Sunan Abu Dawud #3690

Drinks (Kitab Al-Ashribah)
Sahih

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

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْخٌ، مِنْ أَهْلِ وَاسِطٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيَّ، وَسُئِلَ، عَنِ الدَّاذِيِّ، فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ لَيَشْرَبَنَّ نَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الْخَمْرَ يُسَمُّونَهَا بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ الدَّاذِيُّ شَرَابُ الْفَاسِقِينَ ‏.‏
An old man of the people of Wasit narrated from Abu Mansur al-Harith bin Mansur saying: I heard Sufyan Al-Thawri who was asked about al-dadhi. He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Some of my people will assuredly drink wine calling it by another name.

Context

In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) warns that some members of his community will consume alcohol but will refer to it by different names. This reflects a broader theme of how people might attempt to circumvent prohibitions by altering terminology. The takeaway is a caution against the normalization of prohibited substances under different guises.

Modern Application

Today, this principle serves as a reminder to be vigilant about the language we use and the practices we adopt. It encourages individuals to recognize and avoid behaviors that may seem acceptable but are fundamentally against ethical or religious guidelines.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Divine Legislation because it addresses the prohibition of alcohol consumption and the potential for mislabeling it.
