Sahih Muslim #5071

The Book of Drinks
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

وَحَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا ضَحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ، مَرْثَدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنِ الظُّرُوفِ وَإِنَّ الظُّرُوفَ - أَوْ ظَرْفًا - لاَ يُحِلُّ شَيْئًا وَلاَ يُحَرِّمُهُ وَكُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
I had forbidden you (from the preparation of Nabidh) and drinking it in certain vessels, (but now you may do so if you like) for it is not vessels or a vessel that makes a thing lawful or unlawful. It is every intoxicant that is unlawful.
Narrated by Ibn Buraida, on the authority of his father, reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

Context

In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) clarifies the distinction between the vessels used for drinking and the nature of the drink itself. He emphasizes that it is not the vessel that determines the lawfulness of a drink, but rather the drink's intoxicating properties. This teaching underscores the importance of understanding the essence of prohibitions in Islam.

Modern Application

This principle can be applied today by encouraging individuals to focus on the nature of what they consume rather than merely the context in which it is served. It promotes a thoughtful approach to dietary choices, emphasizing the importance of substance over appearance.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Dietary Laws and Drinking Etiquette because it addresses the nature of intoxicants and the importance of understanding the underlying principles of dietary prohibitions.

Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah, and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
