[Machine] Did you not verify these hadiths? I said the hadiths are reported as they were, but whoever permitted intoxication did not permit pleasure, and whoever permitted pleasure did not permit singing and intoxication. And no scholar is free from error, and whoever gathers the errors of scholars and adopts them, his religion will be lost. So Al-Mu'tadid commanded that the book be burned.  

البيهقي:٢٠٩٢١أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْوَلِيدِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْعَبَّاسِ بْنَ سُرَيْجٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ الْقَاضِي يَقُولُ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى الْمُعْتَضِدِ فَدَفَعَ إِلِيَّ كِتَابًا نَظَرْتُ فِيهِ وَكَانَ قَدْ جَمَعَ لَهُ الرُّخَصَ مِنْ زَلَلِ الْعُلَمَاءِ وَمَا احْتَجَّ بِهِ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ لِنَفْسِهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مُصَنِّفُ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ زِنْدِيقٌ فَقَالَ

أَلَمْ تَصِحَّ هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثُ؟ قُلْتُ الْأَحَادِيثُ عَلَى مَا رُوِيَتْ وَلَكِنَّ مَنْ أَبَاحَ الْمُسْكِرَ لَمْ يُبِحِ الْمُتْعَةَ وَمَنْ أَبَاحَ الْمُتْعَةَ لَمْ يُبِحِ الْغِنَاءَ وَالْمُسْكِرَ وَمَا مِنْ عَالِمٍ إِلَّا وَلَهُ زَلَّةٌ وَمَنْ جَمَعَ زَلَلَ الْعُلَمَاءِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهَا ذَهَبَ دِينُهُ فَأَمَرَ الْمُعْتَضِدُ فَأُحْرِقَ ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُ
