Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1985b
This hadith about wine gives a short but clear teaching. The wording says that wine comes from two trees: the date-palm and the grapevine. The message is simple: a drink may be linked to familiar fruits, yet it can still become wine. That makes the Hadith useful for people searching for Islamic guidance on wine, intoxicating drinks, dates, and grapes. The narration does not list every drink or give a long rule; it points to these two known sources. A reader should take the wording as it stands: the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم connected wine with the date-palm and the grapevine. The focus is care, awareness, and respect for the limits mentioned in the Hadith.

- Familiar fruits can be connected to a drink that needs care.
