أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَا وَمُعَاذٌ إِلَی الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ إِنَّکَ تَبْعَثُنَا إِلَی أَرْضٍ کَثِيرٌ شَرَابُ أَهْلِهَا فَمَا أَشْرَبُ قَالَ اشْرَبْ وَلَا تَشْرَبْ مُسْکِرًا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5612
It was narrated from Abu Burdah that his father said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم sent Muadh and me to Yemen. Muadh said: ‘You are sending us to a land where the people have many kinds of drinks. What should I drink?’ He said: ‘Drink, but do not drink any intoxicant.” (Sahih)
