6124. Narrated Abū Mūsā that when Allāh's Messenger ﷺ sent him and Mu'ādh bin Jabal to Yemen, he said to them, "Make things easy for the people (treat the people in the most agreeable easy way), and do not make things difficult for them, and give them glad tidings, and do not repel them (i.e., to make the people hate good deeds and to run away from Islam), and you should both work in cooperation and mutual understanding, obey each other." Abū Mūsā said, "O Allāh's Messenger! We are in a land in which a drink named Al-Bit is prepared from honey and another drink named Al-Mizr is prepared (from barley)." On that, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "All intoxicants (i.e., all alcoholic drinks) are prohibited."

6124 - حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: لَمَّا بَعَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ، قَالَ لَهُمَا: «يَسِّرَا وَلاَ تُعَسِّرَا، وَبَشِّرَا وَلاَ تُنَفِّرَا، وَتَطَاوَعَا» قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّا بِأَرْضٍ يُصْنَعُ فِيهَا شَرَابٌ مِنَ العَسَلِ، يُقَالُ لَهُ البِتْعُ، وَشَرَابٌ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ، يُقَالُ لَهُ المِزْرُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ»
