Hadith 5607

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ آدَمَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , إِنَّ بِهَا أَشْرِبَةً ، يُقَالُ لَهَا : الْبِتْعُ وَالْمِزْرُ ، قَالَ : " وَمَا الْبِتْعُ وَالْمِزْرِ ؟ " ، قُلْتُ : شَرَابٌ يَكُونُ مِنَ الْعَسَلِ وَالْمِزْرُ يَكُونُ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ ، قَالَ : " كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Burdah that his father said:` "The Messenger of Allah [SAW] sent me to Yemen and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, there are drinks there which they call Al-Bit' (mead) and Al-Mizr (beer).' He said: 'What is mead (and beer)?' I said: 'A drink made from honey, and beer is made from barley.' He said: 'Every intoxicant is unlawful.'"

Urdu marginal note:
"Mizr" was prepared not only from barley but even from wheat, therefore this is not a contradiction. It was a type of nabidh (fermented drink).
