حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرَّقَاشِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَلَى مَرِيضٍ يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ " أَتَشْتَهِي شَيْئًا أَتَشْتَهِي كَعْكًا " . قَالَ نَعَمْ . فَطَلَبُوا لَهُ .

Sufyan ibn Waki narrated to us; Abu Yahya al-Himmani narrated to us, from al-A‘mash, from Yazid al-Raqashi, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: ‘The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered upon a sick person to visit him and asked, “Do you desire anything? Do you desire ka‘k?” The man said, “Yes.” So they sought some for him.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
Ka‘k is retained as the food name; the Arabic does not identify it further.
