Abu Burdah reported from his father Abu Mūsa al-Ash‘ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) had sent him to Yemen, and he asked him about certain drinks that used to be prepared there. He said: What are they? He said: "Al-Bit‘ and Al-Mizr?" It was said to Abu Burdah: What is Al-Bit‘? He said: An alcoholic drink made from honey, and Al-Mizr is an alcoholic drink made from barley.

Thereupon, he said: "Every intoxicant is prohibited" [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri] Muslim narrated it with the following wording: He said: The Messenger of Allah sent me and Mu‘ādh to Yemen. I said: O Messenger of Allah, there is a drink made in our land called 'Al-Mizr' from barley and a drink called 'Al-Bit‘' from honey.

He said: "Every intoxicant is prohibited." Another version by Muslim reads: "Thereupon, he said: Every intoxicant that detains one from prayer is forbidden." Another version by him reads: "The Messenger of Allah is gifted with the most eloquent and concise speech. He said: I forbid every intoxicant that keeps one away from prayer."

عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَريِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَهُ إِلَى اليَمَنِ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ أَشْرِبَةٍ تُصْنَعُ بِهَا، فَقَالَ: وَمَا هِيَ؟، قَالَ: «البِتْعُ وَالمِزْرُ»، فَقِيلَ لِأَبِي بُرْدَةَ: مَا البِتْعُ؟ قَالَ: نَبِيذُ العَسَلِ، وَالمِزْرُ: نَبِيذُ الشَّعِيرِ، فَقَالَ: «كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ» خرجه البخاري. وَخَرَّجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ وَلَفْظُهُ: قَالَ: بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اَلله أَنَا وَمُعَاذٌ إِلَى اَليَمَنِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ! إِنَّ شَرَابًا يُصْنَعُ بِأَرْضِنَا يُقَال لَهُ: المِزَرُ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ، وَشَرَابٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ: البِتْعُ مِنَ العَسَلِ، فَقَالَ: «كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ». وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِمُسْلِمٍ: «فَقَالَ: كُلُّ مَا أَسْكَرَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ». وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لَهُ: «وَكَانَ رَسُولُ الله قَدْ أُعْطِيَ جَوَامِعَ الكَلِمِ بِخَوَاتِمِهِ، فَقَالَ: أَنْهَى عَنْ كُلِّ مُسْكِرٍ أَسْكَرَ عَنْ الصَّلَاةِ».
