أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ عُيَيْنَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِنِّي امْرُؤٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ خُرَاسَانَ وَإِنَّ أَرْضَنَا أَرْضٌ بَارِدَةٌ وَإِنَّا نَتَّخِذُ شَرَابًا نَشْرَبُهُ مِنْ الزَّبِيبِ وَالْعِنَبِ وَغَيْرِهِ وَقَدْ أُشْکِلَ عَلَيَّ فَذَکَرَ لَهُ ضُرُوبًا مِنْ الْأَشْرِبَةِ فَأَکْثَرَ حَتَّی ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَفْهَمْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّکَ قَدْ أَکْثَرْتَ عَلَيَّ اجْتَنِبْ مَا أَسْکَرَ مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ زَبِيبٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5705
It was narrated from ‘Uyainah bin ‘Abdur-Rahman that his father said: “A man said to Ibn ‘Abbas: ‘I am a man from Khurasan, and our land is a cold land. We have a drink that is made from raisins and grapes and other things, and I am confused about it.’ He mentioned different kinds of drinks to him and mentioned many, until I though that he had not understood him. Ibn ‘Abbas said to him: ‘You have told me too many. Avoid whatever intoxicates, whether it is made of dates, raisins or anything else.” (Sahih).
