أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُخْلَطَ الْبُسْرُ وَالزَّبِيبُ وَالْبُسْرُ وَالتَّمْرُ وَقَالَ " انْبِذُوا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا عَلَى حِدَةٍ " .
Suwayd ibn Nasr reported to us; he said: ʿAbdullah informed us, from ʿIkrimah ibn ʿAmmar, who said: Abu Kathir narrated to us; he said: I heard Abu Hurayrah say: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade mixing unripe dates with raisins, or unripe dates with dried dates. He said: ‘Steep each kind separately.’
Translation notes
The report concerns steeping fruits to make a drink; al-busr refers to unripe dates.
