Arabic text

5548 - أَخْبَرَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ، وَالْحَنْتَمِ، وَالْمُزَفَّتِ، وَالنَّقِيرِ، وَأَنْ يُخْلَطَ الْبَلَحُ وَالزَّهْوُ»

Commentary

1. In the above-quoted vessels, due to their absorbing the contents, intoxication would remain in them. These vessels were, therefore, forbidden for making Nabîdh. Or these vessels were probably used for brewing wine. At the time of the prohibition of alcoholic drinks or wine, the use of these vessels was temporarily forbidden so that even the idea of wine does not recur. Later on, permission to make use of these vessels was given, although one should deal cautiously and see that intoxication is not produced, Otherwise, the beverage would become unlawful. If it does not intoxicate, then there is no harm in it. 2. Balah, Zahr, Busr, Rutab, and Tamr are the various states or conditions of dates.
