Eat and apply olive oil

Question

Can this narration be quoted?

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“Eat olive/olive oil and use its oil for indeed it is a blessed tree”

This Hadith has been recorded in several Hadith collections with a few chains [mursalan and mawsulan]. Imam Hakim has declared one version authentic and Hafiz Dhahabi concurs.

The Hadith is suitable to quote.
