أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ کَثِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ فَيْرُوزَ قَالَ قَدِمْتُ عَلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا أَصْحَابُ کَرْمٍ وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ تَحْرِيمَ الْخَمْرِ فَمَاذَا نَصْنَعُ قَالَ تَتَّخِذُونَهُ زَبِيبًا قُلْتُ فَنَصْنَعُ بِالزَّبِيبِ مَاذَا قَالَ تُنْقِعُونَهُ عَلَی غَدَائِکُمْ وَتَشْرَبُونَهُ عَلَی عَشَائِکُمْ وَتُنْقِعُونَهُ عَلَی عَشَائِکُمْ وَتَشْرَبُونَهُ عَلَی غَدَائِکُمْ قُلْتُ أَفَلَا نُؤَخِّرُهُ حَتَّی يَشْتَدَّ قَالَ لَا تَجْعَلُوهُ فِي الْقُلَلِ وَاجْعَلُوهُ فِي الشِّنَانِ فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ تَأَخَّرَ صَارَ خَلًّا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5751
It was narrated from ‘Abdullah Ad-Dailami that his father Fairuz said: “I came to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, we have grapevines and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has revealed that Khamr (wine) is forbidden, so what should we do?’ He said: ‘Make raisins.’ I said: ‘What should we do with the raisins?’ He said: ‘Soak them in the morning and drink them in the evening, and soak them in the evening and drink them in the morning.’ I said: ‘Can we leave it until it gets stronger?’ He said: ‘Do not put it in clay vessels, rather put it in skins, for if it stays there for a long time, it will turn into vinegar.” (Sahih)
