Drinks

ʿAbd Allāh ibn Yūsuf narrated to us: Mālik informed us, from Nāfiʿ, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar (may God be pleased with them both): The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Whoever drinks wine in this world and does not repent of it will be deprived of it in the Hereafter.”

Abū al-Yamān narrated to us: Shuʿayb informed us, from al-Zuhrī, who said: Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyab informed me that he heard Abū Hurayrah (may God be pleased with him) say: On the night the Messenger of God ﷺ was taken on the Night Journey, two cups were brought to him in Jerusalem, one containing wine and the other milk. He looked at them, then took the milk. Jibrīl said: “Praise belongs to God, who guided you to the natural way. Had you taken the wine, your community would have gone astray.” Maʿmar, Ibn al-Hād, ʿUthmān ibn ʿUmar, and al-Zubaydī corroborated it from al-Zuhrī.

Muslim ibn Ibrāhīm narrated to us: Hishām narrated to us: Qatādah narrated to us, from Anas (may God be pleased with him), who said: “I heard a report from the Messenger of God ﷺ that no one but me will relate to you. He said: ‘Among the signs of the Hour are that ignorance will become widespread, knowledge will diminish, fornication will become widespread, wine will be drunk, men will grow fewer and women more numerous, until one man will be responsible for fifty women.’”

Aḥmad ibn Ṣāliḥ narrated to us: Ibn Wahb narrated to us, saying: Yūnus informed me, from Ibn Shihāb, who said: I heard Abū Salamah ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān and Ibn al-Musayyab say that Abū Hurayrah (may God be pleased with him) said: The Prophet ﷺ said: “The adulterer does not commit adultery while he is a believer; the wine drinker does not drink wine while he is a believer; and the thief does not steal while he is a believer.” Ibn Shihāb said: ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Abī Bakr ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Ḥārith ibn Hishām informed me that Abū Bakr used to relate it to him from Abū Hurayrah, then say: “Abū Bakr used to add to these: ‘Nor does someone plunder valuable spoils, at which people raise their eyes while he is plundering them, while he is a believer.’”

Al-Ḥasan ibn Ṣabbāḥ narrated to us: Muḥammad ibn Sābiq narrated to us: Mālik—meaning Ibn Mighwal—narrated to us, from Nāfiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar (may God be pleased with them both), who said: “Wine was forbidden, and there was none of it in Medina.”

Aḥmad ibn Yūnus narrated to us: Abū Shihāb ʿAbd Rabbih ibn Nāfiʿ narrated to us, from Yūnus, from Thābit al-Bunānī, from Anas, who said: “When wine was forbidden to us, we could find only a little grape wine—in Medina, that is. Most of our wine was from unripe dates and ripe dates.”

Musaddad narrated to us: Yaḥyā narrated to us, from Abū Ḥayyān, who said: ʿĀmir narrated to us, from Ibn ʿUmar (may God be pleased with them both): ʿUmar stood at the pulpit and said: “To proceed: the prohibition of wine was revealed, and it comes from five things: grapes, dates, honey, wheat, and barley. Wine is whatever clouds the intellect.”

Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us, saying: Mālik ibn Anas narrated to me, from Isḥāq ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Ṭalḥah, from Anas ibn Mālik (may God be pleased with him), who said: “I was serving Abū ʿUbaydah, Abū Ṭalḥah, and Ubayy ibn Kaʿb with fadīkh made from fresh dates and dried dates. A messenger came to them and said, ‘Wine has been forbidden.’ Abū Ṭalḥah said, ‘Get up, Anas, and pour it away.’ So I poured it away.”

Musaddad narrated to us: Muʿtamir narrated to us, from his father, who said: I heard Anas say: “I was standing among the people, serving them—my paternal uncles, while I was the youngest—with fadīkh. It was said, ‘Wine has been forbidden.’ They said, ‘Pour it out,’ so I poured it out.” I asked Anas, “What was their drink?” He said, “Fresh dates and unripe dates.” Abū Bakr ibn Anas said, “That was their wine,” and Anas did not object. One of my companions told me that he heard Anas say: “That was their wine at that time.”

Muḥammad ibn Abī Bakr al-Muqaddamī narrated to us: Yūsuf Abū Maʿshar al-Barrāʾ narrated to us, saying: I heard Saʿīd ibn ʿUbayd Allāh say: Bakr ibn ʿAbd Allāh narrated to me that Anas ibn Mālik related to them: “Wine was forbidden, and the wine of that time was made from unripe dates and ripe dates.”

