Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، فَيْرُوزَ قَالَ قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا أَصْحَابُ كَرْمٍ وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ تَحْرِيمَ الْخَمْرِ فَمَاذَا نَصْنَعُ قَالَ ‏"‏ تَتَّخِذُونَهُ زَبِيبًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ فَنَصْنَعُ بِالزَّبِيبِ مَاذَا قَالَ ‏"‏ تَنْقَعُونَهُ عَلَى غَدَائِكُمْ وَتَشْرَبُونَهُ عَلَى عَشَائِكُمْ وَتَنْقَعُونَهُ عَلَى عَشَائِكُمْ وَتَشْرَبُونَهُ عَلَى غَدَائِكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ أَفَلاَ نُؤَخِّرُهُ حَتَّى يَشْتَدَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَجْعَلُوهُ فِي الْقُلَلِ وَاجْعَلُوهُ فِي الشِّنَانِ فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ تَأَخَّرَ صَارَ خَلاًّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

ʿAmr ibn ʿUthman ibn Saʿid ibn Kathir informed me: Baqiyyah narrated to us: al-Awzaʿi narrated to me, from Yahya ibn Abi ʿAmr, from ʿAbdullah ibn al-Daylami, from his father Fayruz, who said: I came to the Messenger of Allah and said: “Messenger of Allah, we are people of vineyards, and Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has revealed the prohibition of wine. What should we do?” He said: “Turn your grapes into raisins.” I asked: “What should we do with the raisins?” He said: “Soak them in the morning and drink them in the evening, or soak them in the evening and drink them in the morning.” I asked: “Should we not leave them until they become strong?” He said: “Do not put them in large jars; put them in leather waterskins, for if you leave them, they will turn to vinegar.”

Translation notes
  • The report describes making a fresh raisin infusion and drinking it the same day.
