The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do not say Al-Karm when talking about grapes but say Al-'Inab or Al-Habalah." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعن وائل بن حجر رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
لا تقولوا: الكَرْم، ولكن قولوا: العنب، والحَبَْلة

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) It is disliked to use the word Karm to refer to grapes, for the Muslim is more worthy of this name.<br>
2) It shows how the Shariah is keen on correcting common mistakes in people’s speech and promoting the use of the right words instead. This is one of the good aspects of the Islamic legislation.
