قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لِيَكُنْ أَوَّلُ مَا تَأْكُلُ النُّفَسَاءُ الرُّطَبَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَالَ لِمَرْيَمَ وَ هُزِّي إِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ تُساقِطْ عَلَيْكِ رُطَباً جَنِيًّا قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَوَانُ الرُّطَبِ قَالَ سَبْعَ تَمَرَاتٍ مِنْ تَمْرِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَسَبْعَ تَمَرَاتٍ مِنْ تَمْرِ أَمْصَارِكُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ وَ عِزَّتِي وَ جَلَالِي وَ عَظَمَتِي وَ ارْتِفَاعِ مَكَانِي لَا تَأْكُلُ نُفَسَاءُ يَوْمَ تَلِدُ الرُّطَبَ فَيَكُونُ غُلَاماً إِلَّا كَانَ حَلِيماً وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ جَارِيَةً كَانَتْ حَلِيمَةً .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from a number of our companions, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from his uncle Yaqoub Bin Saalim, (It has been narrated) raising it to Amir Al Momineen<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Let the first thing what is eaten by the women after childbirth be the dates, for Allah<sup>azwj</sup> the High Said to Maryam<sup>as</sup> <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:19#h25"><a href="/books/quran:19#h25">[19:25]</a></a> And shake towards you the trunk of the palm tree, it will drop on you fresh ripe dates</span>’. It was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! Suppose it doesn’t happen to be the season for the dates?’ He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Seven dates from the dates of Al-Medina. So if there do not happen to be, so seven dates from the dates of your cities, for Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic is Saying: “By My<sup>azwj</sup> Magnificence, and the Elevation of My<sup>azwj</sup> Status! A woman would not eat the dates during the day she gives birth to a boy except that it would be forbearing (patient), and if it was a girl, she would be forbearing’.
