حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُکَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ کَانَتْ أُمِّي تُعَالِجُنِي لِلسُّمْنَةِ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُدْخِلَنِي عَلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَا اسْتَقَامَ لَهَا ذَلِکَ حَتَّی أَکَلْتُ الْقِثَّائَ بِالرُّطَبِ فَسَمِنْتُ کَأَحْسَنِ سِمْنَةٍ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3324
It was narrated that 'Aishah said. "My mother was trying to fatten me up when she wanted to send me to the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H (when she got married), but nothing worked until I ate cucumbers with dates; then I grew plump like the best kind of plump." (Sahih)
