Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1077
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلاَنِيَةِ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ فَسَلَّمْتُ فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِي، ثُمَّ سَلَّمْتُ فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِي، ثُمَّ سَلَّمْتُ الثَّالِثَةَ فَرَفَعْتُ صَوْتِي وَقُلْتُ: السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الدَّارِ، فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِي، فَتَنَحَّيْتُ نَاحِيَةً فَقَعَدْتُ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيَّ غُلاَمٌ فَقَالَ: ادْخُلْ، فَدَخَلْتُ، فَقَالَ لِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ زِدْتَ لَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَكَ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الأَوْعِيَةِ، فَلَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ قَالَ: حَرَامٌ، حَتَّى سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْجَفِّ، فَقَالَ: حَرَامٌ. فَقَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: يُتَّخَذُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ إِدَمٌ، فَيُوكَأُ.

Abu al-Alaniya said: I came to Abu Said al-Khudri and greeted him, but he did not give me permission. I greeted him again, but he did not give me permission. I greeted him a third time, raising my voice and saying, “Peace be upon you, people of the house,” but he still did not give me permission. I moved aside and sat down. A young servant came out and said, “Enter.” I went in, and Abu Said said to me, “If you had added more, I would not have given you permission.” I asked him about the vessels, and he said of each one, “Forbidden,” until I asked him about al-jaff. He said, “Forbidden.” Muhammad said: Leather is fitted over its mouth and it is tied shut.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The vessel term الْجَفِّ and the final description are obscure; the translation preserves the term and renders the appended explanation literally.
حَتَّى سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْجَفِّ
The Arabic names al-jaff but does not explain it in the narrator’s question; the witness adds a specific identification.
Can al-jaff be identified confidently as a fermentation vessel, or should the transliteration be retained?
