سنن نسائی · Hadith 5703

It was narrated that Abu Al Juwairiyah Al-Jarmi said: “I asked Ibn ‘Abbas, when he was leaning back against the Ka’bah, about Badhaq (a drink made from the juice of grapes slightly boiled). He said: ‘Muhammad came before Badhaq (i.e., it was not known during his time), but everything that intoxicates is unlawful.” He said: “I was the first of the ‘Arabs to ask him.” (Sahih)
