Sahih al-Bukhari 5176 (Book 67, Hadith 111) #4957
Serving Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with Soaked Dates

SUMMARY: A woman served Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) a drink of soaked dates after he had finished his meal.

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd: Abu Usaid As-Sa'di invited Allah's Messenger to his wedding party and his wife who was the bride, served them on that day. Do you know what drink she gave Allah's Messenger ? She had soaked some dates for him (in water) overnight, and when he had finished his meal she gave him that drink (of soaked dates).
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ دَعَا أَبُو أُسَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِي عُرْسِهِ، وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَادِمَهُمْ وَهْىَ الْعَرُوسُ، قَالَ سَهْلٌ تَدْرُونَ مَا سَقَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْقَعَتْ لَهُ تَمَرَاتٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَلَمَّا أَكَلَ سَقَتْهُ إِيَّاهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
Abu Usaid As-Sa'di invited the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to his wedding party and his wife served them on that day. She had prepared a special drink for him by soaking some dates in water overnight. This is an example of how one should serve guests with kindness and generosity. It also shows us the importance of hospitality and being generous to those who visit us. We can learn from this hadith that we should always be kind to our guests and make sure they are comfortable when they come over. We should also strive to be generous in our hospitality by providing them with whatever we can offer, even if it is something as simple as a glass of water or a cup of tea.
