Chapter 330
Undesirability of Calling Grapes 'Al-Karm'

1740 - عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم : [ لا تسموا العنب الكرم فإن الكرم المسلم ] متفق عليه وهذا لفظ مسلم
وفي رواية : [ فإنما الكرم قلب المؤمن ]
وفي رواية للبخاري ومسلم [ يقولون الكرم إنما الكرم المؤمن ]
1740. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "None of you should use the word Al-Karm for grapes, for Al-Karm is a Muslim (worthy of respect).''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
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.''
Commentary: We learn from this Hadith that all the derivatives from the word Al-Karm can be used legitimately for Muslims only because Muslim is Karim. It is, therefore, wrong to call grapes as Karm.

1741 - وعن وائل بن حجر رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [ لا تقولوا الكرم ولكن قولوا العنب والحبلة ] رواه مسلم
[ الحبلة ] بفتح الحاء والباء ويقال أيضا بإسكان الباء
1741. Wa'il bin Hujr (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Do not say Al-Karm when talking about grapes but say Al-`Inab or Al-Habalah.''
[Muslim].
Commentary: Al-Habalah or Habilah means grapevine. It is undesirable (Makruh) to refer to the grapes as Al-Karm, which also means grapes in Arabic, for it is the true Muslim who deserves to be called with a name which is derived from the word Al-Karm.
