2046. Simāk narrated that he heard 'Alqamah bin Wā'il narrate from his father, that he witnessed the Prophet ﷺ being asked by Suwaid bin Tāriq – or Tāriq bin Suwaid – about Khamr, and he forbade it. So he said: "We use it as a treatment." So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "It is certainly not a treatment, rather, it is a disease." (Ṣaḥīḥ) Mahmūd narrated to us (saying): "An-Nadr bin Shumail and Shabābah narrated to us from Shu'bah" with similar. Mahmūd said: "An-Nadr said: 'Tāriq bin Suwaid' and Shabābah said: "Suwaid bin Ṭāriq." [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

٢٠٤٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، عَنْ ‌شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ ‌سِمَاكٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ‌عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ «شَهِدَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَسَأَلَهُ سُوَيْدُ بْنُ طَارِقٍ» أَوْ طَارِقُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ فَنَهَاهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّا نَتَدَاوَى بِهَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِدَوَاءٍ وَلَكِنَّهَا دَاءٌ. ٢٠٤٦ (م) - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَحْمُودٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ ‌وَشَبَابَةُ ، عَنْ ‌شُعْبَةَ بِمِثْلِهِ. قَالَ مَحْمُودٌ: قَالَ النَّضْرُ: طَارِقُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ. وَقَالَ شَبَابَةُ: سُوَيْدُ بْنُ طَارِقٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Footnotes

  1. 1

    [1] Khabīth means normally filthy, and or unlawful. Regarding the statement that it means poison, Al-Mubārakpūrī said: "This is an explanation of Khabīth from Abū Hurairah or someone below him." And he quoted Ibn Hajar indicating the same, see Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi, and the statement "[Abū 'Eisā said]" between brackets is not in the text of Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi as is the general rule.

Commentary

The Ḥadīth conclusively proves that treatment with intoxicants (e.g. wine) is not allowed in Islam since it is not a treatment but a disease.
