حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُبَيْرَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ، سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ أَيْتَامٍ وَرِثُوا خَمْرًا قَالَ " أَهْرِقْهَا " . قَالَ أَفَلاَ أَجْعَلُهَا خَلاًّ قَالَ " لاَ " .
Translation
Zuhayr ibn Harb told us: Waki told us, from Sufyan, from al-Suddi, from Abu Hubayrah, from Anas ibn Malik, that Abu Talhah asked the Prophet about orphans who had inherited intoxicants. He said, “Pour them out.” Abu Talhah asked, “May I not turn them into vinegar?” He replied, “No.”