ʿAbd Allāh ibn Yūsuf narrated to us: Mālik informed us, from Ibn Shihāb, from Abū Salamah ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, that ʿĀʾishah said: The Messenger of God ﷺ was asked about bitʿ. He said: “Every drink that intoxicates is forbidden.”

Abū al-Yamān informed us: Shuʿayb informed us, from al-Zuhrī, who said: Abū Salamah ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān informed me that ʿĀʾishah (may God be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of God ﷺ was asked about bitʿ—which is honey nabīdh and was drunk by the people of Yemen. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Every drink that intoxicates is forbidden.”

From al-Zuhrī, who said: Anas ibn Mālik narrated to me that the Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Do not prepare nabīdh in a gourd or in a tar-coated vessel.” Abū Hurayrah used to add to these the ḥantam and the naqīr.

Aḥmad ibn Abī Rajāʾ narrated to us: Yaḥyā narrated to us, from Abū Ḥayyān al-Taymī, from al-Shaʿbī, from Ibn ʿUmar (may God be pleased with them both), who said: ʿUmar delivered a sermon from the pulpit of the Messenger of God ﷺ and said: “The prohibition of wine has been revealed. It comes from five things: grapes, dates, wheat, barley, and honey. Wine is whatever clouds the intellect. There are three matters about which I wish the Messenger of God ﷺ had not departed from us before giving us definitive guidance: the grandfather, al-kalālah, and some forms of usury.” I said, “Abū ʿAmr, what about something made in Sind from rice?” He said, “That did not exist in the time of the Prophet ﷺ”—or he said, “in the time of ʿUmar.” Ḥajjāj reported from Ḥammād, from Abū Ḥayyān, “raisins” in place of “grapes.”

Ḥafṣ ibn ʿUmar narrated to us: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī al-Safar, from al-Shaʿbī, from Ibn ʿUmar, from ʿUmar, who said: “Wine is made from five things: raisins, dates, wheat, barley, and honey.”

Hishām ibn ʿAmmār said: Ṣadaqah ibn Khālid narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Yazīd ibn Jābir narrated to us: ʿAṭiyyah ibn Qays al-Kilābī narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ghanm al-Ashʿarī narrated to us, saying: Abū ʿĀmir—or Abū Mālik—al-Ashʿarī narrated to me: “By God, he did not lie to me: he heard the Prophet ﷺ say: ‘There will surely be people from my community who deem fornication, silk, wine, and musical instruments lawful. And there will surely be people who settle beside a mountain, with their livestock returning to them in the evening. A person in need—meaning, a poor person—will come to them, and they will say, “Come back to us tomorrow.” God will cause them to spend the night and bring the mountain down, and He will transform others into apes and swine until the Day of Resurrection.’”

Qutaybah ibn Saʿīd narrated to us: Yaʿqūb ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrated to us, from Abū Ḥāzim, who said: I heard Sahl say: “Abū Usayd al-Sāʿidī came and invited the Messenger of God ﷺ to his wedding feast. His wife, who was the bride, served them.” She said: “Do you know what I served the Messenger of God ﷺ to drink? I soaked some dates for him in a bowl overnight.”

Yūsuf ibn Mūsā narrated to us: Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh Abū Aḥmad al-Zubayrī narrated to us: Sufyān narrated to us, from Manṣūr, from Sālim, from Jābir (may God be pleased with him), who said: “The Messenger of God ﷺ forbade vessels.” The Anṣār said, “We cannot do without them.” He said: “Then [you may use them] in that case.”

Khalīfah said: Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd narrated to us: Sufyān narrated to us, from Manṣūr, from Sālim ibn Abī al-Jaʿd, from Jābir, with this report. ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad narrated to us: Sufyān narrated to us with this report, and added: “When the Prophet ﷺ forbade the vessels.”

ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us: Sufyān narrated to us, from Sulaymān ibn Abī Muslim al-Aḥwal, from Mujāhid, from Abū ʿIyāḍ, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr (may God be pleased with them both), who said: “When the Prophet ﷺ forbade water skins, it was said to him, ‘Not everyone can find a water skin.’ So he granted them permission to use earthenware jars, provided they were not coated with pitch.”
