وَقَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو هُوَ أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، ثَنَا زَمْعَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ الرُّطَبُ لَمْ يُفْطِرْ إِلَّا عَلَى الرُّطَبِ، وَإِذَا لَمْ يَكُنِ الرُّطَبُ لَمْ يُفْطِرْ إِلَّا عَلَى التَّمْرِ
