@Hadithoftheday Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “When any one of you breaks his fast, let him break his fast with dates for that is a blessing; if there are no dates then with water, for that is a means of purification.” - Narrated by Tirmidhi, 658.

@Hadithoftheday It was narrated that Anas R.A said: When the Prophet ﷺ broke his fast, he would start with dates.
Limiting oneself to date & water when breaking the fast is very beneficial, as it introduces food into the stomach gradually,so that it will be prepared to receive food after that.

@Hadithoftheday The fact that the Prophet ﷺ broke his fast with fresh or dried dates or water is very beneficial to the health,as fasting empties the stomach of food & there is no nourishment to be sent to the different parts of the body. Sweet foods are quickest to be absorbed and processed.

@Hadithoftheday Allah provided Isa A.S's mother Maryam A.S with fresh dates when she was experiencing discomfort and pain during the final stages of her pregnancy.
Allah says in Qur'an:
“Shake the trunk of the palm toward you and fresh,ripe dates will drop down onto you.”(Surah Maryam: verse 25)

@Hadithoftheday The Prophet ﷺ stressed the importance of dates as a major food item, saying, “People in a house without dates are in a state of hunger.” (Muslim)

@Hadithoftheday There is a special kind of "Date" called as "Ajwah Date". Ajwah is one of the excellent varieties of dates.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: Ajwah dates are from Paradise.” (Tirmidhi)

@Hadithoftheday Narrated Sa`d R.A:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "He who eats seven 'Ajwa dates every morning, will not be affected by poison or magic on the day he eats them." (Bukhari)
