حَدَّثَنَا
وَكِيعٌ ,
وَحَجَّاجٌ , قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا
شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ
سِمَاكٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ : أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَثْعَمَ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : سُوَيْدُ بْنُ طَارِقٍ ، عَنْ
الْخَمْرِ , فَنَهَاهُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْءٌ نَصْنَعُهُ دَوَاءً ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّمَا هِيَ دَاءٌ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Suwaid bin Tariq (may Allah be pleased with him) that he submitted in the court: O Messenger of Allah! We live in a region of grapes, can we squeeze them (and drink their wine)? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No." He asked: Can we give it to patients as a treatment? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no cure in it, rather it is a disease."
