَلِيٍّ فِي يَدِهِ
And in (the book) ‘Fazl Ahl Al-Bayt-asws’ of Ibn Al-Muwayyid Al-HImawy, from Jabir, may Allah‑azwj be Pleased with him, said, ‘I was with the Prophet-saww on day in one the gardens and the hand of Ali-asws was in his-saww hand’.
قَالَ فَمَرَرْنَا بِنَخْلٍ فَصَاحَ النَّخْلُ هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ سَيِّدُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ هَذَا عَلِيٌّ سَيِّدُ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ أَبُو الْأَئِمَّةِ الطَّاهِرِينَ
He (Jabir) said, ‘We passed by a date three. The date tree shouted, ‘This is Muhammad-saww, chief of the Prophets-as, and this is Ali-asws chief of the successors-asws, father-asws of the pure Imams-asws!’
ثُمَّ مَرَرْنَا بِنَخْلٍ فَصَاحَ النَّخْلُ هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ هَذَا عَلِيٌّ سَيْفُ اللَّهِ
Then we passed by a date tree. The date tree shouted, ‘This is Muhammad-saww, Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, and this is Ali-asws, sword of Allah-azwj!’
فَالْتَفَتَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع فَقَالَ لَهُ سَمِّهِ الصَّيْحَانِيَّ فَسُمِّيَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ الصَّيْحَانِيَّ فَكَانَ هَذَا سَبَبَ تَسْمِيَةِ هَذَا النَّوْعِ بِذَلِكَ أَوِ الْمُرَادُ نَخْلُ ذَلِكَ الْحَائِطِ وَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ الْيَوْمَ مَوْضِعٌ يُعْرَفُ بِالصَّيْحَانِيِ.
The Prophet-saww turned towards Ali-asws. He-saww said to him-asws: ‘Name it as ‘Al-Seyhani’. So it was named as ‘Al-Seyhani’ from that day. So this was the cause of the naming of this type with that, and the intent with the date trees of that garden and (the ones) at Al-Medina today, is a place known as Al-Seyhani’’.[114]
71 الدَّعَائِمُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُحِبُّ التَّمْرَ وَ يَقُولُ الْعَجْوَةُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ كَانَ يَضَعُ التَّمْرَةَ عَلَى اللُّقْمَةِ وَ يَقُولُ هَذِهِ إِدَامُ هَذِهِ
(The book) ‘Al-Da’aim’ –
From Rasool-Allah-saww, He-saww used to love the dates, and he-saww said: ‘Al-Ajwa is from the Paradise’, and he-saww would place the date upon the morsel and saying, ‘This is a sauce (dip) of this’.
وَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع يَقُولُ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ الرَّجُلَ يَكُونُ تَمْرِيّاً لِحُبِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص التَّمْرَ
And Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws said: ‘I-asws love the man who happens to be date-eating, due to the love of Rasool-Allah-azwj for the date’.
وَ كَانَ ص إِذَا قُدِّمَ إِلَيْهِ الطَّعَامُ وَ فِيهِ التَّمْرُ بَدَأَ بِالتَّمْرِ وَ كَانَ يُفْطِرُ عَلَى التَّمْرِ فِي زَمَنِ التَّمْرِ وَ عَلَى الرُّطَبِ فِي زَمَنِ الرُّطَبِ.
And he-saww, whenever the meal was forwarded to him-saww and the dates were in it, would begin with the dates, and he-saww would break fast upon the dry date in the time of the dry dates, and upon the fresh dates, in the time of the fresh dates’’.[115]
6 وَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ أَكَلَ عِنْدَهُ طَعَاماً فَلَمَّا أَنْ رُفِعَ الطَّعَامُ قَالَ جَعْفَرٌ ع يَا جَارِيَةُ ائْتِنَا بِمَا عِنْدَكِ فَأَتَتْهُ بِتَمْرٍ
From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws. A man from his-asws companions ate a meal in his-asws presence. When the meal was raised, Ja’far-asws said: ‘O maid! Come to us with whatever is with you’. She came with dates.
فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ هَذَا زَمَنُ الْفَاكِهَةِ وَ الْأَعْنَابِ وَ كَانَ صَيْفاً فَقَالَ كُلْ فَإِنَّهُ خُلُقٌ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص الْعَجْوَةُ لَا دَاءَ وَ لَا غَائِلَةَ.
The man said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! These are the times of the fruits and the grapes!’ And it was summer. He-asws said: ‘Eat, for it is a mannerism from Rasool-Allah-azwj. Al-Ajwa, there is neither any illness nor affliction (in it)’’.[116]

