Hadith Commentary:
From this hadith, it is also established that it is permissible to explain the details of arising issues from the pulpit, and it is evident that this should be done in the native language of the listeners. Furthermore, the use of the phrase "Amma ba'd!" after praise of Allah and sending blessings upon the Prophet is also established from this.
(Fath al-Bari)
It is necessary to deliver the Arabic sermon (khutbah) and then provide its translation in the native language of the listeners; otherwise, the purpose of the sermon will be lost.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
(1)
The position of the people of Kufa is that the real wine is that which is made from grapes, in such a way that its juice is placed over fire, and when it becomes thick and sour, then its use in both small and large quantities is forbidden.
And if wine is distilled from other things, then as long as it does not intoxicate, the prescribed punishment (hadd) will not be obligatory upon the drinker.
However, according to the hadith scholars (muhaddithin), the criterion for prohibition is its intoxicating nature, as the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Whatever drink causes intoxication is forbidden.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Wudu, Hadith: 242)
He also said:
“Every intoxicant is forbidden, and whatever large quantity of a thing causes intoxication, its small quantity is also forbidden.”
(Sunan al-Nasa’i, al-Ashribah, Hadith: 5610)
(2)
In any case, the position is entirely incorrect that a drink made from things other than grapes is not absolutely forbidden, and that a small quantity which does not intoxicate is lawful; the ahadith prove such statements to be wrong.
