وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" لاَ تَقُولُوا الْكَرْمُ .
وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا الْعِنَبُ وَالْحَبَلَةُ " .
This hadith has been reported by Alqama b. Wa’il on the authority of his father with a different chain of transmitters and with a slight variation of wording.
