Sunan an-Nasa'i 5568
أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ الْعَبْدِيِّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُتَوَكِّلِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُخْلَطَ بُسْرٌ بِتَمْرٍ أَوْ زَبِيبٌ بِتَمْرٍ أَوْ زَبِيبٌ بِبُسْرٍ وَقَالَ " مَنْ شَرِبَهُ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَشْرَبْ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُ فَرْدًا تَمْرًا فَرْدًا أَوْ بُسْرًا فَرْدًا أَوْ زَبِيبًا فَرْدًا " .
Suwayd ibn Nasr reported to us; he said: ʿAbdullah informed us, from Ismaʿil ibn Muslim al-ʿAbdi, who said: Abu al-Mutawakkil narrated to us, from Abu Saʿid al-Khudri, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade mixing unripe dates with dried dates, raisins with dried dates, or raisins with unripe dates. He said: ‘Whoever among you drinks them should steep each kind separately: dried dates alone, unripe dates alone, or raisins alone.’
Translation notes
The report prohibits mixing fruit ingredients in a steeped drink; al-busr refers to unripe dates.
