[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.
