Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ وَعَفَّانُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا الْمُثَنَّى بْنُ عَوْفٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْجَسْرِيُّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ مَعْقِلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ عَنْ الشَّرَابِ فَقَالَ كُنَّا بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَتْ كَثِيرَةَ التَّمْرِ فَحَرَّمَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْفَضِيخَ وَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ أُمٍّ لَهُ عَجُوزٍ كَبِيرَةٍ أَنَسْقِيهَا النَّبِيذَ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَأْكُلُ الطَّعَامَ فَنَهَاهُ مَعْقِلٌ.
English Translation
Abd al-Samad and Affan told us, they said: al-Muthanna ibn Awf told us: Abu Abdullah al-Jasri told us, who said: I asked Ma'qil ibn Yasar about drink, and he said: "We were in Medina, and it had abundant dates, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us the fadikh [unripe date drink]." A man came to him and asked him about his elderly mother: "Shall I give her nabidh [date drink] to drink, for she cannot eat food?" So Ma'qil forbade him.
