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. (Using translation from Muslim 1980c)
«كُنْتُ قَائِمًا عَلَى الْحَيِّ عُمُومَتِي أَسْقِيهِمْ مِنْ فَضِيخٍ لَهُمْ وَكُنْتُ أَصْغَرَهُمْ سِنًّا فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا قَدْ حُرِّمَتِ الْخَمْرُ قَالُوا يَا أَنَسُ اكْفَأْهَا قَالَ فَكَفَأْتُهَا» قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ فَقُلْتُ مَا كَانَتْ؟ قَالَ بُسْرًا وَرُطَبًا قَالَ وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَنَسٍ كَانَتْ خَمْرَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ
