Narrated by Abu Nu-Aim on the authority of Hazrat Abdullah Bin Abbas, that Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam said :

“كُلُوا الهِندَبَاءَ ولا تَنْفُضُوهُ فإنه ليس  يومٌ مِنَ الأيام إلا وقَطَراتٌ من الجَنَّةِ تَقْطُر عليه”

 “Use Hindaba & do not clean it, because everyday, drops from Jannah (paradise) fall on Hindaba’s leaves”.
