57. Drinks
٥٧۔ كِتَابُ الْأَشْرِبَةِ وَالْحَدُّ فِيهَا
[Machine] The prohibition of alcohol was revealed, and it is one of five things.
نَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُ الْخَمْرِ وَهِيَ مِنْ خَمْسٍ
[Machine] Umar stood as a preacher on the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and praised Allah and spoke highly of him. Then he said: "As for what follows, the prohibition of alcohol was revealed on the day it was revealed, and it is made from five things: grapes, dates, honey, wheat, and barley, and wine is what clouds the mind."
قَامَ عُمَرُ ؓ خَطِيبًا عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ الْخَمْرَ نَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُهَا يَوْمَ نَزَلَ وَهِيَ مِنْ خَمْسَةٍ مِنَ الْعِنَبِ وَالتَّمْرِ وَالْعَسَلِ وَالْحِنْطَةِ وَالشَّعِيرِ وَالْخَمْرُ مَا خَامَرَ الْعَقْلَ.
[Machine] He stood as a preacher on the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , and praised and glorified Allah for a while, then he said: "Afterwards, surely, alcohol was prohibited on the day it was revealed. It is made from five things: grapes, dates, barley, wheat, and honey. And alcohol is that which intoxicates the mind. O people! I wish that the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , had not left us until he had given us a clear instruction about it. It is prohibited because of its being a source of disputes, idle talk, and a gateway to usurious transactions. I said: What do you think about the sixth one that is made from rice? If an ignorant person claims that a man has taken a sip from it and it caused his death, is it made from rice? He said: This was not during the time of the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , and if it was, he would have prohibited it. Don't you see that he has declared all intoxicants to be forbidden? He said: Alcohol is that which intoxicates the mind. Abu Bakr said that this confirms that the saying 'alcohol is that which intoxicates the mind' is the saying of the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ .
أَنَّهُ قَامَ خَطِيبًا عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَلَا وَإِنَّ الْخَمْرَ نَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُهَا يَوْمَ نَزَلَ وَهِيَ مِنْ خَمْسَةٍ مِنَ الْعِنَبِ وَالتَّمْرِ وَالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرِ وَالْعَسَلِ وَالْخَمْرُ مَا خَامَرَ الْعَقْلَ وَثَلَاثٌ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ وَدِدْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يُفَارِقْنَا حَتَّى يَعْهَدَ إِلَيْنَا فِيهَا عَهِدَ انْتُهِيَ إِلَيْهِ الْجَدُّ وَالْكَلَالَةُ وَأَبْوَابٌ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الرِّبَا فَقُلْتُ مَا تَرَى فِي السَّادِسَةِ تُصْنَعُ بِالسِّنْدِ يَدَّعِي الْجَاهِلُ يَشْرَبُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُ شَرْبَةً فَتَصْرَعُهُ يُصْنَعُ مِنَ الْأَرْزِ؟ قَالَ لَمْ يَكُنْ هَذَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَوْ كَانَ لَنَهَى عَنْهُ أَلَا تَرَى أَنَّهُ قَدْ عَمَّ الْأَشْرِبَةَ كُلَّهَا فَقَالَ الْخَمْرُ مَا خَامَرَ الْعَقْلَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِيهِ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّ قَوْلَهُ وَالْخَمْرُ مَا خَامَرَ الْعَقْلُ مِنْ قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ
The Prophet ﷺ said: from grapes wine is made, from dried dates wine is made, from honey wine is made, from wheat wine is made, from barley wine is made. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3676)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ مِنَ التَّمْرِ خَمْرًا وَإِنَّ مِنَ الزَّبِيبِ خَمْرًا وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْبُرِّ خَمْرًا وَإِنَّ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ خَمْرًا وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْعَسَلِ خَمْرًا
