وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِبَاكُورَةِ الْفَاكِهَةِ وَضَعَهَا عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ وَعَلَى شَفَتَيْهِ وَقَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ كَمَا أَرَيْتَنَا أَوَّلَهُ فَأَرِنَا آخِرَهُ» ثُمَّ يُعْطِيهَا مَنْ يَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ مِنَ الصِّبْيَانِ. رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيّ فِي الدَّعْوَات الْكَبِير

Abu Hurairah reported: When the first fruits of the season were brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he would place them on his eyes and lips and say, “O Allah, as You have shown us its beginning, show us its end.” Then he would give them to whichever children were present. Al-Bayhaqi narrated it in al-Dawaat al-Kabir.
