3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Abi ‘Abdillah from his father from Fadhalah bin Ayyub from ‘Umar bin Aban al-Kalbi who has said the following: “I once heard Aba Ja‘far, and Aba ‘Abdillah AS, saying, ‘No other fruit on earth was as much desirable to the Messenger of Allah SAW, as pomegranate and by Allah, he [the Messenger of Allah] preferred to not share it with anyone.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar·Thaqalayn link·The Arabic above is the original.
