Sunan Abi Dawud 3682

Translation

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about bit’. He replied: Every liquor which intoxicates is forbidden. Abu Dawud said: I read out this tradition to Yazid bin 'Abd Rabbihi al-Jurjisi. Muhammad bin Hard told you this tradition from al-Zabidi from al-Zuhri through his chain of narrators. This version added: Bit' is the nabidh from honey, which the people of the Yemen would drink. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad bin Hanbal say: There is no god but Allah. there was none stronger in memory and like al-Jurjisi among the people of Hims.

  machine translationAbū Dāwūd said: I recited to Yazīd b. ʿAbd Rabbih al-Jurjusī: Muḥammad b. Ḥarb narrated to you, from al-Zubaydī, from al-Zuhrī, this ḥadīth with its chain of transmission, adding: "Al-bitʿ is honey nabīdh, which the people of Yemen used to drink." Abū Dāwūd said: I heard Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal say: "There is no god but Allah! How reliable he was! There was no one like him among them," meaning among the people of Ḥimṣ, meaning al-Jurjusī.

  machine translationHammām was alone in transmitting it from Muḥammad b. ʿAmr, from Abū Salamah, from Ibn ʿUmar, from ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ. Others narrate it from Muḥammad b. ʿAmr, from Abū Salamah, from Ibn ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ, and that is the correct version. Abū Salamah b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān has several hadiths on this subject: among them this one; and among them what al-Zuhrī narrates from Abū Salamah, from ʿĀʾishah, that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Every drink that intoxicates is forbidden." And among them what Muḥammad b. ʿAmr also narrates from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurayrah, that the Prophet ﷺ forbade the gourd (dubbāʾ), the green jar (ḥantam) and the hollowed palm-trunk (naqīr), and said: "Every intoxicant is forbidden." All of them are preserved (maḥfūẓ) from Abū Salamah. Report a problem
