Does eating seven dates of Ajwa from Medina in the morning protect against all poisons, including cyanide poison, as stated in the Hadith: "Whoever eats seven Ajwa dates in the morning will not be harmed by poison or magic on that day"?

The faith-based aspect of the hadith is that eating dates in the morning is an effective protection against poison, as stated by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in an authentic hadith agreed upon [by scholars]. As for the interpretative and research-based aspect, it requires understanding the limits of the wording and the results of experiments. Scholars have differed in interpreting the hadith; some believed it was specific to a certain type of date palm or to the blessing of the Prophet's supplication, while others confined this protection to the 'Ajwa date of Medina. Some have called for conducting experiments to determine the generality of the effect.

Contemporary research, despite not resolving all disagreements, has proven the general benefit of dates in counteracting the effects of poisons. Studies have shown that date extract resists snake and scorpion venom, even from common types of dates.

Scholars believe that a precise understanding of the hadith requires more experimental research, and that the modern medicine's failure to discover all the properties of 'Ajwa does not negate the authenticity of the hadith, for science is in continuous development.
