ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنْ أَنْ يُسَمِّي الْمَرْءُ الْعِنَبَ الْكَرْمَ

Do not say al-karm (for the word vine) but say al-habala (that is grape). (Using translation from Muslim 2248a)  

ابن حبّان:٥٨٣١أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْعَطَّارُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ سَمِعَ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَائِلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تَقُولُوا الْكَرْمُ وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا الْحَبَلَةُ أَوِ الْعِنَبُ»
