Alqamah bin Wa'il narrates from his father that some people came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). A man named Suwaid bin Tariq from the tribe of Khath'am stood before the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: "We make alcohol." The Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade him from doing so. He said: "We use it as medicine." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "It is not a medicine, it is a disease."
