Hadith 330

The Book of the Prohibited actions

ENGLISH

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "None of you should use the word Al-Karm for grapes, for Al-Karm is a Muslim (worthy of respect)." <b>[Al- Bukhari and Muslim]</b> Another narration is: "Verily, Al-Karm is the heart of a true believer." Another narration is: "People have named grapes as Al-Karm; verily, only the heart of a believer is Al-Karm."
