أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ , قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ , عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ , عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ وَهْنانَ , قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ , قُلْتُ : إِنَّ لِي جُرَيْرَةً أَنْتَبِذُ فِيهَا حَتَّى إِذَا غَلَى وَسَكَنَ شَرِبْتُهُ , قَالَ : " مُذْ كَمْ هَذَا شَرَابُكَ ؟ " , قُلْتُ : مُذْ عِشْرُونَ سَنَةً , أَوْ قَالَ : مُذْ أَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً , قَالَ : " طَالَمَا تَرَوَّتْ عُرُوقُكَ مِنَ الْخَبَثِ وَمِمَّا اعْتَلُّوا بِهِ " . حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ , عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ .
´It was narrated that Qais bin Wahban said:` "I asked Ibn 'Abbas: 'I have a small jar in which I make Nabidh and when it has bubbled and settled down again, I drink it.' He said: 'For how long you have been drinking that?' He said: 'For twenty years'" - or he said: 'for forty years.' He said: 'For a long time you have been quenching your thirst with something forbidden.'"
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
The fermentation of nabidh is a sign of intoxication. That is why Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) has declared it impure and forbidden. Thus, according to Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu), intoxicating nabidh is impure and forbidden, whether in small or large quantity. Therefore, the narration permitting the consumption of an intoxicating drink in small amounts is not authentically reported from him.
