Question

Is this Hadith reliable?

“Whenever you eat fruit, eat melon, because it is the fruit of Paradise and contains 1000 blessings and 1000 mercies. The eating of it cures every disease.”

 

Answer

I have not come across this narration in any primary source. This narration has been attributed to “Tibbun Nabawi” attributed to Imam Mustaghfiri. The book has been published with the chain of narrators removed.

Nevertheless, the Muhaddithun have issued a general declaration of the narrations which discuss the virtues of melons being baseless and fabrications. The narration is not suitable to quote, until further verification.

(Refer: Al Manarul Munif, Hadith: 292, Al Maqasidul Hasanah, Hadith: 296, Al Masnu’, Hadith: 85)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

طب النبي المنسوب الى المستغفري (ص: ١٠)
وقال صلى الله عليه وسلم: «تفكهوا بالبطيخ فانها فاكهة الجنة وفيها الف بركة والف رحمة، واكلها شفاء من كل داء».

المنار المنيف في الصحيح والضعيف (ص: ١٣٠)
(٢٩٢) – ومن ذلك أحاديث البطيخ وفضله وفيه جزء قال الإمام أحمد: «لا يصح في فضل البطيخ شيء إلا أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يأكله».

المقاصد الحسنة:
(٢٩٦) – حديث: البطيخ وفضائله، صنف فيه أبو عمرو النوقافي جزءا، وأحاديثه باطلة، قال أبو القاسم التيمي فيما أجاب به أبا موسى المديني: لا تزيده كثرة الطرق إلا ضعفا، وقال النووي: إنه غير صحيح.

المصنوع في معرفة الحديث الموضوع (ص: ٧٧)
(٨٥) – حديث البطيخ وفضائله قال الزركشي لم يثبت.
