أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُبَارَکِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِکٍ أَخْبَرَهُمْ قَالَ بَيْنَا أَنَا قَائِمٌ عَلَی الْحَيِّ وَأَنَا أَصْغَرُهُمْ سِنًّا عَلَی عُمُومَتِي إِذْ جَائَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا قَدْ حُرِّمَتْ الْخَمْرُ وَأَنَا قَائِمٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَسْقِيهِمْ مِنْ فَضِيخٍ لَهُمْ فَقَالُوا اکْفَأْهَا فَکَفَأْتُهَا فَقُلْتُ لِأَنَسٍ مَا هُوَ قَالَ الْبُسْرُ وَالتَّمْرُ قَالَ أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَنَسٍ کَانَتْ خَمْرُهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَلَمْ يُنْکِرْ أَنَسٌ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5556
Anas bin Malik said: “While I was taking care of a group of people, including my paternal uncles, and I was the youngest of them, a man came and said: ‘Khamr has been forbidden.’ I was taking care of them, and was pouring FadIkh (date wine) for them. They said: ‘Pour it away.’ So I poured it away.” I (the narrator) said to Anas: “What is that?” He said: “Unripe dates and dried dates.” Abu Bakr bin Anas said: “That was their wine in those days.” And Anas did not deny that. (Sahih)
