Sunan an-Nasa'i 5561
أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ تَنْبِذُوا الزَّهْوَ وَالرُّطَبَ وَلاَ تَنْبِذُوا الرُّطَبَ وَالزَّبِيبَ جَمِيعًا ".
Suwayd ibn Nasr reported to us; he said: ʿAbdullah informed us, from Hisham, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from ʿAbdullah ibn Abi Qatadah, from his father, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: ‘Do not steep dates just beginning to ripen with fresh ripe dates, nor fresh ripe dates with raisins.’
Translation notes
The report prohibits steeping these fruits together to make a drink; it distinguishes stages of date ripeness.
