Hadith 5754

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ , عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ , قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ , يَقُولُ : " مَا وَجَدْتُ الرُّخْصَةَ فِي الْمُسْكِرِ عَنْ أَحَدٍ صَحِيحًا إِلَّا عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ " .
´Ibn Al-Mubarak said:` "I have never found any sound report, giving a concession on intoxicants, except the report narrated from Ibrahim."

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
It appears that in this matter, Ibrahim al-Nakha'i rahimahullah is unique. All the Companions (Sahabah) and Followers (Tabi'in) have absolutely declared every intoxicating drink to be prohibited, whereas Ibrahim al-Nakha'i permitted a small amount. From this, the significance and status of his opinion become evident. Opposing the consensus (ijma') of the Companions is no trivial matter; if someone does so deliberately, the Qur'an has used very severe words for such a person. May Allah protect us!
