أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُبَارَکِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ کُنْتُ أَسْقِي أَبَا طَلْحَةَ وَأُبَيَّ بْنَ کَعْبٍ وَأَبَا دُجَانَةَ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ حَدَثَ خَبْرٌ نَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُ الْخَمْرِ فَکَفَأْنَا قَالَ وَمَا هِيَ يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلَّا الْفَضِيخُ خَلِيطُ الْبُسْرِ وَالتَّمْرِ قَالَ وَقَالَ أَنَسٌ لَقَدْ حُرِّمَتْ الْخَمْرُ وَإِنَّ عَامَّةَ خُمُورِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْفَضِيخُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5557
It was narrated that Anas said: “I was pouring (wine) for Abu Talhah, Ubayy bin Ka’b and Abu Dujanah among a group of Ansar when a man came in and said: ‘Something new has happened; the prohibition of Khamr has been revealed.’ So we poured it away.” He said: “The only intoxicant in those days was Fa a mixture of unripe dates and dried dates.” And Anas said: “Khamr was forbidden, and most of their Khamr in those days was FadIkh.” (Sahih)222
