Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ عَنْ نَبِيذِ الْجَرِّ أَهَلْ نَهَى عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ زَعَمُوا ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى فَقَالَ قَدْ زَعَمُوا ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ قَدْ زَعَمُوا ذَلِكَ فَصَرَفَهُ اللَّهُ عَنِّي وَكَانَ إِذَا قِيلَ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ غَضِبَ وَهَمَّ يُخَاصِمُهُ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us, Shu'bah told us, from Thabit: I asked Ibn Umar about nabidh made in earthenware jars, whether the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it. He said: "They have claimed that." I said: "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbid it?" He said: "They have claimed that." I said: "Did you hear it from him yourself?" He said: "They have claimed that" - and Allah turned that away from me - and whenever it was said to anyone: "Did you hear it yourself?" he would get angry and be about to quarrel with him.