Whichever Momin eats a pomegranate until he finishes it, Allah-azwj Allah-azwj would Remove the Satan-la from (meddling in) the illumination of his heart for forty days.
وَ مَنْ أَكَلَ اثْنَتَيْنِ أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ الشَّيْطَانَ عَنْ إِنَارَةِ قَلْبِهِ مِائَةَ يَوْمٍ وَ مَنْ أَكَلَ ثَلَاثاً حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفِيَهَا أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ الشَّيْطَانَ عَنْ إِنَارَةِ قَلْبِهِ سَنَةً وَ مَنْ أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ الشَّيْطَانَ عَنْ إِنَارَةِ قَلْبِهِ لَمْ يُذْنِبْ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يُذْنِبْ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ.
And one who eats two, Allah-azwj would Remove the Satan-la from (meddling in the) illumination of his heart for one hundred days. And one who eats three, until he finishes it, Allah-azwj would Remove the Satan-la from (meddling in the) illumination of his heart for a year, and the one whom Allah-azwj Removes the Satan-la from (meddling in the) illumination of his heart, would not sin, and the one who does not sin would enter the Paradise’’.[189]

فَجَاءَ بِخَشَبَةٍ يَابِسَةٍ فَدَعَا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهَا فَاخْضَرَّتْ وَ أَيْنَعَتْ وَ جَاءَتْ بِالْمِشْمِشِ حِمْلًا فَأَكَلُوا فَكُلُّ مَنْ أَكَلَ وَ نَوَى أَنْ يُسْلِمَ عَلَى يَدِ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيِّ خَرَجَ مَا فِي جَوْفِ النَّوَى مِنْ فِيهِ حُلْواً وَ مَنْ نَوَى أَنَّهُ لَا يُسْلِمُ خَرَجَ مَا فِي جَوْفِ النَّوَى مِنْ فِيهِ مُرّاً.
He-as came with a dry (piece of) wood. He-as supplicated to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic upon it. It became green and ripened, and he-as came with a load of apricots. They ate. All the ones who ate and intended to submit upon the hand of that Prophet-as, sweetness emerged in what was in the interior of the kernel from his mouth, and the one who intended that he will not be submitting, there emerged bitterness what was in the interior of the kernel, from his mouth’’.[336]

I said, ‘I have eaten a citron with honey before I came to you-asws and I am feeling its heaviness because I have eaten a lot from it’.
فَقَالَ يَا غُلَامُ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى فُلَانَةَ فَقُلْ لَهَا ابْعَثِي إِلَيْنَا بِحَرْفِ رَغِيفٍ يَابِسٍ مِنَ الَّذِي يُجَفَّفُ فِي التَّنُّورِ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَقَالَ كُلْ هَذَا فَإِنَّ الْخُبْزَ الْيَابِسَ يَهْضِمُ الْأُتْرُجَّ فَأَكَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ قُمْتُ مِنْ مَكَانِي فَكَأَنِّي لَمْ آكُلْ شَيْئاً.
He-asws said: ‘O boy! Go to so and so and tell her to send to us dried bread from that which has dried up in the oven’. He came with it. He-asws said: ‘Eat this, for the dry bread digests the citron’. I ate it, then I stood up from my place. It was as if I had not eaten anything’’.[342]

He-asws said: ‘There is nothing worse than it before the meal, and there is nothing more beneficial than it after the meal! Upon you all is with the jam from it, for there is an aroma for it in the inside like the aroma of musk’’.[344]
6 وَ قَالَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى إِنْ كَانَ قَبْلَ الطَّعَامِ خَيْرٌ فَبَعْدَ الطَّعَامِ خَيْرٌ وَ خَيْرٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ هُوَ يُؤْذِي قَبْلَ الطَّعَامِ وَ يَنْفَعُ بَعْدَ الطَّعَامِ وَ إِنَّ الْجُبُنَّ الْيَابِسَ يَهْضِمُ الْأُتْرُجَ.

فَقَالَ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْتَفْتِحَ بِهِ الطَّعَامَ فَإِنَّهُ يَفْتَحُ السُّدَدَ وَ يُشَهِّي الطَّعَامَ وَ يَذْهَبُ بِالسِّلِّ وَ مَا أُبَالِي إِذَا افْتَتَحْتُ بِهِ مَا أَكَلْتُ بَعْدَهُ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ فَإِنِّي لَا أَخَافُ دَاءً وَ لَا غَائِلَةً

قَالَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا مِنَ الْغَدَاءِ دَعَا بِهِ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَتَتَبَّعُ وَرَقَةً مِنَ الْمَائِدَةِ وَ يَأْكُلُهُ وَ يُنَاوِلُنِي وَ يَقُولُ اخْتِمْ بِهِ طَعَامَكَ فَإِنَّهُ يُمْرِئُ مَا قَبْلُ وَ يُشَهِّي مَا بَعْدُ وَ يَذْهَبُ بِالثِّقْلِ وَ يُطَيِّبُ الْجُشَاءَ وَ النَّكْهَةَ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘When we were free from the lunch, he-asws called for it. I saw him-asws pursuing a leaf from it and he-asws ate it, and he-asws gave me and said: ‘End your meal with it for it makes enjoyable what is before and makes one desirous (for more food) what is after, and it does away with the sluggishness, and it makes good the belching and the breath’’.[460]
