Hadith 18862

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، " أَنَّ طَارِقَ بْنَ سُوَيْدٍ الْجُعْفِيَّ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ ، فَنَهَاهُ أَوْ كَرِهَ لَهُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَهَا ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّمَا نَصْنَعُهَا لِلدَّوَاءِ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِدَوَاءٍ وَلَكِنَّهُ دَاءٌ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Tariq bin Suwaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that I submitted in the presence of the Prophet, "O Messenger of Allah! We live in a region of grapes; can we extract (their wine) and drink it?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "No." I repeated my question, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said, "No." I said, "Can we give it to a patient as a treatment?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "There is no cure in it; rather, it is pure disease."
