أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيَّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کُلُّ مُسْکِرٍ حَرَامٌ وَکُلُّ مُسْکِرٍ خَمْرٌ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ وَهَؤُلَائِ أَهْلُ الثَّبْتِ وَالْعَدَالَةِ مَشْهُورُونَ بِصِحَّةِ النَّقْلِ وَعَبْدُ الْمَلِکِ لَا يَقُومُ مَقَامَ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ وَلَوْ عَاضَدَهُ مِنْ أَشْکَالِهِ جَمَاعَةٌ وَبِاللَّهِ التَّوْفِيقُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5717
It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “The Messenger af Allah said: ‘Every intoxicant is unlawful and every intoxicant is Khamr.” (Hasan) Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa’i) said: These people (narrators) are the people who are confirmed, and trustworthy and well-known for their correctness in reporting. And ‘Abdul-Malik does not hold the status of any one of them even if a group of the likes of him aided him. And with Allah is the facilitation to what is right.
