He said: 'Muḥammad came before Bādhīq (i.e., it was not known during his time), but everything that intoxicates is unlawful.'" (Sahih)

Commentary
1. Bādhīq was also a kind of wine, which was prevalent among the non-Arabs. the Persians. They used to call it Bādah. The Arabs made it Bādhīq.
2. These add up to nearly 35 narrations, from which it transpires clearly, and the purpose of the author is also very much the same, that the cause of the prohibition of wine is intoxication. Therefore, in whichever substance intoxication is found, it is absolutely unlawful like wine, in small quantity as well as large. And this matter is extremely manifest by common knowledge, intellectually, and canonically. And this is the very course of action adopted and adhered to by the dominant majority of the people of knowledge, the Prophet's Companions, and the followers.
