اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ , قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ , عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ دِينَارٍ , عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ , قَالَ : كَانَ لِسَعْدٍ كُرُومٌ وَأَعْنَابٌ كَثِيرَةٌ , وَكَانَ لَهُ فِيهَا أَمِينٌ فَحَمَلَتْ عِنَبًا كَثِيرًا , فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ : إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَى الْأَعْنَابِ الضَّيْعَةَ , فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ أَعْصُرَهُ عَصَرْتُهُ , فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ سَعْدٌ : " إِذَا جَاءَكَ كِتَابِي هَذَا فَاعْتَزِلْ ضَيْعَتِي , فَوَاللَّهِ لَا أَئْتَمِنُكَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا , فَعَزَلَهُ عَنْ ضَيْعَتِهِ " .
´It was narrated that Mus'ab bin Sa'd said:` "Sa'd had many grapevines and he had someone looking after them for him. (The vines) bore many grapes, and that man wrote to him (saying): 'I am afraid that the grapes will be wasted; what do you think if I squeeze them to make juice? Sa'd wrote to him (saying): 'When this letter of mine reaches you, leave my land, for by Allah I cannot trust you with anything ever agin.' So he made him leave his land."
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Grapes juice is generally used for making wine and other intoxicating drinks. Extracting and selling the juice is cooperation in the making of wine; therefore, Hazrat Sa'd dismissed his administrator merely for suggesting this idea. After all, he was a Companion of the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), one of the ten given glad tidings of Paradise (asharah mubashsharah), and a governor appointed by Hazrat Umar (radi Allahu anhu). How could he tolerate that the fruit of his orchard be used in making wine? Radi Allahu anhu wa ardah. However, if some lawful thing is to be prepared from the juice, then it is permissible to extract the juice and sell it to trustworthy people—for example, tila' (a thickened grape syrup) which does not intoxicate.
