Yeah, I mean this thing about Ajwa dates in my understanding that the prophet what he meant by that if we can if we accept that hadith to be sahih this was simply the prophet highlighting the kind of strength of some you know like if because the dates was a it was a staple diet of the Arabs and the prophet saying you know oh if you ate dates like it's so good not even magic could touch you.
You know it's like it's in that sense. It's not like it wasn't the prophet wasn't teaching like religion in by saying that he was saying it emphasize like when the prophet said in a hadith that a home or a house which has dates in it its occupants or its family inhabitants are never hungry.
Now that doesn't mean that that's not like a religious statement like oh if I put three dates in my house now three pieces of date oh I'll never be hungry. That's not what the prophet meant. He's just trying to say that whoa like if you've got dates at home like and you're still looking for food like that's just a statement like saying whoa like you know you're looking for food and you've got dates because by the way they dates weren't like these kind of small small they had the huge massive kind of dates as well.
But so when he said like oh if anybody ate seven of these let alone other things magic poison couldn't even harm that person. You know that's just a it's hyperbole it's like a hyperbolic kind of exaggerated statement just to kind of praise the food. Yeah like we could say oh if you had biryani at home how could you be hungry?
Allah Allah spices at home huh? If you had a nail at home, how could YOU BE SINGLE? THIS GIVES A WHOLE NEW MEANING to screws. You're screwed. Right, so anyway
