bayhaqi:17401Abū Zakariyyā b. Abū Isḥāq > Abū al-Ḥasan Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. ʿUbdūs > ʿUthmān b. Saʿīd > ʿAbdullāh b. Ṣāliḥ > Muʿāwiyah b. Ṣāliḥ > ʿAlī b. Abū Ṭalḥah

[Machine] In His saying, "{you take from it intoxication}" [An-Nahl 67], Allah prohibited intoxication after prohibiting alcohol because it is a form of it. He said, "{and good provision}" [An-Nahl 67], so it is permissible, such as vinegar, syrup, grape juice, and similar items. Allah affirmed it and made it permissible for Muslims. It has been narrated from Abu 'Ubaid that he said, "Intoxication is the soaking of dates." This is also indicated by the narration of Ibn Abi Talha from Ibn Abbas, which shows that it is included in the prohibition when alcohol was prohibited because it is a form of it.
