Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 51, Hadith 117
‘Abdullah bin Buraidah (narrated) from his father that: While the Messenger of Allah was walking, he approached some people and heard a confused noise coming from them. He said: “What is this noise?” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, they have a drink that they drink.” He sent for those people and said: “In what do you soak (fruit – to make that drink)?” They said: “We soak (fruits) in vessels carved from wood and gourds, and we have no water skins (that can be closed).” He said: “Do not drink except from a vessel that can be tied closed.” Then as much time as Allah willed passed, then he went back to them and they had fallen sick and become pallid. He said: “Why do you look so ill?” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, our land is unhealthy and you forbade to us everything except that which was in a vessel that could be tied closed.” He said: “Drink, but every intoxicant is unlawful.”
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ – مَرْوَزِيٌّ – قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ، – خُرَاسَانِيٌّ – قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْنَا هُوَ يَسِيرُ إِذْ حَلَّ بِقَوْمٍ فَسَمِعَ لَهُمْ لَغَطًا فَقَالَ ” مَا هَذَا الصَّوْتُ ” . قَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ شَرَابٌ يَشْرَبُونَهُ . فَبَعَثَ إِلَى الْقَوْمِ فَدَعَاهُمْ فَقَالَ ” فِي أَىِّ شَىْءٍ تَنْتَبِذُونَ ” . قَالُوا نَنْتَبِذُ فِي النَّقِيرِ وَالدُّبَّاءِ وَلَيْسَ لَنَا ظُرُوفٌ . فَقَالَ ” لاَ تَشْرَبُوا إِلاَّ فِيمَا أَوْكَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ ” . قَالَ فَلَبِثَ بِذَلِكَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَلْبَثَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَإِذَا هُمْ قَدْ أَصَابَهُمْ وَبَاءٌ وَاصْفَرُّوا . قَالَ ” مَا لِي أَرَاكُمْ قَدْ هَلَكْتُمْ ” . قَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَرْضُنَا وَبِيئَةٌ وَحَرَّمْتَ عَلَيْنَا إِلاَّ مَا أَوْكَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ . قَالَ ” اشْرَبُوا وَكُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ ” .
Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 51, Hadith 117
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. Sunan an-Nasa’i stands as one of the six canonical collections of hadith, known as the Kutub al-Sittah, which are foundational to Sunni Islamic jurisprudence and theology. This significant work was compiled by the esteemed 9th-century scholar Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i. The collection is distinguished by its author’s meticulous and rigorous methodology, which involved a stringent process for verifying the authenticity of each narration. By deliberately excluding traditions he deemed weak or fabricated, al-Nasa’i created a compilation of over 5,700 hadiths that is highly respected for its reliability and its focused emphasis on the authentic sayings, actions, and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad.
