Sahih (Al-Albani)
حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ، قَالَ‏:‏ أَخْبَرَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ‏:‏ كَانَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَتَبَادَحُونَ بِالْبِطِّيخِ، فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْحَقَائِقُ كَانُوا هُمُ الرِّجَالَ‏.‏
Bakr ibn 'Abdullah reported that the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) used to throw melons at one another. He said, "If these were real, they would be men."
