1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il from Hanan ibn Sadir who has said the following
“I once heard a man who asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘What do you say about al-Nabidh? Abu Maryam drinks it and he thinks that you have commanded him to drink. ’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Abu Maryam has spoken the truth. He asked me about al-Nabidh but not about intoxicating liquor.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘Intoxicating liquor is as such that one must not even seek Taqiyah (caution because of fear) before al-Sultan or others. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “Intoxicating liquor is unlawful and whatever is intoxicating in large quantity is unlawful in small quantity also.’” The man then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, what is al-Nabidh which you allowed abu Maryam to use?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘My father (a.s.), would order the servant to bring a bowl and place raisins in it; wash them clean, place it in a bowl then pour on it three or four times as much water. Then keep it overnight to drink it in the morning and place it in a bowl in the morning to drink it in the evening. He (the Imam) commanded the servant to wash the bowl after every three days to remove the stain, if it had formed. If you want al-Nabidh, this is al-Nabidh.’”
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا تَقُولُ فِي النَّبِيذِ فَإِنَّ أَبَا مَرْيَمَ يَشْرَبُهُ وَ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ أَمَرْتَهُ بِشُرْبِهِ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ أَبُو مَرْيَمَ سَأَلَنِي عَنِ النَّبِيذِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَّهُ حَلَالٌ وَ لَمْ يَسْأَلْنِي عَنِ الْمُسْكِرِقَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ الْمُسْكِرَ مَا اتَّقَيْتُ فِيهِ أَحَداً سُلْطَاناً وَ لَا غَيْرَهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ وَ مَا أَسْكَرَ كَثِيرُهُ فَقَلِيلُهُ حَرَامٌفَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ هَذَا النَّبِيذُ الَّذِي أَذِنْتَ لِأَبِي مَرْيَمَ فِي شُرْبِهِ أَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ هُوَ فَقَالَ أَمَّا أَبِي ( عليه السلام ) فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ الْخَادِمَ فَيَجِي‏ءُ بِقَدَحٍ وَ يَجْعَلُ فِيهِ زَبِيباً وَ يَغْسِلُهُ غَسْلًا نَقِيّاً ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُ فِي إِنَاءٍ ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَةً مِثْلَهُ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةً مَاءً ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ يَشْرَبُهُ بِالنَّهَارِ وَ يَجْعَلُهُ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَ يَشْرَبُهُ بِالْعَشِيِّ وَ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ الْخَادِمَ بِغَسْلِ الْإِنَاءِ فِي كُلِّ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ كَيْلَا يَغْتَلِمَ فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُرِيدُونَ النَّبِيذَ فَهَذَا النَّبِيذُ .
