أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ إِنَّ نُوحًا صلى الله عليه وسلم نَازَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فِي عُودِ الْكَرْمِ فَقَالَ هَذَا لِي وَقَالَ هَذَا لِي فَاصْطَلَحَا عَلَى أَنَّ لِنُوحٍ ثُلُثَهَا وَلِلشَّيْطَانِ ثُلُثَيْهَا .
Anas b. Sirin Narrated from:
I heard Anas bin Malik say: 'The Shaitan disputed with Nuh, peace be upon him, concerning the grapevine. One said: This is for me," and the other said: "This is for me." Then they agreed that Nuh would have one-third and the Shaitan would have two-thirds.'"

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5726
This narration reports that Anas bin Malik spoke about Nuh, peace be upon him, and the Shaitan disputing over the grapevine. One said it was for him, and the other said it was for him. Then they agreed that Nuh would have one-third and the Shaitan would have two-thirds. The core topic is grapevine caution, and it connects with related narrations about grape drinks and reduction to one-third. The text itself is brief and symbolic in wording, so it should not be stretched beyond what it says. For people searching for a grapevine hadith, the direct message in the narration is the split between one-third and two-thirds.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration connects the grapevine with a one-third and two-thirds division.
- It should be read carefully without adding details not found in the text.
- The report fits the wider topic of caution around grape-based drinks.
