Mishkat al-Masabih 1807
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسلم فِي الْعَمَل: «فِي كُلِّ عَشْرَةِ أَزُقٍّ زِقٌّ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: فِي إِسْنَادِهِ مَقَالٌ وَلَا يَصِحُّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هَذَا الْبَاب كثير شَيْء
Ibn Umar said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said regarding honey: ‘For every ten skins, one skin is due.’ Al-Tirmidhi transmitted it and said: There is criticism of its chain, and little of anything in this chapter is soundly reported from the Prophet ﷺ.
Translation notes
The Arabic reads literally ‘in every ten azuq, one ziq’; the English witness interprets the units as skins of honey. Al-Tirmidhi’s qualification of the chain and other reports in this chapter is retained.
