وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانٌ الْعَطَّارُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ خَلِيطِ التَّمْرِ وَالْبُسْرِ وَعَنْ خَلِيطِ الزَّبِيبِ وَالتَّمْرِ وَعَنْ خَلِيطِ الزَّهْوِ وَالرُّطَبِ وَقَالَ " انْتَبِذُوا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى حِدَتِهِ " .
'Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah Narrated from:
Abdullah b. Abu Qatada, on the authority of his father, reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) forbidding the preparation of the mixture of ripe dates and unripe dates, and the mixture of grapes and dates, and that of nearly ripe dates and fresh dates but the Prophet said: Prepare the Nabidh from each one of them separately.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1988e
This hadith about Nabidh gives a wider list of named mixtures. Abdullah b. Abu Qatada reports from his father that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم forbade the mixture of ripe dates and unripe dates, grapes and dates, and nearly ripe dates and fresh dates. Then the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said to prepare Nabidh from each one separately. This is a strong match for searches like Prophet forbade mixing dates and grapes, Nabidh mixture hadith, and prepare Nabidh separately. The teaching is still very exact: the text names the pairs, then gives the separate method. It does not ask the reader to add new pairs. It teaches care in drink preparation by keeping the named ingredients apart.
What we learn from this hadith

- Grapes and dates are named as a forbidden mixture for Nabidh.
- Nearly ripe dates and fresh dates are named as a forbidden mixture for Nabidh.
