It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me two prayers, two ways of eating, two kinds of recitation and two ways of dressing. He forbade me to pray after Fajr until the sun has risen high, and after Asr until the sun has set; he forbade me to eat while lying face down on my stomach; and he forbade me to wrap myself in the "samma'" (a sheet wrapped so that the hands cannot come out) and to sit in "ihtiba'" (sitting with the knees drawn up to the stomach) in a single garment when there is no covering between my private parts and the sky. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it in this form.

It is narrated from Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him), the freed slave of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), that he said: I presented dates to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the people began eating two dates together at a time, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade "iqran" (eating two together). This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it in this way.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I was among the People of the Suffah when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent us some Ajwah dates, and they were poured out among us. Out of hunger we began eating two dates together at a time, so whenever one of us ate two together, he would say to his companions: "I have eaten two together, (with your permission) you too eat two at a time." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Amr al-Muzani (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Ajwah (date) and the Rock (Sakhrah) are from Paradise."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The Ajwah and the Rock are from Paradise." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it, because this Mushamma'il is in fact Abu Amr bin Iyas, an elder from the people of Basrah who narrated few hadiths.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to eat fresh dates and would put their stones on "al-qun'"; and "al-qun'" means a tabaq (a plate or tray). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would hold fresh dates in his right hand and a melon in his left, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would eat the fresh dates together with the melon, and it was the most beloved fruit to him (peace and blessings be upon him). Yusuf bin Atiyyah is alone in narrating this hadith, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not use him as evidence. This text is also known, in wording other than this, from the hadith of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her).

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Eat unripe dates together with ripe (dry) dates, for when the son of Adam eats that, Satan becomes angry and says: The son of Adam has remained (alive so long) that he now eats the new together with the old."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Miqdam bin Ma'dikarib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The son of Adam has not filled any vessel worse than his stomach. A few morsels are enough for a person to keep his back upright. But if (eating more) is unavoidable, then one third should be for his food, one third for his drink and one third (left empty) for his breathing."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Juhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I ate tharid made of wheat bread with fatty meat, then I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and began to belch. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is this?! Hold back your belching, for those who eat their fill the most in this world will be the hungriest in the Hereafter." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
