Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِسْطَامٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ تَخْلِطُوا الزَّبِيبَ وَالتَّمْرَ وَلاَ الْبُسْرَ وَالتَّمْرَ ".
Translation
ʿAmr ibn ʿAli reported to us, from Abu Dawud, who said: Bistam narrated to us; he said: Malik ibn Dinar narrated to us, from ʿAtaʾ, from Jabir, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘Do not mix raisins with dried dates, nor unripe dates with dried dates.’
Translation notes
The report concerns combining fruits together in a drink; al-busr refers to unripe dates.
