From the Sunnah

  • Allah says:

    “And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates.”

    وَهُزِّىٓ إِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ ٱلنَّخْلَةِ تُسَـٰقِطْ عَلَيْكِ رُطَبًا جَنِيًّا

    Qur'an 19:25 · Saheeh International

  • Narrated 'Abdullah bin Ja'far:

    “I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) eating fresh dates with snake cucumbers.”

    رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَأْكُلُ الرُّطَبَ بِالْقِثَّاءِ

    Sahih al-Bukhari 5449 · translation: sunnah.com
