It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he was asked about this verse: "From it you take intoxicant and good provision." [Surah al-Nahl: 67] He said: "'Sakar' (intoxicant) means that of their fruits which has been made unlawful (that is, wine), and 'rizq hasan' (good provision) means that of their fruits which is lawful." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), and the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "Sons and hafadah." [Surah al-Nahl: 72] He said: "'Al-Hafadah' means sons-in-law." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.

It is narrated from Masruq; he said that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "We will increase them in punishment upon punishment." [Surah al-Nahl: 88] "Scorpions whose stings will be like tall date-palms." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.
