شَهِدْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَسَأَلَهُ سُوَيْدُ بْنُ طَارِقٍ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ فَنَهَاهُ فَقَالَ نَتَدَاوَى بِهَا وَيَجْعَلُ فِي الدَّوَاءِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَيْسَتْ بِدَوَاءٍ وَلَكِنَّهَا دَاءٌ»

أَنَّ رَجُلًا يُقَالُ لَهُ سُوَيْدُ بْنُ طَارِقٍ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ، فَنَهَاهُ عَنْهَا. فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أَصْنَعُهَا لِلدَّوَاءِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «إِنَّهَا دَاءٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِدَوَاءٍ»

أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَثْعَمَ يُقَالُ لَهُ سُوَيْدُ بْنُ طَارِقٍ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ فَنَهَاهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْءٌ نَصْنَعُهُ دَوَاءً فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّمَا هِيَ دَاءٌ
