9. Book of Drinks
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْأَشْرِبَةِ
Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about Bit'i, whereupon he said: Every drink that causes intoxication is forbidden. (Using translation from Muslim 2001a)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْبِتْعِ قَالَ «كُلُّ شَرَابٍ أَسْكَرَ حَرَامٌ»
[Machine] The following is the English translation: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me and Mu'adh bin Jabal to Yemen, and he said, "Drink, but do not drink intoxicants, for every intoxicant is forbidden."
بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَا وَمُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ «اشْرَبُوا وَلَا تَشْرَبُوا مُسْكِرًا فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ»
“Whatever causes intoxication in large amounts, a small amount of it is (also) unlawful.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3393)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ قَلِيلِ مَا أَسْكَرَ كَثِيرُهُ»
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Indeed, the first thing that will be forbidden is said to be Zaid, meaning in Islam just like a container is forbidden, meaning alcohol. So it was said, 'How so, O Messenger of Allah, when Allah has clearly stated what is haram in it?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'They will give it a different name and make it permissible.'"
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا يُكْفَأُ قَالَ زَيْدٌ يَعْنِي في الْإِسْلَامَ كَمَا يُكْفَأُ الْإِنَاءُ يَعْنِي الْخَمْرَ فَقِيلَ كَيْفَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَقَدْ بَيَّنَ اللَّهُ فِيهَا مَا بَيَّنَ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُسَمُّونَهَا بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهَا فَيَسْتَحِلُّونَهَا»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The first of your religion is prophethood and mercy, then kingship and mercy, then harsh kingship. Then comes a time of mercy and harshness, wherein wine and silk are permissible." Abu Muhammad was asked about "a'far" and he said: "It is likened to dust, and there is no good in it."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَوَّلُ دِينِكُمْ نُبُوَّةٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ ثُمَّ مُلْكٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ ثُمَّ مُلْكٌ أَعْفَرُ ثُمَّ مُلْكٌ وَجَبَرُوتٌ يُسْتَحَلُّ فِيهَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْحَرِيرُ» قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد سُئِلَ عَنْ أَعْفَرَ فقال يُشَبِّهُهُ بالتُّرَابِ ولَيْسَ فِيهِ خَيْرٌ
