Chapter: Do Not Call Grapes "Karm"
Al-Adab al-Mufrad 795 — Do Not Call Grapes "Karm"
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ”لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ: الْكَرْمَ، وَقُولُوا الْحَبَلَةَ“، يَعْنِي: الْعِنَبَ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wa'il bin Hujr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "None of you should ever say: 'Karam,' rather you should say 'Hablah,' meaning grapes."
Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:
The point is that do not call grapes "karm," rather refer to them as "hablah" or "‘inab." In one narration, it is stated that the true "karm" is the heart of the believer. (For further details, see Hadith 770)
