English narration
Narrated by أنس بن مالك الأنصاري
I was waiting on my uncles, serving them with an alcoholic drink prepared from dates, and I was the youngest of them. (Suddenly) it was said that alcoholic drinks had been prohibited. So they said (to me), 'Throw it away." And I threw it away The sub-narrator said I asked Anas what their drink was (made from), He replied, "(From) ripe dates and unripe dates."

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : " كُنْتُ قَائِمًا عَلَى الْحَيِّ أَسْقِيهِمْ عُمُومَتِي وَأَنَا أَصْغَرُهُمُ الْفَضِيخَ ، فَقِيلَ : حُرِّمَتِ الْخَمْرُ ، فَقَالَ : اكْفِئْهَا ، فَكَفَأْنَا ، قُلْتُ لِأَنَسٍ : مَا شَرَابُهُمْ ؟ ، قَالَ : رُطَبٌ وَبُسْرٌ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَنَسٍ : وَكَانَتْ خَمْرَهُمْ ، فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ أَنَسٌ ، وَحَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِي ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ : كَانَتْ خَمْرَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ .
