Yes, according to historical accounts and hadith, Muhammad (peace be upon him) did eat figs.

The available evidence suggests that figs were part of Muhammad's regular diet, along with other fruits and vegetables common in the region. A hadith mentions that he consumed dates, figs, grapes, milk, honey, olive oil, vinegar, watermelon, barley, pumpkin, squash, and other available vegetables. While not every meal necessarily contained all of these items, the hadith illustrates the types of foods that were accessible and consumed during his time. The specific mention of figs demonstrates that he would have had access to them and likely consumed them, given their availability in the region.
