۞
2. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Abdullah bin Ja’far al-Himyari, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Khalid, from Uthman bin Isa, from an old man from the people of Medina, that he said
I asked Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, about a man who drinks and does not stop until he is satisfied. He said: Is satisfaction but that? I said: They say that it is (like) the drinking of thirsty cattle? He said: They have lied. The drinking of thirsty cattle is only that which the Name of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, has not been mentioned upon.
حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن جعفر الحميري، عن أحمد بن محمد بن خالد، عن عثمان بن عيسى، عن شيخ من أهل المدينة، قال
سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام: عن رجل يشرب فلا يقطع حتى يروي، فقال: فهل اللذة إلا ذاك؟ قلت: فإنهم يقولون: إنه شرب الهيم ؟ فقال: كذبوا إنما شرب الهيم ما لم يذكر [اسم] الله عز وجل عليه.
