Al-Kafi 12289

Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Hanaan Bin Sudeyr who said, ‘I heard a man and he was saying to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘What are you^asws saying regarding <span class="iTxt">Al-Nabeez</span>, for Abu Maryam is drinking it and he is claiming that you^asws ordered him with drinking it?’ So he^asws said: ‘Abu Maryam spoke the truth. He asked me^asws about <span class="iTxt">Al-Nabeez</span>, so I^asws informed him that it is Permissible, and he did not ask me about the intoxicant’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he^asws said: ‘For the intoxicants, there is no dissimulation in it for anyone, neither from the authorities nor someone else. Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘Every intoxicant is Prohibited, and whatever a lot of it intoxicates so a little of it is Prohibited’. So the man said to him^asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws! This <span class="iTxt">Al-Nabeez</span> which you^asws are permitting for Abu Maryam with regards to drinking it, which thing is it?’ So he^asws said: ‘As for my^asws father^asws, he^asws had ordered the servant, so he came with a cup, and he^asws made raisins to be in it, and washed it with a washing, clean. Then he^asws made it to be in a vessel, then poured water over it the like of three or four times of it. Then he^asws made it at night and he^asws would drink it at daytime, and he^asws made it at daytime and he^asws would drink it in the evening. And he^asws used to order the servant with washing the vessel every three days, perhaps it would have stained. Thus, if you all are wanting <span class="iTxt">Al-Nabeez</span>, so this is <span class="iTxt">Al-Nabeez</span>’.
