حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْبِتْعِ فَقَالَ کُلُّ شَرَابٍ أَسْکَرَ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد قَرَأْتُ عَلَی يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ الْجُرْجُسِيِّ حَدَّثَکُمْ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ عَنْ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ زَادَ وَالْبِتْعُ نَبِيذُ الْعَسَلِ کَانَ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ يَشْرَبُونَهُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد سَمِعْت أَحْمَدَ بْنَ حَنْبَلٍ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مَا کَانَ أَثْبَتَهُ مَا کَانَ فِيهِمْ مِثْلُهُ يَعْنِي فِي أَهْلِ حِمْصٍ يَعْنِي الْجُرْجُسِيَّ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3682
Aishah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about bit’. He replied: Every liquor which intoxicates is forbidden. Abu Dawud said: I read out this tradition to Yazid bin Abd Rabbihi al-Jurjisi. Muhammad bin Hard told you this tradition from al-Zabidi from al-Zuhri through his chain of narrators. This version added: Bit' is the nabidh from honey, which the people of the Yemen would drink. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad bin Hanbal say: There is no god but Allah. there was none stronger in memory and like al-Jurjisi among the people of Hims.
