ذِكْرُ السُّكْرِ الَّذِي إِذَا تَوَلَّدَ مِنَ الشَّرَابِ الْكَثِيرِ حَرُمَ شُرْبُ قَلِيلِهِ

that when Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him and Muʿadh bin Jabal to Yemen, he said to them, "Facilitate things for the people (treat the people in the most agreeable way), and do not make things difficult for them, and give them glad tidings, and let them not have aversion (i.e. to make the people hate good deeds) and you should both work in cooperation and mutual understanding, obey each other." Abu Musa said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We are in a land in which a drink named Al Bit' is prepared from honey, and another drink named Al-Mizr is prepared from barley." On that, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "All intoxicants (i.e. all alcoholic drinks) are prohibited."  

لَمَّا بَعَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ قَالَ لَهُمَا يَسِّرَا وَلاَ تُعَسِّرَا وَبَشِّرَا وَلاَ تُنَفِّرَا وَتَطَاوَعَا قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا بِأَرْضٍ يُصْنَعُ فِيهَا شَرَابٌ مِنَ الْعَسَلِ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْبِتْعُ وَشَرَابٌ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمِزْرُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ  

Give good tidings to the (people). and make things easy (for them), teach (them), and do not repel (them) ; and I think he also said: Cooperate cheerfully with each other. When he (the Holy Prophet) turned his back, Abu Musa returned to him and said: Messenger of Allah, they (the people of Yemen) have a drink which is (made) from honey and which is prepared by cooking it until it coagulates, and Mizr is prepared from barley, whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Every intoxicant that detains you from prayer is forbidden.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَهُ وَمُعَاذًا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا بَشِّرَا وَيَسِّرَا وَعَلِّمَا وَلاَ تُنَفِّرَا وَأُرَاهُ قَالَ وَتَطَاوَعَا قَالَ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى رَجَعَ أَبُو مُوسَى فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لَهُمْ شَرَابًا مِنَ الْعَسَلِ يُطْبَخُ حَتَّى يَعْقِدَ وَالْمِزْرُ يُصْنَعُ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كُلُّ مَا أَسْكَرَ عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ
