Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الْجُوَيْرِيَةِ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ الْبَاذَقِ،‏.‏ فَقَالَ سَبَقَ مُحَمَّدٌ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْبَاذَقَ، فَمَا أَسْكَرَ فَهْوَ حَرَامٌ‏.‏ قَالَ الشَّرَابُ الْحَلاَلُ الطَّيِّبُ‏.‏ قَالَ لَيْسَ بَعْدَ الْحَلاَلِ الطَّيِّبِ إِلاَّ الْحَرَامُ الْخَبِيثُ‏.‏

Translation

Muḥammad ibn Kathīr narrated to us: Sufyān informed us, from Abū al-Juwayriyyah, who said: “I asked Ibn ʿAbbās about al-bādhiq. He said: ‘Muḥammad ﷺ came before al-bādhiq; whatever intoxicates is forbidden.’” He said: “The drink that is lawful and good…” He said: “After what is lawful and good, there is only what is forbidden and foul.”

Translation notes
  • Al-bādhiq is a named grape drink; the source does not define its preparation here. The pronoun of “He said” in the final two clauses is not explicit in this excerpt.
