Sunan an-Nasa'i 5550
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أَرْطَاةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الزَّهْوِ وَالتَّمْرِ وَالزَّبِيبِ وَالتَّمْرِ.
Al-Husayn ibn Mansur ibn Jaʿfar reported to us; he said: ʿAbdullah ibn Numayr narrated to us; he said: al-Aʿmash narrated to us, from Habib, from Abu Artah, from Abu Saʿid al-Khudri, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade mixing dates just beginning to ripen with dried dates, and raisins with dried dates.
Translation notes
The report prohibits combining these fruits in a drink vessel; al-zahw refers to dates at an early ripening stage.
