Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Foods (5431) and in the Book of Medicine (5682), and Muslim in the Book of Divorce (1474:21), both through the route of Hisham, who said, "My father told me, from Ayesha," and he related it. The wording given is that of Bukhari, and it also appears in Muslim within a longer hadith.His saying, "sweets" (al-halwa) is with a long vowel, and in another dialect it is with a short vowel (hulwa), and it applies to anything sweet that is eaten. Khattabi said, "The name hulwa applies only to that which has been processed through craftsmanship."
