Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو شِهَابٍ عَبْدُ رَبِّهِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْنَا الْخَمْرُ حِينَ حُرِّمَتْ وَمَا نَجِدُ ـ يَعْنِي بِالْمَدِينَةِ ـ خَمْرَ الأَعْنَابِ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً، وَعَامَّةُ خَمْرِنَا الْبُسْرُ وَالتَّمْرُ‏.‏

Translation

Aḥmad ibn Yūnus narrated to us: Abū Shihāb ʿAbd Rabbih ibn Nāfiʿ narrated to us, from Yūnus, from Thābit al-Bunānī, from Anas, who said: “When wine was forbidden to us, we could find only a little grape wine—in Medina, that is. Most of our wine was from unripe dates and ripe dates.”
