Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ حُرِّمَتِ الْخَمْرُ حِينَ حُرِّمَتْ وَإِنَّهُ لَشَرَابُهُمُ الْبُسْرُ وَالتَّمْرُ‏.‏

Translation

Suwayd ibn Nasr reported to us; he said: ʿAbdullah informed us, from Humayd al-Tawil, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: When wine was forbidden, their drink was made from unripe and dried dates.
