Sunan an-Nasa'i 5569
أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُتَوَكِّلِ النَّاجِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى أَنْ يَخْلِطَ بُسْرًا بِتَمْرٍ أَوْ زَبِيبًا بِتَمْرٍ أَوْ زَبِيبًا بِبُسْرٍ وَقَالَ " مَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَشْرَبْ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُ فَرْدًا " . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا أَبُو الْمُتَوَكِّلِ اسْمُهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ دَاوُدَ .
Ahmad ibn Khalid informed me; he said: Shuʿayb ibn Harb narrated to us; he said: Ismaʿil ibn Muslim narrated to us; he said: Abu al-Mutawakkil al-Naji narrated to us; he said: Abu Saʿid al-Khudri told me that the Prophet, 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 drink each kind separately.’ Abu ʿAbd al-Rahman said: ‘Abu al-Mutawakkil’s name is ʿAli ibn Dawud.’
Translation notes
The report concerns fruit mixtures used for steeped drinks; al-busr refers to unripe dates.
