It is authentically reported in the Sahihayn from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that "Whoever eats seven dates in the morning" and in another wording, "seven dates from the 'Aliyah will not be harmed by poison or magic on that day." It is also authentically reported from him: "A house with no dates in it, its people are hungry." Refer to what Ibn al-Qayyim wrote about dates and their benefits in his book Zad al-Ma'ad.
