Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، عَنِ ابْنِ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَعَنِ الْبُسْرِ وَالتَّمْرِ أَنْ يُخْلَطَا وَعَنِ الزَّبِيبِ وَالتَّمْرِ أَنْ يُخْلَطَا وَكَتَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِ هَجَرَ ‏"‏ أَنْ لاَ تَخْلِطُوا الزَّبِيبَ وَالتَّمْرَ جَمِيعًا ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Wasil ibn ʿAbd al-Aʿla reported to us, from Ibn Fudayl, from Abu Ishaq, from Habib ibn Abi Thabit, from Saʿid ibn Jubayr, from Ibn ʿAbbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade the gourd vessel, the earthen jar, the pitch-coated vessel, and the hollowed palm-trunk vessel; he also forbade mixing unripe dates with dried dates, and raisins with dried dates. He wrote to the people of Hajar: ‘Do not mix raisins and dried dates together.’

Translation notes
  • The vessel names refer to traditional containers used to prepare drinks: a gourd, an earthen jar, a pitch-coated vessel, and a hollowed palm trunk.
