Sahih MuslimHadith Number 2247a
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ، سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ يَسُبُّ أَحَدُكُمُ الدَّهْرَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الدَّهْرُ وَلاَ يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ لِلْعِنَبِ الْكَرْمَ . فَإِنَّ الْكَرْمَ الرَّجُلُ الْمُسْلِمُ " .
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: None of you should abuse Time for it is Allah Who is the Time, and none of you should call 'Inab (grape) as al-karm, for karm is a Muslim person.
[1] Karm is from Karuma ; to be noble, generous. They used to call grapes Karm because when a man became intoxicated from wine his inhibitions would weaken, and he would be more generous.Reference : Sahih Muslim 2247aIn-book reference : Book 40, Hadith 6USC-MSA web (English) reference : Book 27, Hadith 5585
