Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5571
This Hadith from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri gives a clear rule and repeats the separate method. The Prophet forbade soaking dried dates and raisins together, and dried dates and Al-Busr together. Then he said to soak raisins on their own, dried dates on their own, and Al-Busr on their own. The Hadith is useful because it does not leave the listener guessing. It tells us exactly which combinations are not to be joined and how to handle each ingredient instead. For people searching for a hadith about dates raisins and busr, the teaching is direct: keep each of these items separate in soaking.
What we learn from this hadith
- Dried dates and raisins should not be soaked together.
- Dried dates and Al-Busr should not be soaked together.
- Raisins, dried dates, and Al-Busr should each be soaked alone.
