بَابُ : ذِكْرِ مَا يَجُوزُ شُرْبُهُ مِنَ الأَنْبِذَةِ وَمَا لاَ يَجُوزُChapter: Kinds of Nabidh that are Permissible to Drink and the Kinds that are Not

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ , قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ , عَنْ شُعْبَةَ , عَنْ قَتَادَةَ , عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ , قَالَ : " إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَتِ الْخَمْرُ لِأَنَّهَا تُرِكَتْ حَتَّى مَضَى صَفْوُهَا وَبَقِيَ كَدَرُهَا , وَكَانَ يَكْرَهُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ يُنْبَذُ عَلَى عَكَرٍ " .
´It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab said:` "Khamr is so called because it is left until the good parts are gone and the dregs remain." And he disliked everything that was made by using dregs (by adding new materials to the dregs).
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
The purpose here is that the intoxicating effect in wine is also due to the sediment that settles at the bottom. And the clear beverage becomes dry. If the sediment (talchat) of nabidh is added to another nabidh, then what difference would remain between it and wine? Intoxication would also be produced in it. In other words, Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib (rahimahullah) is not explaining the etymology of the word "khamr" (wine), but rather he is explaining the reality of wine: that it is called "khamr" because of its intoxicating effect. And Allah knows best.
