حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ بَابٍ عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ آخِرَ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي إِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ رُطَبَاتٌ وَفِي الْأُخْرَى قِثَّاءٌ وَهُوَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ هَذِهِ وَيَعَضُّ مِنْ هَذِهِ وَقَالَ إِنَّ أَطْيَبَ الشَّاةِ لَحْمُ الظَّهْرِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1749
It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Ja'far that he said; The last time I saw the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) , he had fresh dates in one hand and cucumber in the other, and he was eating one and taking a bite from the other. And he said: "The best part of the sheep is meat from the back."
