Consuming fresh dates from dry dates

Muhammad Ibne Yahya and Ahmad Ibne Muhammad have narrated from Muhammad Ibne Hasan from Qasim Nahdi from Ismail Ibne Mihran from Kunasi from Abu Abdullah (a) who said:
Once Hasan (a) went outside the town with a man from the children of Zubair who believed Hasan to be the Imam. They stopped for rest on one of the oasis under a palm tree that had dried up because of lack of water. A furnishing was spread for Imam Hasan (a) under that tree and for Zubairi the furnishings were arranged under a tree just next to it.
The narrator says that Zubairi looked up the tree and said, “It had fruits so we could eat from them.”
Hasan (a) asked, “Do you wish to have dates?”
He said, “Yes, I do wish to have dates.”
He (Hasan (a) raised his hands to the sky and spoke certain words that I did not understand. The tree turned green and then it returned to its normal condition and its leaves grew and it became loaded with dates.
The man from whom they had hired camels begun to say, “It by Allah, is magic.”
Hasan (a) said, Woe unto you. It is not magic; it is a prayer of the son of a prophet that is answered.”
They climbed the tree and picked the dates and it provided enough for their needs.”

On the way, one day at Johfa I headed for Ghadeer, which is at a distance of four miles from Johfa. I reached there and prayed in the Masjid and after that I supplicated Almighty Allah very fervently; but the aim was not fulfilled there also. So I went to Asfan and thus passing each stage in turn, reached Mecca. I stayed there for some days and was engrossed in Tawaf and other devotions. One night, when I was doing the Tawaf, I noticed an extremely handsome and fragrant young man walking about and doing the Tawaf of the Kaaba. Some feelings arose in my heart; I moved towards him and touched him. He asked: Where do you belong to? I said: Iraq. He asked: Where in Iraq? I said: ...
