It was narrated that Ibn Sirin said: “A man came to Ibn ‘Umar and said: ‘Our families make drinks for us by soaking (fruits) at night, and in the morning we drink them.’ He said: ‘I forbid you to drink intoxicants whether in small amounts or large. May Allah bear witness that I forbid you to drink intoxicants whether in small amounts or large. May Allah bear witness that the people of Khaibar used to make drinks by soaking such and such, and they called it such and such but it was Khamr. The people of Fadak used to make drinks by soaking such and such, and they called it such and such but it was Khamr.’ And he listed four things, one of which was honey.”
Hadith In Arabic Text :
أخبرنا سويد بن نصر، قال حدثنا عبد الله، عن ابن عون، عن ابن سيرين، قال جاء رجل إلى ابن عمر فقال إن أهلنا ينبذون لنا شرابا عشيا فإذا أصبحنا شربنا . قال أنهاك عن المسكر قليله وكثيره وأشهد الله عليك أنهاك عن المسكر قليله وكثيره وأشهد الله عليك إن أهل خيبر ينتبذون شرابا من كذا وكذا ويسمونه كذا وكذا وهي الخمر وإن أهل فدك ينتبذون شرابا من كذا وكذا يسمونه كذا وكذا وهي الخمر حتى عد أشربة أربعة أحدها العسل .
