Prophet Muhammad was seen eating cucumber with fresh dates.Muslim #5072
In his work on Prophetic Medicine, the great scholar Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned the health benefits of cucumbers. He quoted the Prophetic Hadith relating that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) used to eat qiththa (cucumber) with rutab (fresh dates). [Tirmidhi At'ima 37]
Ibn al-Qayyim said the cucumber has the following health benefits:
Quenches thirst
Calms an inflamed stomach
Beneficial for pains of the bladder
Its seeds are diuretic
He also said that cucumbers should be eaten with something like dates, raisins or honey, as these will rectify its negative effects on the stomach.
Cucumber Facts
Cucumbers (Cucumis sativus) belong to the same family as watermelon, zucchini, pumpkin, and other types of squash. There are main two varieties of cucumber; those that are grown to be eaten fresh (slicing cucumbers), and those that are cultivated to make pickles, such as gherkins.
The flesh of the cucumber is composed of about 95% of water, but it also contains Vitamin C and Caffeic acid, which is a naturally occurring compound shown to be a cancer inhibitor. The skin of the cucumber is rich in fiber and contains a variety of beneficial minerals including silica, potassium and magnesium.
The silica in cucumber is an essential component of healthy connective tissue, which includes muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bone.
The high water content of cucumber makes it naturally hydrating, and cucumbers are commonly used for various types of skin problems, including swelling under the eyes and sunburn.
The two compounds present in cucumbers; abscorbic acid (Vitamin C) and caffeic acid, prevent water retention, which may explain why cucumbers applied topically are often helpful for swollen eyes, burns and dermatitis.
People who took part in the study DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), found that adding foods high in potassium, magnesium and fiber, such as cucumbers, reduced high blood pressure to healthier levels.
