An Abyssinian who had a thick nose, small eyes, dark complexion, and lameness was noticeable when he walked. He was busy picking dates from the bushes of a garden, these dates were not soft and also different from other dates in taste, while the color was dark and the grains were very small, the swinging dates were the last fruit of this garden, in the city. He intended to sell them so that he could raise some money, but no one wanted these dates. At the same time, a voice came saying, “O Abyssinian, this date is as black and dry as yours.” There was a tingling sensation in the heart and tears flowed from the eyes.
Syedna Bilal, who was an Abyssinian slave, rolled up his palms and sat down in the swing. Yes, the same Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) who is the ruler of the two worlds. He asked Bilal (ra) why he was weeping. And he shouted, “People, this palm is ajwa, it is a cure for heart disease, it is a cure for paralysis, it is a cure for seventy diseases, and people!” He is the chief of the palms, then he did not stop saying this, but said: He who eats it is safe from magic. The scene changed when Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) who was sitting in a bush till a few moments ago and was sitting in a daze, was now enriched by Rehmat-ul-Alamin, Prophet of the End Times, Messenger of God (peace be upon him).
