أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ نَهَى أَنْ يُنْبَذَ الزَّبِيبُ وَالْبُسْرُ جَمِيعًا وَنَهَى أَنْ يُنْبَذَ الْبُسْرُ وَالرُّطَبُ جَمِيعًا.

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5562
This narration from Jabir focuses on two specific drink mixtures. The Messenger of Allah forbade soaking raisins and Al-Busr together, and also forbade soaking Al-Busr and ripe dates together. The Hadith is not speaking about every food mixture in general. It is about these named items when they are soaked together. That makes the message clear and easy to follow. For readers searching for a nabidh hadith or a hadith about raisins and busr, the teaching is to avoid the listed combinations and keep drink preparation simple. The wording points to separation, not mixing, for these particular fruits.
What we learn from this hadith
- Raisins and Al-Busr should not be soaked together.
- Al-Busr and ripe dates should not be soaked together.
- The narration teaches care with the exact combinations mentioned.
