حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ مَهْدِيِّ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْجُمَحِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ الْمَعْنَى، وَاحِدٌ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ مَا أَسْكَرَ الْفَرَقُ مِنْهُ فَمِلْءُ الْكَفِّ مِنْهُ حَرَامٌ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا فِي حَدِيثِهِ ‏"‏ الْحُسْوَةُ مِنْهُ حَرَامٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ لَيْثُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ وَالرَّبِيعُ بْنُ صَبِيحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ نَحْوَ رِوَايَةِ مَهْدِيِّ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ ‏.‏ وَأَبُو عُثْمَانَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ اسْمُهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ سَالِمٍ وَيُقَالُ عُمَرُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ أَيْضًا ‏.‏

Translation

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: ‘Abd al-A‘la ibn ‘Abd al-A‘la narrated to us, from Hisham ibn Hassan, from Mahdi ibn Maymun. (A second chain:) ‘Abd Allah ibn Mu‘awiyah al-Jumahi narrated to us: Mahdi ibn Maymun narrated to us—the meaning is the same—from Abu ‘Uthman al-Ansari, from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, from ‘A’ishah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Every intoxicant is forbidden. If a Faraq measure of a drink intoxicates, then a palmful of it is forbidden.”

Abu ‘Isa said: One of the two narrators said in his version, “A sip of it is forbidden.” He said: This hadith is hasan. Layth ibn Abi Sulaym and al-Rabi‘ ibn Sabih also transmitted it from Abu ‘Uthman al-Ansari, with wording similar to Mahdi ibn Maymun’s report. Abu ‘Uthman al-Ansari was named ‘Amr ibn Salim; it is also said that he was ‘Umar ibn Salim.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic provides two paths, both converging through Mahdi ibn Maymun before Abu ‘Uthman. Faraq is retained as the name of a measure; its quantity is not specified in this passage. The compiler notes a variant reading of ‘a sip’ in one of the two versions.

  • حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ،

    The English witness omits both source chains preceding Aisha.

    Please review the two paths translated from Arabic.

  • قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ مَا أَسْكَرَ الْفَرَقُ مِنْهُ فَمِلْءُ الْكَفِّ مِنْهُ حَرَامٌ ‏" ‏ ‏.

    The named measure faraq is not defined in this passage.

    Should the measure remain transliterated without adding a value?

  • ‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا فِي حَدِيثِهِ ‏"‏ الْحُسْوَةُ مِنْهُ حَرَامٌ ‏"‏ ‏.

    The source attributes the alternative ‘a sip’ wording to one of the two transmitters, without identifying which one.

    Is the attribution of this wording variant preserved adequately?
