Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ بَعَثَتْ مَعَهُ بِقِنَاعٍ فِيهِ رُطَبٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَقَبَضَ قَبْضَةً فَبَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَى بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِهِ وَذَكَرَهُ إِمَّا مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ أَكَلَ أَكْلَ رَجُلٍ يُعْرَفُ أَنَّهُ يَشْتَهِيهِ.
English Translation
'Affan told us, Hammam told us, Qatadah told us, from Anas, that Umm Sulaym sent with him a tray containing fresh dates to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. He said: He took a handful and sent it to one of his wives, and he mentioned this two or three times, then he ate as a man eats who is known to relish it.
