حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو سَمِعَهُ مِنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَهُ وَمُعَاذًا إِلَی الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا بَشِّرَا وَيَسِّرَا وَعَلِّمَا وَلَا تُنَفِّرَا وَأُرَاهُ قَالَ وَتَطَاوَعَا قَالَ فَلَمَّا وَلَّی رَجَعَ أَبُو مُوسَی فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لَهُمْ شَرَابًا مِنْ الْعَسَلِ يُطْبَخُ حَتَّی يَعْقِدَ وَالْمِزْرُ يُصْنَعُ مِنْ الشَّعِيرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کُلُّ مَا أَسْکَرَ عَنْ الصَّلَاةِ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 5215
Abu Burda reported on the authority of his grandfather that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sent him and Mu'adh b. Jabal to Yemen and said to them: Give good tidings to the (people). and make things easy (for them), teach (them), and do not repel (them) ; and I think he also said: Cooperate cheerfully with each other. When he (the Holy Prophet) turned his back, Abu Musa returned to him and said: Allah's Messenger, they (the people of Yemen) have a drink which is (made) from honey and which is prepared by cooking it until it coagulates, and Mizr is prepared from barley, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Every intoxicant that detains you from prayer is forbidden.
