Les Dattes

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hanan ibn Sadir from his father who has said the following: “Ali ibn al-Husayn, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, loved to see a man who liked (worked with) dates because of the love of the Messenger for Allah for dates.’”

`Alī ibn Ibrāhīm rapporte de son père, de Ḥanān ibn Sadīr, de son père, qui a dit : `Alī ibn al-Ḥusayn (que la paix soit sur lui) aimait voir un homme manger des dattes par amour pour le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui).

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Urn ay r from abu al-Mighra’ from certain persons of his people from ‘Uqbah ibn Bashir who has said the following: “Once we visited abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, and he (the Imam) asked for dates which we then ate with him (the Imam), but quite a lot of it. The Imam then said that the Messenger of Allah has said, ‘I like a man who is a man of dates (likes dates).”’

Nous sommes entrés chez lui et il a fait apporter des dattes, nous en avons mangé, puis nous en avons pris davantage, et il a dit : "Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) a dit : 'J'aime l'homme, ou il a dit : il m'est agréable, quand il est généreux envers les dattes'."

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Amr ibn ‘Uthman from abu ‘Amr from a man who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘The best of your dates is al- Barniy (a certain kind of date) which removes illnesses and there is no illness in it. It takes away fatigue, there is no harm in it, and it dissolves phlegm. With every date there is one good deed.’ In another Hadith it is said that dates give one delight, palatability, take away fatigue and satisfy one’s hunger.’”

Le meilleur de vos dattes est le Barniyy, il élimine la maladie sans en causer, il élimine la fatigue sans nuire, il élimine le mucus. Chaque datte est bonne, et dans une autre narration, elle apaise et nourrit, élimine la fatigue et rassasie.

6. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il al-Raziy from Sulayman ibn Ja‘far al- Ja‘fariy who has said the following: “Once I visited abu al-Hassan, al-Rida’, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, and there were barniy dates in front of him. He (the Imam) seemed assiduous in eating it with zest. He (the Imam) said, ‘O Sulayman come close and eat.’ I then went close and ate thereof saying, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, I see you eat it with great zest.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, because I love it.’ He (the narrator) has said, that I asked, ‘Why is it so?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is because the Messenger of Allah liked dates. Ali, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, liked dates. Al-Hassan liked dates, abu ‘Abd Allah, al-Husayn liked dates, Zayn al-‘Abidin liked dates, Abu Ja‘far, liked dates, abu ‘Abd Allah, liked dates, my father liked dates, I like dates and our followers like dates because they are created from our clay; and our enemies, O Sulayman like intoxicants because they are created from smokeless fire.’”

"Je suis entré chez Abi al-Hasan ar-Rida (que la paix soit sur lui) et devant lui se trouvait des dattes fraîches, dont il mangeait avec appétit. Il me dit : 'Ô Sulayman, approche et mange.' Je me suis approché et j'ai mangé avec lui, en lui disant : 'Puisses-tu être sacrifié pour toi, je te vois manger ces dattes avec appétit.' Il répondit : 'Oui, je les aime.' J'ai demandé : 'Et pourquoi cela ?' Il dit : 'Parce que le Messager de Dieu (que la paix soit sur lui et sa famille) aimait les dattes, Ali (que la paix soit sur lui) aimait les dattes, al-Hasan (que la paix soit sur lui) aimait les dattes, Aba Abdillah al-Husayn (que la paix soit sur lui) aimait les dattes, Zayn al-Abidin (que la paix soit sur lui) aimait les dattes, Abu Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) aimait les dattes, Abu Abdillah (que la paix soit sur lui) aimait les dattes, mon père (que la paix soit sur lui) aimait les dattes, et moi j'aime les dattes, et nos partisans aiment les dattes car ils ont été créés de notre substance. Et nos ennemis, ô Sulayman, aiment le musk, car ils ont été créés d'une goutte de feu.'"

7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ’Isma‘il ibn Marrar from Yunus from Hisham ibn al-Hakam from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘ Al-Barniy dates give one delight, and palatability. It is a medicine without illness. It takes away fatigue and with every date there is one good deed.’”

Le dattier de Barri nourrit, apaise, fortifie et il est un remède sans maladie. Il éloigne la fatigue, et chaque datte est bonne.

8. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Muhammad ibn Ali from Ali ibn Khattab al-Hallal from al-‘ Ala’ ibn Razin who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, once said to me, ‘O ‘Ala’, do you know what was the first tree that grew on earth?’ I replied, ‘Allah, His Messenger and the child of His Messenger know best. He (the Imam) said, ‘It was al-‘Ajwah. What is pure is al-‘Ajwah (a certain kind of date) and whatever is other than this they are only of the similar one’s.’”

