Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ نَهَى أَنْ يُنْبَذَ الزَّبِيبُ وَالْبُسْرُ جَمِيعًا وَنَهَى أَنْ يُنْبَذَ الْبُسْرُ وَالرُّطَبُ جَمِيعًا.
Translation
Qutaybah reported to us; he said: al-Layth narrated to us, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir, from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that he forbade steeping raisins together with unripe dates, and unripe dates together with fresh ripe dates.
Translation notes
The report prohibits steeping the fruits together to make a drink; al-busr and al-rutab denote stages of date ripeness.
