And within the land are neighboring plots and gardens of grapevines and crops and palm trees, [growing] several from a root or otherwise, watered with one water; but We make some of them exceed others in [quality of] fruit. Indeed in that are signs for a people who reason. (Quran 13:4)

Narrated Sahl bin Sad: We used to be happy on Fridays, for there was an old lady who used to pull out the roots of Silq and put it in a cooking pot with some barley. When we had finished the prayer, we would visit her and she would present that dish before us. So we used to be happy on Fridays because of that, and we never used to take our meals or have a mid-day nap except after the Friday prayer. By Allah, that meal contained no fat. ( Sahih Bukhari book 65 295)

Narrated 'Aisha : The Prophet (pbuh) died when we had satisfied our hunger with the two black things, i.e. dates and water. ( Sahih Bukhari Book 65 295)

Narrated 'Aisha: Allah's Apostle(pbuh) used to love sweet edible things and honey.
( Sahih Bukhari Book 65 342)
