عَنْ دَيْلَمٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا بِأَرْضٍ بَارِدَةٍ نُعَالِجُ بِهَا عَمَلًا شَدِيدًا وَإِنَّا نَتَّخِذُ شَرَابًا مِنْ هَذَا الْقَمْحِ نَتَقَوَّى بِهِ عَلَى أَعْمَالِنَا وَعَلَى بَرْدِ بِلَادِنَا قَالَ هَلْ يُسْكِرُ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ هَلْ يُسْكِرُ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ قُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ غَيْرُ تَارِكِيهِ قَالَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَتْرُكُوهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Daylam Himyari (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that our land is cold and our labor is very hard, we prepare a drink from wheat through which we gain strength so that we can overcome the physical toil and the coldness of the region. What is your opinion about it? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Is it intoxicating? I said: Yes, it is intoxicating. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Avoid it and do not drink it. I came from the front to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and repeated the same question. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Does it intoxicate? I said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Avoid it. I said: People will not leave it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If they do not leave it, then kill them.
