Hadith 14:71
Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Ibn Numayr narrated to us, he said: Hisham narrated to us, from his father, from Aisha: That the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to have children brought to him, so he would invoke blessings upon them and perform *tahnik* (chewing a date and rubbing it on the palate) for them.
حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا بن نمير قال حدثنا هشام عن أبيه عن عائشة أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يؤتى بالصبيان فيبرك عليهم ويحنكهم
