مُسْنَدُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 124
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I was serving Abū ʿUbaydah ibn al-Jarrāḥ, Ubayy ibn Kaʿb, Suhayl ibn Bayḍāʾ, and a group of the Prophet’s Companions at the house of Abū Ṭalḥah. I was serving them drinks until the drink had nearly taken its effect upon them, when a man from the Muslims came and said: “Have you not heard? Intoxicating drinks have been prohibited!” They did not say: “Let us first investigate and ask.” Rather, they said: “Pour away what is left in your jug, Anas!” He [Anas] said: “By Allah, they never returned to it — and their drink was nothing but ripe and unripe dates; that was their wine at the time.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 124
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: «كُنْتُ أَسْقِي أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ، وَأُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، وَسُهَيْلَ ابْنَ بَيْضَاءَ وَنَفَرًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ عِنْدَ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، وَأَنَا أَسْقِيهِمْ، حَتَّى كَادَ الشَّرَابُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ فِيهِمْ، فَأَتَى آتٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَقَالَ: أَوَمَا شَعَرْتُمْ أَنَّ الْخَمْرَ قَدْ حُرِّمَتْ؟» فَمَا قَالُوا: حَتَّى نَنْظُرَ وَنَسْأَلَ. فَقَالُوا: يَا أَنَسُ، أَكْفِئْ مَا بَقِيَ فِي إِنَائِكَ. قَالَ: «فَوَاللَّهِ مَا عَادُوا فِيهَا، وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا التَّمْرُ وَالْبُسْرُ، وَهِيَ خَمْرُهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ».
