'Abdullah ibn Ja'far said:
"The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) used to eat cucumbers with ripe dates.”
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْفَزَارِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، يَأْكُلُ الْقِثَّاءَ بِالرُّطَبِ.

Explanation
comments
Cucumber has a cold effect and dates have a hot one. By combining the two it becomes mild. From this hadith we gather that it is recommended that the effect (hot or cold) of things eaten should be taken into consideration. Cucumber is insipid and tasteless, and dates are sweet which results in the cucumber also tasting sweet.
