Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا تَنْتَبِذُوا الرُّطَبَ وَالزَّهْوَ وَالتَّمْرَ وَالزَّبِيبَ جَمِيعًا وَانْتَبِذُوا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى حِدَتِهِ قَالَ يَحْيَى فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ فَأَخْبَرَنِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ بِذَلِكَ.
English Translation
Rawh narrated to us, Husayn al-Mu'allim narrated to us, Yahya - meaning Ibn Abi Kathir - narrated to us, from Abu Salamah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, from Abu Qatadah, that the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do not mix fresh dates and half-ripe dates, and (do not mix) dried dates and raisins together. Let each of you make nabidh from each one separately." Yahya said: I asked 'Abdullah ibn Abi Qatadah about that, and he informed me from his father about the same.
