Translation

Muhammad Bin Al Hassan and Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar, altogether, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq, from Abdullah Bin Hammad, (It has been narrated) from Muhammad son of Ja’far^asws, from his father^asws having said: ‘A group of people came over to Rasool-Allah^saww from Al-Yemen. So they asked him^saww for the information of their Religion, and he^saww answered them. So the whole of the group went out. So when they had ascended their rides, some of them said to the others, ‘We forgot to ask Rasool-Allah^saww about what was important to us’. Then the group descended, and sent a delegation of theirs. So the delegation came over to Rasool-Allah^saww, so they said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! The group has sent us to you^saww to ask about <span class="iTxt">Al-Nabeez</span>’. So Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘And what is <span class="iTxt">Al-Nabeez</span>. Describe it to me^saww’. So they said, ‘Some dates are taken and placed in a vessel, then water is poured over it until it is filled, and fir is ignited beneath it until it is cooked. So when it is cooked, it is taken and cast into another vessel. Then water is poured over it, then it is pressed, then filtered with a cloth, then it is cast into a vessel, then the residue from before is poured over it, then it rises and boils, then settles upon the residue’. So Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘O you! You have exceeded. Does it intoxicate?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He^saww said: ‘So every intoxicant is Prohibited’. So the delegation went out until they ended up to their companions and informed them with what Rasool-Allah^saww had said. So the group said, ‘Return with us to Rasool-Allah^saww until we ask him^saww about it verbally and there does not happen to be an ambassador between us and him^saww’. So the whole group returned and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! Our land is a land of insects and we are a people of the plantations, and we are not strong upon the work except by the <span class="iTxt">Nabeez</span>’. So Rasool-Allah^saww said to them: ‘Describe it to me^saww’. So they described it to him^saww just as their companions had described it. So Rasool-Allah^saww said to them: ‘Does it intoxicate?’ So they said, ‘Yes’. So he^saww said: ‘Every intoxicant is Prohibited, and it is a right upon Allah^azwj that He^azwj should Quench every drinker of the intoxicant from the essence of <span class="iTxt">Khabaal</span>. Do you all know what is the essence of <span class="iTxt">Khabaal</span>?’ They said, ‘No’. He^saww said: ‘Pus of the inhabitants of the Fire’.
