عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ رضي الله عنه أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَهُ إِلَى اليَمَنِ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ أَشْرِبَةٍ تُصْنَعُ بِهَا، فَقَالَ: «وَمَا هِيَ؟» قَالَ: البِتْعُ وَالْمِزْرُ، فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي بُرْدَةَ: مَا البِتْعُ؟ قَالَ: نَبِيذُ العَسَلِ، وَالْمِزْرُ نَبِيذُ الشَّعِيرِ، فَقَالَ: «كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ»
Sa‘īd ibn Abu Burdah narrated from his father from Abu Mūsā al-Ash‘arī that:
1. The Prophet sent him to Yemen. He [i.e. Abu Mūsā] asked him about certain drinks made there. The Prophet asked: ‘Which ones?’ He said: al-bit‘ and al-mizr. I asked Abu Burdah: What is al-bit‘? He said: Fermented honey, while al-mizr is fermented barley. 2. The Prophet said: Every intoxicant is forbidden.
