  تفرد به همام عن محمد بن عمرو عن أبي سلمة عن ابن عمر عن عمر عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وغيره يرويه عن محمد بن عمرو عن أبي سلمة عن ابن عمر عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو الصواب وعند أبي سلمة بن عبد الرحمن في هذا أحاديث منها هذا ومنها ما رواه الزهري عن أبي سلمة عن عائشة أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال كل شراب أسكر فهو حرام ومنها ما يرويه محمد بن عمرو أيضا عن أبي سلمة عن أبي هريرة أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم نهى عن الدباء والحنتم والنقير وقال كل مسكر حرام وكلها محفوظة عن أبي سلمة

  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
