حدثنا الضحاك بن مخلد حدثنا عبد الحميد يعني ابن جعفر قال حدثنا يزيد بن أبي حبيب حدثنا مرثد بن عبد الله اليزني قال
أنه سأل رسول الله ﷺ قال إنا بأرض باردة وإنا لنستعين بشراب يصنع لنا من القمح فقال رسول الله ﷺ أيسكر قال نعم قال فلا تشربوه فأعاد عليه الثانية فقال له رسول الله ﷺ أيسكر قال نعم قال فلا تشربوه قال فأعاد عليه الثالثة فقال له رسول الله ﷺ أيسكر قال نعم قال فلا تشربوه قال فإنهم لا يصبرون عنه قال فإن لم يصبروا عنه فاقتلهم
Its isnad is sahih, its narrators are trustworthy and well-known figures. Ibn Abu Shayba narrated the hadith in 7/460, no. 3794, in the chapter on beverages, on whoever forbids intoxicants, and something similar is found in Abu Dawud 4/89, no. 3683, and Bayhaqi 8/292. In Fath al-Bari 1/44, he said, "The isnad of Abu Dawud is hasan."
