5565. It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ forbade us to soak two things together when one is more potent than the other. I asked him about Fadîkh (a drink made from fresh dates cut open) and he forbade it. He disliked the extra bit on Al-Busr, fearing that that might make it two things, so we used to cut it off." (Sahîh)
5563 - أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ وِقَاءِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ، عَنْ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَجْمَعَ شَيْئَيْنِ نَبِيذًا يَبْغِي أَحَدُهُمَا عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ» قَالَ: وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْفَضِيخِ، فَنَهَانِي عَنْهُ، قَالَ: «كَانَ يَكْرَهُ الْمُذَنِّبَ مِنَ الْبُسْرِ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَكُونَا شَيْئَيْنِ، فَكُنَّا نَقْطَعُهُ»

1. Fadîkh: It was a beverage of the kind called Nabîdh, which was prepared from full-grown unripe dates without them being touched, i.e. boiled or heated in any degree. Since it used to be intoxicating, it was forbidden. 2. 'Which has ripened from one side': Ripe on one side, unripe on the other. So to state, such type of date is also a fruit consisting of two varieties. Unripe and fully ripe (fresh ripe dates). Therefore, the Nabîdh or beverage of this type of dates is also forbidden, except for when both the sides are separated, and the Nabîdh is made out of one portion, as has been described in the Tradition itself.
