Azami 11597

Muslim narrated it in the Book of Drinks (2048) through several routes from Ismail bin Jafar, from Sharik bin Abu Nimr, from Abdullah bin Abu Atiq, from Ayesha, as mentioned. The addition is from Ahmad (24484) through the route of Sulayman bin Bilal, from Sharik, with the same wording. Its chain is also sahih.His saying, "the aliyah," refers to the upper region of Madinah, which lies to the south of it. His saying, "theriac," refers to what is used among medicines and pastes to counter poison, and it is an arabized word. His saying, "the beginning of the morning" means eating them in the morning before eating anything else. His saying, "whoever eats in the morning" is general, applying to every time and place, and there is no evidence to restrict it to the people of Madinah and the time of prophethood alone, even though some scholars have said so. His saying, "eats in the morning" means eating in the morning before eating anything else.His saying, "ajwa of the aliyah" is a specification drawn from the general reference to the ajwa of Madinah, and this specification does not cancel the general ruling. All that it means is that "the aliyah" has a special quality beyond other places because of its climate. His saying, "seven ajwa dates," the specifying of the number seven leaves no room for personal reasoning, for the Prophet ﷺ specified this number of ajwa dates as a remedy for sorcery and poison, acting like a physician who prescribes medicine and its measured doses, since specifying the exact measure of medicines has great importance for healing, a matter known to everyone.Ayesha used to instruct that someone suffering from dawam, or dawar, take seven ajwa dates over seven mornings on an empty stomach. This was narrated by Ibn Abu Shayba (23945) from Ibn Numayr, who said, Hisham bin Urwa informed us, from his father, from Ayesha, as mentioned. This is a report stopping at her level (mawquf). Dawar, whether pronounced with damma or fatha, is a kind of spinning sensation in the head.As for what Imam Ahmad narrated (1442) from Abu Amir, who said, Fulayh narrated to us, from Abdullah bin Abdul-Rahman, meaning Ibn Mamar, who said, Amir bin Saad related to Umar bin Abdul-Aziz, while he was governor of Madinah, that Saad said, and then he mentioned the hadith. In it he said, Fulayh said, and I think he said, "and if he eats them in the evening, nothing will harm him until morning." Umar then said, "Look, Amir, at what you are narrating from the Messenger of Allah." He replied, "I bear witness that I have not lied about Saad, and Saad did not lie about the Messenger of Allah."This mention of the evening carries an irregularity (nakarah), being uniquely reported by Fulayh, who is Fulayh bin Sulayman Khuzai, and he is daif. Ibn Main, Abu Hatim, Darimi, Nasai, and others declared him daif, while others treated him as acceptable when he did not contradict others and did not bring anything objectionable in his narration. But here he added something to the text that no one else corroborated, and moreover it contradicts what came in the hadith of Ayesha, "the beginning of the morning." And in the version of Ahmad (24735) it reads, "the beginning of the morning, on an empty stomach."
