I was waiting on my uncles, serving them with an alcoholic drink prepared from dates, and I was the youngest of them. (Suddenly) it was said that alcoholic drinks had been prohibited. So they said (to me), 'Throw it away." And I threw it away The sub-narrator said: I asked Anas what their drink was (made from), He replied, "(From) ripe dates and unripe dates."

كُنْتُ قَائِمًا عَلَى الْحَىِّ أَسْقِيهِمْ عُمُومَتِي وَأَنَا أَصْغَرُهُمُ الْفَضِيخَ فَقِيلَ حُرِّمَتِ الْخَمْرُ فَقَالَ أَكْفِئْهَا فَكَفَأْنَا قُلْتُ لأَنَسٍ مَا شَرَابُهُمْ قَالَ رُطَبٌ وَبُسْرٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَنَسٍ وَكَانَتْ خَمْرَهُمْ فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ أَنَسٌ وَحَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِي أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ كَانَتْ خَمْرَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ

While I was waiting on my uncles and serving them with (wine prepared from) dates----and I was the youngest of them----it was said, "Alcoholic drinks have been prohibited." So they said (to me), "Throw it away." So I threw it away.

كُنْتُ قَائِمًا عَلَى الْحَىِّ أَسْقِيهِمْ عُمُومَتِي وَأَنَا أَصْغَرُهُمُ الْفَضِيخَ فَقِيلَ حُرِّمَتِ الْخَمْرُ فَقَالُوا أَكْفِئْهَا فَكَفَأْتُهَا قُلْتُ لأَنَسٍ مَا شَرَابُهُمْ قَالَ رُطَبٌ وَبُسْرٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَنَسٍ وَكَانَتْ خَمْرَهُمْ فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ أَنَسٌ وَحَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِي أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ كَانَتْ خَمْرَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ

I was standing amongst the uncles of my tribe serving them Fadikh while I was the youngest of them, when a person came and said: Verily the use of liqour has been prohibited. They said: Anas, spill it away. So I spilt it. He (one of the narrators. Sulaiman Taimi) said that he asked Anas what that was (the Fadikh). He said: It had been prepared from unripe and ripe dates. Abu Bakr b. Anas said: It was their liquor in those days. Sulaiman said: A person narrated it to me from Anas b. Malik that he had said so.

إِنِّي لَقَائِمٌ عَلَى الْحَىِّ عَلَى عُمُومَتِي أَسْقِيهِمْ مِنْ فَضِيخٍ لَهُمْ وَأَنَا أَصْغَرُهُمْ سِنًّا فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا قَدْ حُرِّمَتِ الْخَمْرُ فَقَالُوا اكْفَأْهَا يَا أَنَسُ فَكَفَأْتُهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَنَسٍ مَا هُوَ قَالَ بُسْرٌ وَرُطَبٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَنَسٍ كَانَتْ خَمْرَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ وَحَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا

"While I was taking care of a group of people, including my paternal uncles, and I was the youngest of them, a man came and said: 'Khamr has been forbidden.' I was taking care of them, and was pouring Fadikh (date-wine) for them. They said: 'Pour it away.' So I poured it away." I (the narrator) said to Anas: "What is that?" He said: "Unripe dates and dried dates." Abu Bakr bin Anas said: "That was their wine in those days." And Anas did not deny that.

بَيْنَا أَنَا قَائِمٌ عَلَى الْحَىِّ وَأَنَا أَصْغَرُهُمْ سِنًّا عَلَى عُمُومَتِي إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا قَدْ حُرِّمَتِ الْخَمْرُ وَأَنَا قَائِمٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَسْقِيهِمْ مِنْ فَضِيخٍ لَهُمْ فَقَالُوا اكْفَأْهَا فَكَفَأْتُهَا فَقُلْتُ لأَنَسٍ مَا هُوَ قَالَ الْبُسْرُ وَالتَّمْرُ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَنَسٍ كَانَتْ خَمْرُهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ أَنَسٌ

[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."

كُنْتُ قَائِمًا عَلَى الْحَيِّ أَسْقِيهِمْ مِنْ فَضِيخِ تَمْرٍ قَالَ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْخَمْرَ قَدْ حُرِّمَتْ قَالُوا أَكْفِئْهَا يَا أَنَسُ فَأَكْفَأْتُهَا قُلْتُ مَا كَانَ شَرَابُهُمْ؟ قَالَ الْبُسْرُ وَالرُّطَبُ وقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَنَسٍ كَانَتْ خَمْرَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَأَنَسٌ يَسْمَعُ فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْهُ وقَالَ بَعْضُ مَنْ كَانَ مَعَنَا قَالَ أَنَسٌ كَانَتْ خَمْرَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ

[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.
