BLESSED FRUITS
Allah Ta’ala has repeatedly made*reference*to the gift of fruit in the Holy Quran.
In one verse Allah Ta’ala says:
“Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky, and we produce therewith fruits of various colours.”
(Surah Fatir: 87)
GRATITUDE FOR ALL BOUNTIES
Fruits and vegetables are great bounties of Allah Ta’ala upon the creation. Some provide nourishment and others are a source of satisfaction and refreshment. As Muslims, we have been taught in the Quran and Hadith to be thankful to Allah Ta’ala -our Sole Sustainer- for every minute bounty of His. It is only becoming of a True Believer that he remembers his Creator during times of enjoyment and happiness just as he turns to Almighty Allah in the times of difficulty and distress.
The practice of Rasulullah ﷺ at the time of receiving the first fruit of the season was that He would firstly show utmost respect for it, He would then recite a supplication to Allah Ta’ala. Thereafter He would not partake of it Himself; instead He would give it to any child that was present.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah RA, Sayyiduna ibn ‘Abbas RA, Sayyiduna Anas RA and Sayyidatuna Aishah RA have all reported that when the first fruit of the season used to be brought to Rasulullah ﷺ He would kiss it, touch it to his eyes, recite the following Du’a and then give it to the smallest child that was in his presence:
اللهُم كَمَا أَرَيْتَنا أَولَه أَرِنا آخِرَه
*“Allahumma kama araytana awwalahu, arina akhirahu”
Translation:*
O Allah! just as You have shown us the first of it, allow us to see the last of it.
