74. Drinks
٧٤۔ كتاب الأشربة
I was serving Abu 'Ubaida, Abu Talha and Ubai bin Kaʿb with a drink prepared from ripe and unripe dates. Then somebody came to them and said, "Alcoholic drinks have been prohibited." (On hearing that) Abu Talha said, "Get up. O Anas, and pour (throw) it out! So I poured (threw) it out.
أَبُو طَلْحَةَ قُمْ يَا أَنَسُ فَأَهْرِقْهَا فَأَهْرَقْتُهَا
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
Alcoholic drinks were prohibited. At that time these drinks used to be prepared from unripe and ripe dates.
أَنَّ الْخَمْرَ حُرِّمَتْ وَالْخَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْبُسْرُ وَالتَّمْرُ
