"For the people of Al-Madinah, dried dates are their staple, like wheat is to other people. In
addition, dried dates from the area of al-Aliya in Al-Madinah are one of the
best kinds of dates ... Dates are a type of fruit that is also used for its
nutritional and medicinal value, being favorable for most bodies and for their
role in strengthening the natural heat. Moreover, dates do not produce harmful
wastes or excrement like other types of food and fruits. Rather, dates
preserve the body wastes from being spoiled and from rotting, especially for
those who are used to eating dried dates."
