حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَي بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، أَنَّ أَبَا كَثِيرٍ حَدَّثَهُ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْخَمْرُ مِنْ هَاتَيْنِ الشَّجَرَتَيْنِ النَّخْلَةِ وَالْعِنَبَةِ " .

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Benefit: Three hadiths have been mentioned in this chapter.
In the first two hadiths, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) explicitly mentioned several items
from which wine is made.
The purpose of your (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) statement is also this:
that wine, whatever it is made from—if it is intoxicating, then it is khamr and it is forbidden (haram).
In the third hadith, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has stated
that the wine which is commonly found
and prevalent
is made from these two fruits.
From these words, some people have derived the meaning
that wine will only be that which is made from these two fruits.
This is not correct.
This could not have been, nor was it, the intention of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
This is an attempt to separate a brief statement of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) from the explanation he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) himself provided, and to derive a meaning according to one’s own desire,
which is in no way permissible.

Benefits and Issues:

The meaning of the hadith is that wine is mostly made from these things.


Some people think that wine refers only to the intoxicating drink made from grapes; this opinion is not correct.


If the juice of something, or a drink made by mixing something in water, is intoxicating, then it is forbidden (haram).
If it is not intoxicating, then it is permissible (halal).