"Ô Alaa, sais-tu quelle est la première plante qui a poussé sur terre?" J'ai répondu: "Allah et Son Messager, ainsi que le fils de Son Messager, le savent mieux." Il a dit: "C'est le jujubier, donc ce qui est pur est le jujubier, et ce qui est autre que cela appartient aux ressemblances."

9. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Rib‘iy from ‘Abd Allah ibn al- Fudayl who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, sent al-‘Ajwah and al-‘Atiq from the sky.’ I then asked, ‘What is al-‘Atiq ?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is the male.’”

Allah, le Très-Haut, a fait descendre l'âne sauvage et le cheval noble du ciel. J'ai demandé : "Qu'est-ce que le cheval noble ?" Il a répondu : "Le pur-sang."

10. Muhammad ibn Yahya One Hundred and Twenty Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from ‘Abd al- Rahman ibn abu Hashim from abu Khadijah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘al-‘Ajxvah is the mother of dates which Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, sent for Adam from paradise.’”

"L'ajwa est la mère des dattes que Dieu, exalté soit-Il, a fait descendre pour Adam (que la paix soit sur lui) du Paradis."

11. Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from Ahmad ibn ‘A’idh from abu Khadijah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘al-‘Ajwah is the mother of dates. It is the date that Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, sent from paradise for Adam, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, as mentioned in His words, ‘. . . whatever you cut down of palm trees and left standing on their trunks’ is a reference to al-‘Ajwah.’”

"Les ajwa sont les mères des dattes, celles que Dieu, Puissant et Majestueux, a fait descendre du Paradis pour Adam (sur lui la paix). C'est ce que Dieu, Puissant et Majestueux, a dit : 'Quand vous coupez une palme, ou que vous la laissez debout sur ses racines', il voulait dire par là les ajwa."

12. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Mu’ammar ibn Khallad who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan, al-Rida’, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘The palm tree of Mary was al-‘Ajwah which was sent in the month of Kanun (one of the months of winter). With Adam al-‘Atiq and al- ‘Ajwah were sent, from these other kinds of palm trees spread.’”

La palmeraie de Marie (que la paix soit sur elle) était de la variété dattière. Elle est descendue en décembre et est descendue avec Adam (que la paix soit sur lui) l'ancienne et la dattière, et à partir d'elle se sont diversifiées les espèces de palmiers.

13. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn abu Hashim from abu Khadijah who has said the following: “Once we took date-stones of al-‘ Ajwah from al-Madinah and a friend of us planted them in a garden. What grew thereof was al-Sukkar, al-Hirun, al-Shahriz and al-Sarfan (names of certain kinds of dates) and all kinds of dates.’”

Nous sommes partis de Médine en direction de Al-Ajwah pour y planter des palmiers. Notre compagnon a planté des dattiers dans un jardin, d'où sont sortis le sucre, l'hydromel, le sirop et le vinaigre, ainsi que toutes sortes de dattes.

14. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn al-Hakam who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Al-Sarfan is the master of your dates.’”

Les deux Serafan sont les seigneurs de vos dattes.

A man from al-Kufah who had bought a garden of palm trees saw him (the Imam). The man asked the slave, ‘Who is he?’ He replied, ‘He is Ja‘far ibn Muhammad, ‘Alayhi al-Salam .’ He then brought a large tray and placed it before him (the Imam). He (the Imam) asked, ‘What is this?’ He replied, ‘It is al-Barniy .’ He (the Imam) said, ‘In it there is a cure/ He (the Imam) then looked at al-Saberiy and asked, ‘What is this?’ He replied, ‘It is al-Saberiy .’ He (the Imam) said, ‘We call it al-Biyd .’ About al-Mushan he (the Imam) asked, ‘What is this?’ He replied, ‘It is al-Mushan .’ He (the Imam) said, ‘We call it ‘Umm Jirdhan.’ He (the Imam) looked at al-Sarfan and asked, ‘What is this?’ He replied, ‘It is al-Sarfan .’ He (the Imam) said, ‘We call it al-‘Ajwah and in it there is a cure.”’

Lorsque Abu 'Abdullah (sur lui la paix) arriva à Hira, il monta sur sa monture et se dirigea vers al-Khawarnaq où il descendit et s'abrita à l'ombre de sa monture. Il avait avec lui un jeune garçon noir. Il vit un homme de Kufa qui avait acheté des palmiers. Il demanda au garçon: "Qui est cet homme?" Le garçon lui répondit: "C'est Ja'far ibn Muhammad (sur lui la paix)." Il apporta alors un grand plateau et le plaça devant lui. Il demanda à l'homme: "Qu'est-ce que ceci?" L'homme répondit: "C'est du beurre." Il regarda ensuite le sabiriyy et demanda: "Qu'est-ce que ceci?" Le sabiriyy répondit: "C'est chez nous du blanc." Il demanda ensuite au mushan: "Qu'est-ce que ceci?" L'homme mushan répondit: "C'est chez nous de la graisse." Il dit (sur lui la paix): "C'est chez nous de l'huile de jirdan." Il regarda ensuite les sarafan et demanda: "Qu'est-ce que ceci?" L'homme sarafan répondit: "C'est chez nous du miel." Et il y a en lui une guérison.

16. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn al-Hakam who has said the following: “Once dates were mentioned before abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, and he said, ‘One with you is better than one with us and all which are with us are better than all that are with you.’”

Il a été mentionné les dattes en sa présence, et il a dit : "Une seule chez vous est meilleure que la seule chez nous, et l'ensemble chez nous est meilleur que l'ensemble chez vous."

17. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muhammad al-Hajj al from abu Sulayman al- Hammar who has said the following: “Once we were with abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, and Mudayrah (a certain sauce) was brought then food, then a basket of dates of several colors was brought. He (the Imam) then picked up one by one and asked, ‘What do you call it?’ and we said that we call it so and so, until he (the Imam) picked up one more and asked, ‘What do you call this?’ We replied, ‘We call it al-Mushan .’ He (the Imam) said, ‘We call it ‘Umm Jirdhan. A certain amount of it was brought to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, and he ate a few from it and prayed because of it; therefore, no other palm tree bears as much dates as this.’”

Nous étions chez Abi Abdullah (sur lui la paix) lorsqu'il nous apporta une sorte de dattes et de nourriture, puis il apporta un masque fait de feuilles de palmier colorées. Il prit une feuille après l'autre et demanda : "Comment appelez-vous ceci ?" Nous répondîmes jusqu'à ce qu'il prit une feuille et demanda : "Comment appelez-vous ceci ?" Nous dîmes : "Al-Mushân." Il dit : "Nous l'appelons Umm Jirzân. Certes, le Messager d'Allah (que la paix soit sur lui et sa famille) en a été apporté, en a mangé et a invoqué des bénédictions pour elle, et rien des dattes n'est plus porteur que cela."

18. Abu Ali al-Ash‘ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from ibn Faddal from Tha’labah ibn Maymun from ‘Ammar al-Sabatiy who has said the following: “I once was with abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, when fresh dates were brought. He (the Imam) began to eat, drink water and gave to me the bowl of water and I disliked to decline. Therefore, I drank until he (the Imam) did it several times. I then said, ‘I experience increased phlegm, and I complained about it before Ahran, the physician of al-Hajjaj and he asked me, “Do you have palm trees in the garden?” I replied, “Yes, there are.” He asked me to name them and I named until I mentioned al- Hirun (a certain tree) and he said, “Eat seven dates thereof when going to bed and do not drink water.” I followed his instruction and I did not have any moisture in my mouth to spit. I complained before him and he said drink a small amount of water and hold back from drinking more until your condition is balanced.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, said, ‘I without water do not even mind if I did not taste it.’”

J'étais avec Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui) quand des dattes furent apportées. Il commença à en manger et à boire de l'eau, puis il me passa le récipient. Je ne voulais pas le lui rendre, mais je bus jusqu'à ce qu'il me le demande à plusieurs reprises. Alors j'ai dit : "J'avais une sensation de catarrhe, alors je suis allé voir Ahmaran, le médecin des pèlerins, et je lui ai dit que j'avais des palmiers dans un jardin." Il m'a demandé si ces palmiers portaient des dattes, et quand j'ai répondu par l'affirmative, il m'a dit de compter combien il y avait de dattes sur chacun d'eux. J'ai compté jusqu'à ce que j'atteigne les palmiers de Hiron. Il m'a dit de manger sept dattes quand je voulais dormir et de ne pas boire d'eau. J'ai suivi ses conseils, mais quand j'ai voulu cracher, je n'ai pas pu. Je lui ai dit cela, et il m'a conseillé de boire un peu d'eau et d'attendre que mon état se stabilise. J'ai suivi ses conseils. Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit : "Si ce n'était pas pour l'eau, je n'aurais pas enduré de ne pas le goûter."

19. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Dihqan from Durust ibn abu Mansur from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘If one eats seven dates everyday of al-‘Ajwah of al-‘Aliyah (name of a place in al-Madinah), poison, magic and Satan do not harm him.’”

Celui qui mange chaque jour sept dattes Ajwa du palmier Al-Aliyah au réveil, aucun poison, aucun sortilège et aucun diable ne pourront lui nuire.

20. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Ya’qub ibn from Ziyad ibn Marwan al-Qandiy from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Eating seven dates of al-‘Ajwah at bed time kill the worms in one’s belly.”’

Celui qui mange sept dattes 'Ajwa lorsqu'il se couche, les vers seront tués dans son ventre.
