Hadith 13487

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْجَابِرُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ مَوْلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَعَمْرِو بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : " نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ ، وَعَنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ ، وَعَنِ النَّبِيذِ فِي الدُّبَّاءِ ، وَالنَّقِيرِ ، وَالْحَنْتَمِ ، وَالْمُزَفَّتِ " ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ : " أَلَا إِنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ ثَلَاثٍ ، ثُمَّ بَدَا لِي فِيهِنَّ : نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ ، ثُمَّ بَدَا لِي أَنَّهَا تُرِقُّ الْقَلْبَ ، وَتُدْمِعُ الْعَيْنَ ، وَتُذَكِّرُ الْآخِرَةَ ، فَزُورُوهَا وَلَا تَقُولُوا هُجْرًا ، وَنَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوهَا فَوْقَ ثَلَاثِ لَيَالٍ ، ثُمَّ بَدَا لِي أَنَّ النَّاسَ يُتْحِفُونَ ضَيْفَهُمْ ، وَيُخَبِّئُونَ لِغَائِبِهِمْ ، فَأَمْسِكُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ ، وَنَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنِ النَّبِيذِ فِي هَذِهِ الْأَوْعِيَةِ ، فَاشْرَبُوا بِمَا شِئْتُمْ ، وَلَا تَشْرَبُوا مُسْكِرًا ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَوْكَى سِقَاءَهُ عَلَى إِثْمٍ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade visiting graveyards, eating the meat of sacrifice after three days, and drinking nabidh from dubba, naqir, hantam, and muzaffat vessels. Then, after some time had passed, he said: I had previously forbidden you from three things, but now my opinion about them has become clear. I had forbidden you from visiting graveyards, but now my opinion is that it softens the hearts, brings tears to the eyes, and reminds one of the Hereafter, so visit the graveyards, but do not speak indecently. Similarly, I had forbidden you from eating the meat of sacrifice after three days, but now my opinion is that people give this meat as gifts to their guests and keep it stored for those who are absent, so you may keep it for as long as you wish. Also, I had forbidden you from drinking nabidh in those vessels, but now you may drink from whichever vessel you wish, but do not drink anything intoxicating. Now, whoever wishes may seal the mouth of his waterskin against something sinful.
