٢٥٥٧٩ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا معتمر بن سليمان عن داود بن إبراهيم قال: قلت لطاوس: أرأيت هذا العصير الذي يطبخ على النصف والثلث ونحو ذلك؟ قال: أرأيت هذا الذي من نحو العسل: إن شئت أكلت (به) (١) الخبز، وإن شئت (صببت) (٢) عليه ماء فشربته، وما دونه فلا تشربه، ولا تبعه، (ولا) (٣) تنتفعن بثمنه.
It is narrated from Hazrat Dawood bin Ibrahim, he says that I asked Hazrat Ta'oos, "What is your opinion about that 'Aseer' (grape juice) which is cooked until it is reduced to half or a third, etc.?" He replied, "Do you see in this 'Aseer' anything like honey, that if you wish you may eat it with bread, and if you wish you may mix it with water and then drink it? And whatever is of a lesser degree than this, you should neither drink it, nor sell it, nor derive any benefit from its price."
