English translation
[5133] 5 - (...) Anas bin Mâlik said: “I was looking after the uncles (elders) of my tribe, pouring date wine for them, and I was the youngest of them. Then a man came and said: Khamr has been forbidden.’ They said: ‘Spill it out, O Anas,’ so I spilled it out.” I (the sub narrator) said to Anas: “What was it?” He said: “Unripe dates and fresh dates.” And Abû Bakr bin Anas said: “That was their Khamr in those days.”
