5607. It was narrated from Abū Burdah that his father said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent me to Yemen and I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, there are drinks there which they call Al-Bit' (mead) and Al-Mizr (beer). He said: 'What is mead (and beer)?' I said: 'A drink made from honey, and beer is made from barley.' He said: 'Every intoxicant is unlawful.'" (Sahih)
5604 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ آدَمَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ ابْنِ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ بِهَا أَشْرِبَةً يُقَالُ لَهَا: الْبِتْعُ وَالْمِزْرُ، قَالَ: «وَمَا الْبِتْعُ، وَالْمِزْرِ؟»، قُلْتُ: شَرَابٌ يَكُونُ مِنَ الْعَسَلِ، وَالْمِزْرُ: يَكُونُ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ، قَالَ: «كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ»
