[Machine] I was standing by the well watering them with a pitcher of dates. Then a man came and said, "Alcohol has been prohibited." They said, "Pour it out, Anas." So I poured it out. I asked, "What was their drink?" He said, "It was grape pulp and dates." Abu Bakr bin Anas said, "Their drink that day was grape pulp." Anas heard about it but did not object. Some of those who were with us said, "Anas said their drink that day was grape pulp."
