Hadith 5719
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ , قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ , عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ , عَنْ أَبِي مِجْلَزٍ , عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , أَنَّهُ قَالَ : قَرَأْتُ كِتَابَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ إِلَى أَبِي مُوسَى : " أَمَّا بَعْدُ , فَإِنَّهَا قَدِمَتْ عَلَيَّ عِيرٌ مِنْ الشَّامِ تَحْمِلُ شَرَابًا غَلِيظًا أَسْوَدَ كَطِلَاءِ الْإِبِلِ , وَإِنِّي سَأَلْتُهُمْ عَلَى كَمْ يَطْبُخُونَهُ ؟ فَأَخْبَرُونِي أَنَّهُمْ يَطْبُخُونَهُ عَلَى الثُّلُثَيْنِ , ذَهَبَ ثُلُثَاهُ الْأَخْبَثَانِ ثُلُثٌ بِبَغْيِهِ , وَثُلُثٌ بِرِيحِهِ , فَمُرْ مَنْ قِبَلَكَ يَشْرَبُونَهُ " .
´It was narrated that 'Amir bin 'Abdullah said:` "I saw the letter of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab to Abu Musa (in which he said): 'A caravan came to me from Ash-Sham carrying a thick black paint like the pitch that is daubed on camels. I asked them how long they cooked it, and they told me that they cooked it until it was reduced by two-third. So the bad two-third had gone, one-third to take away evil and one-third to take away the bad smell. So let those who are with you drink it."
Brief Explanation
1؎: The meaning is that when grape juice is cooked, it has three states: the first state is that it is intoxicating and strong; the second state is that it becomes foul-smelling; and the third state is that it becomes excellent and flavorful.
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
This is the same cooked grape juice (tila’) that has been mentioned earlier. The point is that when the juice of grapes is boiled over fire to the extent that it becomes so reduced, then there remains no possibility of intoxication or odor in it. This has been expressed in these words: “One third removes its intoxicating effect, and the other third removes its odor,” but the apparent wording is not intended. And Allah knows best.
