330. Chapter: On it being disliked to call the grape the vine (karm)

1740. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Do not call the grape the vine (karm). The karm is the Muslim." [Agreed upon]

In one variant, "The karm is the heart of the believer."
