“By the fig, and the olive, by Mount Sinai, and by this city of security [Makkah]” Qur’an 95: 1-3

At the time of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), figs were not common in the Arabian Peninusla, and thus they were not mentioned in the Sunnah except in a hadith with uncertain origin noted by Qutubi as reported by Abu Darda, saying that when the Prophet (pbuh) was offered a plate of figs, he ate and asked his Companions to eat, and said: “If a Fruit ever descended from Paradise, I would say that this is it, as heaven’s fruits contain no pips. Eat from it as it relieves hemorrhoids and treats gout.”
