Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me and Mu'adh to Yemen saying: Call people (to the path of righteousness) and give good tidings to the (people), and do not repel them, make things easy for them and do not make things difficult. I (Burda) said: Messenger of Allah, give us a religious verdict about two kinds of drinks which we prepare in Yemen. One is Bit' which is prepared from honey; it is a fermented Nabidh and is strong and turns into wine, and (the second is) Mizr which is prepared from millet and barley. Thereupon, Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who had been gifted with the most eloquent and pithy expressions, said: I forbid you from every intoxicant that keeps you away from prayer.  

مسلم:١٧٣٣gوَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمُعَاذًا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ ادْعُوَا النَّاسَ وَبَشِّرَا وَلاَ تُنَفِّرَا وَيَسِّرَا وَلاَ تُعَسِّرَا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفْتِنَا فِي شَرَابَيْنِ كُنَّا نَصْنَعُهُمَا بِالْيَمَنِ الْبِتْعُ وَهُوَ مِنَ الْعَسَلِ يُنْبَذُ حَتَّى يَشْتَدَّ وَالْمِزْرُ وَهُوَ مِنَ الذُّرَةِ وَالشَّعِيرِ يُنْبَذُ حَتَّى يَشْتَدَّ قَالَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ جَوَامِعَ الْكَلِمِ بِخَوَاتِمِهِ فَقَالَ أَنْهَى عَنْ كُلِّ مُسْكِرٍ أَسْكَرَ عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ sent me and Muadh to Yemen and said, "Go and call people to Islam, make it easy for them and do not make it difficult. Give glad tidings and do not create aversion." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, inform me about two drinks that we used to prepare in Yemen: one made from honey and we would leave it until it became strong, and the other made from corn, barley, and dates, and we would leave it until it became strong." The Prophet ﷺ had been given comprehensive knowledge and wisdom and he said, "I prohibit every intoxicating drink from prayer." So we set off.
