Hadith 31-185

وَبِهذَا الإِسناد قالَ: قالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ: كُلُوا الَّتمرَ عَلَى الرِّيقِ فَإِنَّهُ يَقْتُلُ الدِّيدانَ فِي البَطنِ. قالَ مُصَنِّفُ هذا الْكِتابِ - رَحْمَةُ اللَّه -: يَعْنِي بِذلِكَ كُلِّ الَّتمُورَ إِلاّ البَرنِيَّ فَإِنَّ أَكلَهُ عَلَى الرِّيقِ يورِثُ الفالِجَ.

According to the same documentation, God’s Prophet (S) said, “Eat dates for breakfast as they will destroy worms in the stomach.” The author of this book (a.s.heikh Sadooq) - may God have Mercy upon him - said, “By this, the Prophet (S) means to eat dates other than a brand called ‘Barni’ as eating that brand will cause hemiplegia.
