لَوْ قُلْتُ إِنَّ فَاكِهَةً نَزَلَتْ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ لَقُلْتُ هَذِهِ، لِأَنَّ فَاكِهَةَ الْجَنَّةِ بِلَا عَجَمٍ، فَكُلُوهَا فَإِنَّهَا تَقْطَعُ الْبَوَاسِيرَ وَتَنْفَعُ مِنَ النِّقْرِسِ

“If any fruit could be said to have descended from Paradise, it would be the fig, since paradise's fruit is seedless — eat it, for it helps with hemorrhoids and gout.” (meaning, not a literal translation)

Cited by al-Suyuti in al-Durr al-Manthur; widely reported but weakly attested chain Da'if (weak chain — included for its cultural prominence in the genre, not as authenticated Prophetic instruction)
