Some people do not have appetite for eating heavy meal at Sahoor, yet they fear leaving their stomach empty all day long. Why not try dates with its friends?
[عن أبي هريرة عن الرسول: نِعم سَحورُ المؤمنِ التَّمرُ
ابن حبان (ت ٣٥٤)، صحيح ابن حبان ٣٤٧٥ • أخرجه في صحيحه
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) spoke highly of dates and said: “What an excellent sahoor is (eating) of dates for the believer.❗” Narrated by Abu Dawood (2345).
👉Date alone
👉Date and watermelon/Golden Melon
👉Date and cucumber [The Prophet and Umm Mu’umin Aisha’s (R.A) diet]👇🏼
Narrated ”Abd Allah b. Ja’far said: The Prophet used to eat cucumber with fresh dates. [Abu Daawud]
Sunan Abu Dawood, Medicine (Kitab Al-Tibb)
Book 29, Hadith 49
Narrated ‘Aisha, Ummul Mu’minin: My mother intended to make me gain weight to send me to the (house of) the Messenger of Allah. But nothing which she desired benefited me till she gave me cucumber with fresh dates to eat. Then I gained as much weight (as she desired).
You will enjoy your Sahoor with this in sha Allah. I personally love eating them when cold.
