حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي عَلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ فَأَجْلَسَنَا عَلَى الْفُرُشِ ثُمَّ أُتِينَا بِالطَّعَامِ فَأَكَلْنَا ثُمَّ أُتِينَا بِالشَّرَابِ فَشَرِبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَ أَبِي ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا شَرِبْتُهُ مُنْذُ حَرَّمَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ كُنْتُ أَجْمَلَ شَبَابِ قُرَيْشٍ وَأَجْوَدَهُ ثَغْرًا وَمَا شَيْءٌ كُنْتُ أَجِدُ لَهُ لَذَّةً كَمَا كُنْتُ أَجِدُهُ وَأَنَا شَابٌّ غَيْرُ اللَّبَنِ أَوْ إِنْسَانٍ حَسَنِ الْحَدِيثِ يُحَدِّثُنِي
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: My father and I went to Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), he seated us on bedding and served us food. Then a drink was brought to us, Sayyiduna Muawiyah drank it and handed it to my father. My father said: Since the time the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) declared it forbidden, I have not drunk it. Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Among the Quraysh, I am the most handsome and have the best teeth. In my youth, I did not find such pleasure in anything else as I found in this, except that there is more pleasure in milk, or a person who speaks better than me also seems very delightful to me.
