Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ زَبْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، مُسْلِمِ بْنِ مِشْكَمٍ عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ إِنَّا نُجَاوِرُ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ وَهُمْ يَطْبُخُونَ فِي قُدُورِهِمُ الْخِنْزِيرَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ فِي آنِيَتِهِمُ الْخَمْرَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِنْ وَجَدْتُمْ غَيْرَهَا فَكُلُوا فِيهَا وَاشْرَبُوا وَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا غَيْرَهَا فَارْحَضُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Nasr ibn ʿAsim narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Shuʿayb narrated to us: ʿAbd Allah ibn al-ʿAlaʾ ibn Zabr informed us, from Abu ʿUbayd Allah Muslim ibn Mishkam, from Abu Thaʿlabah al-Khushani, who asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: “We live near the People of the Book, who cook pork in their pots and drink intoxicants from their vessels.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “If you find other vessels, eat and drink from them. If you cannot find others, rinse those vessels with water, then eat and drink from them.”
