Abu Usaid As-Sa'di invited Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to his wedding party and his wife who was the bride,
served them on that day. Do you know what drink she gave Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)? She had soaked some
dates for him (in water) overnight, and when he had finished his meal she gave him that drink (of
soaked dates).

patients, to follow the funeral procession, to reply to the sneezer (i.e., say to him, 'Yarhamuka-l-lah
(May Allah bestow His Mercy upon you), if he says 'Al-hamduli l-lah' (Praise be to Allah), to help
others to fulfill their oaths, to help the oppressed, to greet (whomever one should meet), and to accept
the invitation (to a wedding banquet). He forbade us to wear golden rings, to use silver utensils, to use
Maiyathir (cushions of silk stuffed with cotton and placed under the rider on the saddle), the Qasiyya
(linen clothes containing silk brought from an Egyptian town), the Istibraq (thick silk) and the Dibaj
(another kind of silk). (See Hadith No. 539 and 753).
