It is narrated from Sayyiduna Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and there were dates and bread placed before him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Come near and eat." So I began eating the dates. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are eating dates while you have an eye inflammation?!" I said: O Messenger of Allah, I am chewing on the other side. At that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
