باب لاَ يُقَالُ لِلْعِنَبِ الْكَرْمُ:Chapter: Do not call grapes “the noble one” (al-karm)
Hadith 2735
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ هُوَ: ابْنُ إِسْحَاق، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "لَا تَقُولُوا لِحَائِطِ الْعِنَبِ الْكَرْمُ، إِنَّمَا الْكَرْمُ الرَّجُلُ الْمُسْلِمُ".
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not call a vineyard 'karm', for 'karm' is a Muslim man."
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2734)
Calling grapes "karm" was prohibited because wine is made from them, and the Arabs used to call them "karm" because, in their view, drinking wine produced generosity and nobility.
To refute their notion, it was forbidden to call grapes by this name.
It was also explained that "karm" is actually the attribute of a Muslim, who is the embodiment of generosity.
And Allah knows best.
