He was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ along with forty-two of his companions. The Prophet ﷺ was praying at the Maqam while they sat behind him waiting for him. When he finished his prayer, he reached out into the space between himself and the Kaabah as if trying to grab something, then turned toward his companions. They sprang up, but he motioned with his hand for them to sit, so they sat down.He said, "Did you see me when I finished my prayer reach out into the space between me and the Kaabah as if I wanted to take something?"They replied, "Yes, Messenger of Allah."He said, "Paradise was shown to me, and I have never seen anything like what it contains. A cluster of grapes passed before me which delighted me, so I reached out to take it, but it slipped past me. Had I taken it, I would have planted it among you so you could eat from the fruit of Paradise. Know that truffles are a remedy for the eye, that the ajwa date is from the fruit of Paradise, and that this black seed found with salt, know that it is a cure for every disease except death."
حدثنا محمد بن عبيد حدثنا صالح يعني ابن حيان
أنه كان مع رسول الله ﷺ في اثنين وأربعين من أصحابه والنبي ﷺ يصلي في المقام وهم خلفه جلوس ينتظرونه فلما صلى أهوى فيما بينه وبين الكعبة كأنه يريد أن يأخذ شيئا ثم انصرف إلى أصحابه فثاروا وأشار إليهم بيده أن اجلسوا فجلسوا فقال رأيتموني حين فرغت من صلاتي أهويت فيما بيني وبين الكعبة كأني أريد أن آخذ شيئا قالوا نعم يا رسول الله قال إن الجنة عرضت علي فلم أر مثل ما فيها وإنها مرت بي خصلة من عنب فأعجبتني فأهويت إليها لآخذها فسبقتني ولو أخذتها لغرستها بين ظهرانيكم حتى تأكلوا من فاكهة الجنة واعلموا أن الكمأة دواء العين وأن العجوة من فاكهة الجنة وأن هذه الحبة السوداء التي تكون في الملح اعلموا أنها دواء من كل داء إلا الموت
