أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كَثِيرٍ، ح وَأَنْبَأَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " الْخَمْرُ مِنْ هَاتَيْنِ " . وَقَالَ سُوَيْدٌ فِي هَاتَيْنِ الشَّجَرَتَيْنِ النَّخْلَةُ وَالْعِنَبَةُ .
Suwayd ibn Nasr reported to us; he said: ʿAbdullah informed us, from al-Awzaʿi, who said: Abu Kathir narrated to me. And Humayd ibn Masʿadah reported to us, from Sufyan ibn Habib, from al-Awzaʿi, who said: Abu Kathir narrated to us; he said: I heard Abu Hurayrah say: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘Khamr comes from these two.’ Suwayd added: ‘These two trees are the date palm and the grapevine.’
Translation notes
Khamr refers here to an intoxicating drink; the transmitted explanation identifies the two plants as the date palm and grapevine.
