Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ - عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ خَلِيطِ التَّمْرِ وَالزَّبِيبِ وَالْبُسْرِ وَالرُّطَبِ.
Translation
Yaʿqub ibn Ibrahim reported to us, from Yahya—namely, Ibn Saʿid—from Ibn Jurayj, who said: ʿAtaʾ informed me, from Jabir, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade combining dried dates with raisins, and unripe dates with fresh ripe dates.
Translation notes
The report concerns mixing these fruits together when preparing a drink; it distinguishes stages of date ripeness.
