The answer

It has been authentically reported that whoever eats seven ajwah dates from Medina every morning will not be harmed by poison or magic on that day, due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Whoever eats seven ajwah dates every morning will not be harmed by poison or magic on that day." The fact that it protects from poison and magic is due to the blessing of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) prayer for the dates of Medina, and not due to an inherent property of the date itself. This should be eaten in the morning, and the number of dates should be seven, and they must be from the ajwah dates of Medina.
