حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي، صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يُؤْتَى بِأَوَّلِ الثَّمَرِ فَيَقُولُ " اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي مَدِينَتِنَا وَفِي ثِمَارِنَا وَفِي مُدِّنَا وَفِي صَاعِنَا بَرَكَةً مَعَ بَرَكَةٍ " . ثُمَّ يُعْطِيهِ أَصْغَرَ مَنْ يَحْضُرُهُ مِنَ الْوِلْدَانِ .
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was given the first fruit and he said: O Allah, shower blessings upon us in our city, and in our fruits, in our mudd and in our sa's, blessings upon blessings, and he would then give that to the youngest of the children present there.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1373b
This hadith about Medina's fruits reports that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم would be given the first fruit. He would then ask Allah to shower blessings upon the city, its fruits, its mudd, and its sa', with blessing upon blessing. After making this dua, he would give the fruit to the youngest child present. The wording is shorter than another narration, but its meaning is easy to follow. It teaches that new blessings should lead a believer to dua and gratitude. It also shows the Prophet's gentle care toward children by giving the fruit to the youngest among those present. The focus should remain on the text: dua for blessing in Medina and kindness after receiving the first fruit.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم made dua when the first fruit was brought.
- He asked for blessings in Medina, its fruits, mudd, and sa'.
