Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5544
This Hadith about Khamr is very direct. Jabir bin Abdullah says, “Unripe dates and dried dates are Khamr.” The narration does not give a long story or extra detail. It focuses on naming a drink or mixture connected with unripe dates and dried dates as Khamr. For readers searching for whether date-based drinks appear in Hadith under the word Khamr, this report gives a clear answer from the text. It also matches the nearby narrations that mention Fadikh and drinks made from dates. The key point is to read the wording carefully: the Hadith speaks about unripe dates and dried dates in relation to Khamr, and it keeps the focus on that named drink category.
