١٩۔ كِتَابُ الْأَشْرِبَةِ
"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] sent me to Yemen and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, there are (different kinds of) drinks there, what should I drink, and what should I refrain from?' He said: 'What are they?' I said: 'Al-Bit' (mead) and Al-Mizr (beer).' He said: 'What are mead and beer?' I said: 'Mead is a drink made from honey and beer is a drink made from grains.' The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'Do not drink any intoxicant, for I have forbidden all intoxicants.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5603)
بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ بِهَا أَشْرِبَةٌ فَمَا أَشْرَبُ وَمَا أَدَعُ؟ قَالَ «وَمَا هِيَ؟» قُلْتُ الْبِتْعُ وَالْمِزْرُ قَالَ «وَمَا الْبِتْعُ وَالْمِزْرُ؟» قُلْتُ أَمَّا الْبِتْعُ فَنَبِيذُ الْعَسَلِ وَأَمَّا الْمِزْرُ فَنَبِيذُ الذُّرَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا تَشْرَبْ مُسْكِرًا فَإِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ كُلَّ مُسْكِرٍ»
"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] sent me to Yemen and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, there are drinks there which they call Al-Bit' (mead) and Al-Mizr (beer).' He said: 'What is mead (and beer)?' I said: 'A drink made from honey, and beer is made from barley.' He said: 'Every intoxicant is unlawful.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5604)
بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ بِهَا أَشْرِبَةً يُقَالُ لَهَا الْبِتْعُ وَالْمِزْرُ قَالَ «وَمَا الْبِتْعُ؟» قُلْتُ شَرَابٌ يَكُونُ مِنَ الْعَسَلِ وَالْمِزْرُ يَكُونُ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ فَقَالَ «كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ»
"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] delivered a Khutbah and quoted the Verse about Khamr. A man said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you think about Al-Mizr (beer)?' He said: 'What is beer?' He said: 'A (drink) from grains that is made in Yemen.' He said: 'Does it intoxicate?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Every intoxicant is unlawful.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5605)
خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ آيَةَ الْخَمْرِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ الْمِزْرَ؟ قَالَ «وَمَا الْمِزْرُ؟» قَالَ حَبَّةٌ تُصْنَعُ بِالْيَمَنِ قَالَ «تُسْكِرُ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ»
"I heard Ibn 'Abbas when he was asked: 'Advise us about Badhiq (a drink made from the juice of grapes slightly boiled).' He said: 'Muhammad came before Badhiq (i.e., it was not known during his time), but everything that intoxicates is unlawful.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5606)
سَبَقَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ الْبَاذَقَ «وَمَا أَسْكَرَ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ»
