أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ، - هُوَ ابْنُ طَهْمَانَ - عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُخْلَطَ التَّمْرُ وَالزَّبِيبُ وَأَنْ يُخْلَطَ الزَّهْوُ وَالتَّمْرُ وَالزَّهْوُ وَالْبُسْرُ.

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5553
This Hadith about forbidden drink mixtures gives a wider list than some of the nearby reports. Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri says the Messenger of Allah forbade mixing dried dates and raisins, mixing Az-Zahuw and dried dates, and mixing Az-Zahuw and Al-Busr. The narration is useful because it names three separate combinations in one report. For someone searching for a hadith about date and raisin mixtures, this is a direct source. It also adds Az-Zahuw with dried dates and Az-Zahuw with Al-Busr. The explanation should remain simple: the Hadith lists these mixtures as forbidden. It teaches careful attention to each named pair rather than mixing the details together loosely.
