The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "In the last days, my community will drink wine, calling it by a name other than its own."
أن رسول الله ﷺ قال: إن أمتي يشربون الخمر في آخر الزمان يسمونها بغير اسمها.
Tabarani narrated it in Al-Kabir (11/118) from Hasan bin Abbas Razi, who said, Ismail bin Tawba Qazwini narrated to us, who said, Affan bin Sayyar narrated to us, who said, Abu Amir Khazzaz narrated to us, from Ibn Abu Mulayka, from Ibn Abbas who said, then he mentioned it. Its chain is hasan because of Abu Amir Khazzaz, whose name is Salih bin Rustum, for there is disagreement about him, though he is hasan al-hadith. Ibn Adi said, "His hadiths are scarce, and perhaps all that he narrated with a full chain amounts to fifty hadiths. Yahya Qattan narrated from him despite his great strictness in scrutiny. In my view there is no harm in him, and I have not seen any hadith of his that is severely objectionable."On this subject there is also what was narrated from Ubada bin Samit, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Some people of my nation will drink wine under a name they will give it." Ibn Majah (3385) and Ahmad (22709) narrated it through the route of Saad bin Aws the scribe, from Bilal bin Yahya Absi, from Abu Bakr bin Hafs, from Ibn Muhayriz, from Thabit bin Samt, from Ubada bin Samit, who mentioned it. In its chain is Thabit bin Samt, who is unknown, and Ibn Muhayriz alone narrated from him. No one deemed him reliable except Ibn Hibban. As for Ibn Hajar's statement about him, "truthful," this is questionable. Rather, according to his own methodology it would be more fitting to call him "acceptable," meaning where he is corroborated, and he was not corroborated in this chain, although the hadith does have sahih corroborating reports. The rest of its narrators are reliable.On this subject there is also what was narrated by Abu Dawud (3688), Ibn Majah (4020), and Ahmad (22900), and Ibn Hibban graded it sahih (6758), all of them through the route of Muawiya bin Salih, who said, Hatim bin Hurayth narrated to me, from Malik bin Abu Maryam, who said, Abdul-Rahman bin Ghanm came in to visit us, and we discussed tila (a type of drink), and he said, Abu Malik Ashari narrated to me that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Some people of my nation will surely drink wine, calling it by a name other than its own." This wording is Abu Dawud's. In Ahmad's version there is an introductory story at the beginning, and Ibn Majah and Ibn Hibban added, "Musical instruments and female singers will be played over their heads, and Allah will cause the earth to swallow them up and turn some of them into apes and pigs." In its chain is Malik bin Abu Maryam, whom no one deemed reliable except Ibn Hibban, who is known for his leniency in validating unknown narrators. For this reason, Dhahabi mentioned him in Al-Mizan and said, "He is not known." Ibn Hajar said in Al-Tahdhib, "It is not known who he is." And in Al-Taqrib he said, "Acceptable," meaning where he is corroborated, otherwise his hadith is weak, and I have not found anyone who corroborated him on this.Along the same lines is what was narrated from Abu Umama Bahili, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The nights and days will not pass until a group from my nation drinks wine, calling it by a name other than its own." Ibn Majah narrated it (3384) from Abbas bin Walid Dimashqi, who said, Abdul-Salam bin Abdul-Qaddus narrated to us, who said, Thawr bin Yazid narrated to us, from Khalid bin Madan, from Abu Umama Bahili, who mentioned it. In its chain is Abdul-Salam bin Abdul-Qaddus, who is Kalai Dimashqi, whom Abu Hatim, Ibn Hibban, and others declared daif.On this subject there is also what was narrated by Hakim (4/174) and Bayhaqi (1948), both through the route of Saeed bin Abu Hilal, from Muhammad bin Abdullah, that Abu Muslim Khawlani performed the pilgrimage and went in to visit Ayesha, wife of the Prophet ﷺ. She began asking him about Syria and its cold weather, and he began telling her about it. She said, "How do they bear its cold?" He said, "Mother of the believers, they drink a drink of theirs called tila." She said, "Allah spoke the truth, and my beloved ﷺ conveyed it faithfully. I heard him say, 'Some people of my nation drink wine, calling it by a name other than its own.'" Abu Yaala narrated it (4390) through this same route with similar wording, adding the story of women entering the bathhouses. Hakim graded it sahih according to the criterion of the two sheikhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but Dhahabi challenged him, saying, "This is what he said, 'Muhammad,' but Muhammad is unknown, and even if he were the nephew of Zuhri, the chain would still be disconnected."
