أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ - عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ كُنْتُ أَسْقِي أَبَا طَلْحَةَ وَأُبَىَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ وَأَبَا دُجَانَةَ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ حَدَثَ خَبَرٌ نَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُ الْخَمْرِ. فَكَفَأْنَا. قَالَ وَمَا هِيَ يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلاَّ الْفَضِيخُ خَلِيطُ الْبُسْرِ وَالتَّمْرِ. قَالَ وَقَالَ أَنَسٌ لَقَدْ حُرِّمَتِ الْخَمْرُ وَإِنَّ عَامَّةَ خُمُورِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْفَضِيخُ.
Suwayd ibn Nasr reported to us; he said: ʿAbdullah—meaning Ibn al-Mubarak—informed us, from Saʿid ibn Abi ʿArubah, from Qatadah, from Anas, who said: I was serving wine to Abu Talhah, Ubayy ibn Kaʿb, and Abu Dujanah, along with a group of the Ansar, when a man came in and said, ‘News has arrived: the prohibition of wine has been revealed.’ So we poured it out. The only drink they had at the time was fadikh, a mixture of unripe and dried dates. Anas said: ‘Wine was forbidden, and most of their wine at that time was fadikh.’
Translation notes
Fadikh was a date-based intoxicating drink; the report identifies it as a mixture of unripe and dried dates.
