أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ کُهَيْلٍ عَنْ ذَرِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَی عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أُبَيَّ بْنَ کَعْبٍ عَنْ النَّبِيذِ فَقَالَ اشْرَبْ الْمَائَ وَاشْرَبْ الْعَسَلَ وَاشْرَبْ السَّوِيقَ وَاشْرَبْ اللَّبَنَ الَّذِي نُجِعْتَ بِهِ فَعَاوَدْتُهُ فَقَالَ الْخَمْرَ تُرِيدُ الْخَمْرَ تُرِيدُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5770
It was narrated from Saeed bin ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abza that his father said: “I asked Ubayy bin Ka’b about Nabidh, and he said: ‘Drink water, drink honey, drink SawIq (barley gruel) and drink milk that you have been nourished with since childhood.’ I repeated the question and he said: ‘Is it wine you want? Is it wine you want?” (Da’if)
