I said, "Messenger of Allah, in our land we have grapes which we press to extract their juice. May we drink from it?"He said, "No."I asked him again, saying, "We use it as a remedy for the sick."He replied, "That is not a cure, but rather a disease."
قلت: يا رسول الله، إن بأرضنا أعنابا نعتصرها، فنشرب منها؟ قال: لا، فراجعته، قلت: إنا نستشفي به للمريض، قال: إن ذلك ليس بشفاء، ولكنه داء.
Ibn Majah (3500), Ahmad (18787), and Ibn Hibban (1389) all narrated it, with Ibn Hibban grading it sahih, all of them from the hadith of Hammad bin Salama, who said, Simak bin Harb related to us, from Alqama bin Waail, from Tariq bin Suwayd, and he mentioned it. Its chain is sahih.Both routes are preserved, for Tariq bin Suwayd is the one who asked the question. At one time Alqama bin Waail narrated it from him directly, and at another time he narrated it from his father, who related the question from Tariq bin Suwayd.His saying, "We press it and drink from it," means after it becomes wine, for otherwise grape juice is not forbidden. His saying, "Rather, it is a disease," means it is a cause of various illnesses, as has now been established, so do not be deceived by anyone who says that it contains health and strength.