I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Wine is made from grape-syrup, raisins, dried dates, wheat, barley, millet, and I forbid you from every intoxicant. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3677)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْخَمْرَ مِنَ الْعَصِيرِ وَالزَّبِيبِ وَالتَّمْرِ وَالْحِنْطَةِ وَالشَّعِيرِ وَالذُّرَةِ وَإِنِّي أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ كُلِّ مُسْكِرٍ وَكَذَلِكَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "Alcohol is from these two trees: the date palm and the grapevine." And Abu Ali al-Ruthbari informed us, narrating from Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Mahrawayh ibn Abbas al-Razi, narrating from Abu Hatim al-Razi, narrating from Ubaidullah ibn Musa, who reported from al-Awza'i, who mentioned it similarly except that he said: "Regarding..."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْخَمْرُ مِنْ هَاتَيْنِ الشَّجَرَتَيْنِ النَّخْلَةِ وَالْعِنَبَةِ 17351 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَهْرَوَيْهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ الرَّازِيُّ ثنا أَبُو حَاتِمٍ الرَّازِيُّ ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى أنبأ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمِثْلِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ عَنْ
[Machine] I was standing among them, giving them water to drink on that day. A man entered upon them and said, "Do you not know that alcohol has been forbidden?" They said, "O Anas, pour it out." So I poured it out, and I swear by Allah, they did not consume it again until they met Allah. I asked, "What was their drink then?" He said, "It was vinegar and dates." Abu Bakr bin Anas and Anas were present in the gathering, and Anas did not deny that.
كُنْتُ قَائِمًا عَلَى عُمُومَتِي أَسْقِيهِمْ وَهُمْ يَشْرَبُونَ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَرَابًا لَهُمْ إِذْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَلَا هَلْ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنَّ الْخَمْرَ قَدْ حُرِّمَتْ؟ قَالُوا يَا أَنَسُ اكْفَأْهَا فَأَكْفَأْتُهَا فَوَاللهِ مَا عَادُوا فِيهَا حَتَّى لَقُوا اللهَ ﷻ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ وَمَا كَانَ شَرَابُهُمْ؟ قَالَ الْبُسْرُ وَالتَّمْرُ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَنَسٍ وَأَنَسٌ فِي الْحَلْقَةِ كَانَتْ خَمْرُهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَمَا أَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ أَنَسٌ
عَنْ مُعْتَمِرٍ
(The same Hadith as 6.556, adding): which I missed (modifying the Verses). (Using translation from Bukhārī 5037b)
عَنْ هِشَامٍ
"Alcoholic drinks were prohibited at the time we could rarely find wine made from grapes in Medina, for most of our liquors were made from unripe and ripe dates. (Using translation from Bukhārī 5580)
حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْنَا الْخَمْرُ حِينَ حُرِّمَتْ وَمَا نَجِدُ خُمُورَ الْأَعْنَابِ إِلَّا الْقَلِيلَ وَعَامَّةُ خَمْرِهِمُ الْبُسْرُ وَالتَّمْرُ
[Machine] Alcohol and everything related to it have been prohibited, meaning that there was no wine grape alcohol in Madinah when it was prohibited.
لَقَدْ حُرِّمَتِ الْخَمْرُ وَمَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ يَعْنِي لَمْ يَكُنْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ خَمْرُ الْعِنَبِ حِينَ حُرِّمَتْ
(The Verse of) prohibiting alcoholic drinks was revealed when there were in Medina five kinds of (alcoholic) drinks none of which was produced from grapes. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4616)
نَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُ الْخَمْرِ وَإِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَخَمْسَةُ أَشْرِبَةٍ مَا فِيهَا شَرَابُ الْعِنَبِ
[Machine] Aisha said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about gambling, and he said, "Every intoxicant is forbidden."
عَائِشَةَ تَقُولُ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْبِتْعِ فَقَالَ كُلُّ شَرَابٍ أَسْكَرَ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about alcohol, so he said: "Every intoxicating drink is forbidden, and betel is honey wine."
سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْبِتْعِ فَقَالَ كُلُّ شَرَابٍ أَسْكَرَ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ وَالْبِتْعُ نَبِيذُ الْعَسَلِ
[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have a drink known as 'Bit'u' and 'Mizr' made from corn and barley. What do you command us regarding them?" He said, "It is forbidden for you to consume any alcoholic drink."
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ عِنْدَنَا أَشْرِبَةً أَوْ شَرَابًا هَذَا الْبِتْعُ وَالْمِزْرُ مِنَ الذُّرَةِ وَالشَّعِيرِ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا فِيهِمَا؟ فَقَالَ أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ كُلِّ مُسْكِرٍ
[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, we make a drink from honey called al-Bit' and a drink from barley called al-Mizr, and they both intoxicate." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Every intoxicant is forbidden." Both of these were mentioned in an authentic narration by Shu'bah, and Bukhari mentioned it through the narration of Abu Dawud al-Tayalisi.
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ يُصْنَعُ عِنْدَنَا شَرَابٌ مِنَ الْعَسَلِ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْبِتْعُ وَشَرَابٌ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمِزْرُ وَهُمَا يُسْكِرَانِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ وَاسْتَشْهَدَ الْبُخَارِيُّ بِرِوَايَةِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيِّ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ sent me and Muadh to Yemen and said, "Go and call people to Islam, make it easy for them and do not make it difficult. Give glad tidings and do not create aversion." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, inform me about two drinks that we used to prepare in Yemen: one made from honey and we would leave it until it became strong, and the other made from corn, barley, and dates, and we would leave it until it became strong." The Prophet ﷺ had been given comprehensive knowledge and wisdom and he said, "I prohibit every intoxicating drink from prayer." So we set off.
بَعَثَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَمُعَاذًا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ انْطَلِقَا فَادْعُوَا النَّاسَ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَيَسِّرَا وَلَا تُعَسِّرَا وَبَشِّرَا وَلَا تُنَفِّرَا قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَفْتِنَا فِي شَرَابَيْنِ كُنَّا نَصْنَعُهُمَا بِالْيَمَنِ الْبِتْعُ مِنَ الْعَسَلِ نَنْبِذُهُ حَتَّى يَشْتَدَّ وَالْمِزْرُ مِنَ الْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرِ وَالذُّرَةِ نَنْبِذُهُ حَتَّى يَشْتَدَّ قَالَ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ جَوَامِعَ الْكَلِمِ وَخَوَاتِمَهُ وَقَالَ أُحَرِّمُ كُلَّ مُسْكِرٍ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْنَا
Yes. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Every intoxicant is forbidden. Verily Allah the Exalted and Majestic, made a covenant to those who drank intoxicants to make their drink Tinat al-Khabal. They said: Messenger of Allah, what is Tinat a]-Khabal? He said: It is the sweat of the denizens of Hell or the discharge of the denizens of Hell. (Using translation from Muslim 2002)
أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَدِمَ مِنْ جَيْشَانَ وَجَيْشَانُ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ فَسَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ شَرَابٍ يَشْرَبُونَهُ بِأَرْضِهِمْ مِنَ الذُّرَةِ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمِزْرُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَوَمُسْكِرٌ هُوَ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ وَإِنَّ اللهَ عَهِدَ لِمَنْ يَشْرَبُ الْمُسْكِرَ أَنْ يَسْقِيَهُ مِنْ طِينَةِ الْخَبَالِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا طِينَةُ الْخَبَالِ؟ قَالَ عَرَقُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ أَوْ عُصَارَةُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ recited a verse while he was on the pulpit mentioning wine. Abu Wahb al-Jayshani stood up and asked him about "al-Mizr." He asked, "What is al-Mizr?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is something made from grains." Then, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Every intoxicant is prohibited," repeating it three times. This is how the message came.
تَلَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَعْنِي آيَةً ذَكَرَ فِيهَا الْخَمْرَ قَالَ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو وَهْبٍ الْجَيْشَانِيُّ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْمِزْرِ قَالَ وَمَا الْمِزْرُ؟ قَالَ شَيْءٌ يُصْنَعُ مِنَ الْحَبِّ قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ هَكَذَا جَاءَ مُرْسَلًا
[Machine] I asked the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we live in a cold land where we engage in strenuous work. We take a drink made from this wheat to fortify ourselves for our work and against the cold of our land." He asked, "Does it cause intoxication?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Then avoid it." Then I approached him again and said the same thing. He asked, "Does it cause intoxication?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Then avoid it." Then I said, "But people cannot give it up." He said, "If they do not give it up, then kill them." And so on.
سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا بِأَرْضٍ بَارِدَةٍ نُعَالِجُ بِهَا عَمَلًا شَدِيدًا وَإِنَّا نَتَّخِذُ شَرَابًا مِنْ هَذَا الْقَمْحِ نَتَقَوَّى بِهِ عَلَى أَعْمَالِنَا وَعَلَى بَرْدِ بِلَادِنَا قَالَ هَلْ يُسْكِرُ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ هَلْ يُسْكِرُ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ غَيْرُ تَارِكِيهِ قَالَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَتْرُكُوهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ وَكَذَلِكَ
[Machine] He said, "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we are in a cold land with intense cold, and we make a drink from wheat. Is it permissible, O Prophet of Allah?' He said, 'Isn't it intoxicating?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Then indeed it is prohibited.'"
أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا بِأَرْضٍ بَارِدَةٍ شَدِيدَةِ الْبَرْدِ نَصْنَعُ بِهَا شَرَابًا مِنَ الْقَمْحِ أَفَيَحِلُّ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَ بِمُسْكِرٍ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ حَرَامٌ
[Machine] About Umm Habiba, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , it is narrated that some people from the people of Yemen came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He taught them the prayer, the sunnah (recommended actions), and the obligatory acts of worship. Then they said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have a drink that we make from wheat and barley." Al-Ghubayraa' (a companion of the Prophet) asked them, "Do you feed it to your camels?" They replied, "Yes." He said, "Do not feed it to them." Two days later, they mentioned it to him again, and he asked them the same question, and they gave the same answer. He again said, "Do not feed it to them." Then, when they were about to depart, they asked him again about it, and he asked them the same question, to which they once again replied in the affirmative. He then said, "Do not feed it to them."
عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَلَّمَهُمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَالسُّنَنَ وَالْفَرَائِضَ ثُمَّ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ لَنَا شَرَابًا نَصْنَعُهُ مِنَ الْقَمْحِ وَالشَّعِيرِ فَقَالَ الْغُبَيْرَاءُ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ لَا تَطْعَمُوهُ ثُمَّ لَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ يَوْمَيْنِ ذَكَرُوهُ لَهُ أَيْضًا فَقَالَ الْغُبَيْرَاءُ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ لَا تَطْعَمُوهُ ثُمَّ لَمَّا أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَنْطَلِقُوا سَأَلُوهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ الْغُبَيْرَاءُ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ لَا تَطْعَمُوهُ
"I said to 'Ali: 'Forbid to us that which the Messenger of Allah [SAW] forbade to you.' He said: 'He forbade me from Ad-Dubba', Al-Hantam, gold circles (rings), wearing silk, and Al-Qassi, and red Al-Mitharah.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5169)
انْهَنَا عَمَّا نَهَاكَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْجِعَةِ وَحَلْقَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَلُبْسِ الْحَرِيرِ وَالْقَسِّيِّ وَالْمِيثَرَةِ الْحَمْرَاءِ لَيْسَ فِي حَدِيثِ ابْنِ خُشَيْشٍ النَّقِيرُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade drinking alcohol, and alcohol is a beverage made from barley that intoxicates.
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْجِعَةِ وَالْجِعَةُ شَرَابٌ يُصْنَعُ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ حَتَّى يُسْكِرَ
