أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ عَنْ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ جَائَ رَجُلٌ إِلَی ابْنِ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَهْلَنَا يَنْبِذُونَ لَنَا شَرَابًا عَشِيًّا فَإِذَا أَصْبَحْنَا شَرِبْنَا قَالَ أَنْهَاکَ عَنْ الْمُسْکِرِ قَلِيلِهِ وَکَثِيرِهِ وَأُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ عَلَيْکَ أَنْهَاکَ عَنْ الْمُسْکِرِ قَلِيلِهِ وَکَثِيرِهِ وَأُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ عَلَيْکَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ يَنْتَبِذُونَ شَرَابًا مِنْ کَذَا وَکَذَا وَيُسَمُّونَهُ کَذَا وَکَذَا وَهِيَ الْخَمْرُ وَإِنَّ أَهْلَ فَدَکٍ يَنْتَبِذُونَ شَرَابًا مِنْ کَذَا وَکَذَا يُسَمُّونَهُ کَذَا وَکَذَا وَهِيَ الْخَمْرُ حَتَّی عَدَّ أَشْرِبَةً أَرْبَعَةً أَحَدُهَا الْعَسَلُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5597
It was narrated that Ibn Sirin said: “A man came to Ibn ‘Umar and said: ‘Our families make drinks for us by soaking (fruits) at night, and in the morning we drink them.’ He said: ‘I forbid you to drink intoxicants whether in small amounts or large. May Allah bear witness that I forbid you to drink intoxicants whether in small amounts or large. May Allah bear witness that the people of Khaibar used to make drinks by soaking such and such, and they called it such and such but it was Khamr. The people of Fadak used to make drinks by soaking such and such, and they called it such and such but it was Khamr.’ And he listed four things, one of which was honey.” (Sahih)
