Is eating seven dates for suhur specific to the dates of Madinah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it specific to the dates of Madinah, O Shaykh?

Answer:
This is the apparent meaning of the hadith, and it is hoped that it applies to other types of dates as well; because in some narrations it says:
of datesمن تمر
, and in some narrations it says:
He who has a morning meal of sevenمَن تصبَّح سبع تمرات من تمرٍ
Sunan Abi Dawud 3876Sahih (Al-Albani)
, so it encompasses all dates; because the narration of
from the 'ajwah of Madinahمن عجوة المدينة
, and
from what is between its two banksمما بين لابتيها
indicates specificity, and that this is more preferred than others and closer to the requirement than others.
