وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ ، عَنْ وَاقِدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ حِينَ قَدِمَ الشَّامَ شَكَا إِلَيْهِ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ وَبَاءَ الْأَرْضِ وَثِقَلَهَا، وَقَالُوا : لَا يُصْلِحُنَا إِلَّا هَذَا الشَّرَابُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : " اشْرَبُوا هَذَا الْعَسَلَ "، قَالُوا : لَا يُصْلِحُنَا الْعَسَلُ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ : هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ نَجْعَلَ لَكَ مِنْ هَذَا الشَّرَابِ شَيْئًا لَا يُسْكِرُ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ، فَطَبَخُوهُ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ مِنْهُ الثُّلُثَانِ وَبَقِيَ الثُّلُثُ، فَأَتَوْا بِهِ عُمَرَ فَأَدْخَلَ فِيهِ عُمَرُ إِصْبَعَهُ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَهُ فَتَبِعَهَا يَتَمَطَّطُ، فَقَالَ : " هَذَا الطِّلَاءُ هَذَا مِثْلُ طِلَاءِ الْإِبِلِ "، فَأَمَرَهُمْ عُمَرُ أَنْ يَشْرَبُوهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ : أَحْلَلْتَهَا وَاللَّهِ ؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : " كَلَّا وَاللَّهِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَا أُحِلُّ لَهُمْ شَيْئًا حَرَّمْتَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَلَا أُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَيْئًا أَحْلَلْتَهُ لَهُمْ "
Mahmood bin Labeed Ansari narrates that when Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) came towards Syria, people mentioned the epidemic and the heaviness of the climate, and said: Our health does not remain good without this drink. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Drink honey. They said: Honey does not suit us. A person said: We will prepare it in such a way that it does not intoxicate. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes. They cooked it until one third remained and two thirds evaporated, then brought it to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). He dipped his finger in it, and when it became sticky, he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This syrup is similar to camel’s syrup. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) permitted its drinking. Sayyiduna Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You have made it lawful. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: No, by Allah! O Allah! I have never made lawful what You have made unlawful, nor made unlawful what You have made lawful.
