Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ السَّكَرُ حَرَامٌ وَالرِّزْقُ الْحَسَنُ حَلاَلٌ ‏.‏

Translation

Suwayd reported to us; he said: ʿAbdullah informed us, from Sufyan, from Abu Husayn, from Saʿid ibn Jubayr, who said: ‘Intoxicating drink is forbidden, and wholesome provision is lawful.’

Translation notes
  • Khamr refers to intoxicating drink; the Arabic contrasts it with wholesome lawful provision.
