Question

Is there a Hadith which states we should eat dates after eating fish?

Answer

This Hadith has been declared a fabrication by the Muhaddithun.

Shaykh ‘Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah (rahimahullah) further states that word used in this Hadith is not of Arabic origin. The Fabricator has fabricated an Arabic word as well as the Hadith.

(Refer: Al Masnu’ with footnotes of Shaykh ‘Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah, Hadith: 320)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
