Ibn Buraida, on the authority of his father, reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: 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.

Ibn Buraida, on the authority of his father, reported Allah's Messenger (may Peace be upon him) as saying: I had forbidden you from the drinking (and preparation of) Nabidh in the vessels made out of leather, but (now) you may drink in all vessels, but you do not drink an intoxicant.

'Abdullah bin 'Amr reported that when Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbade (the preparation) of Nabidh in vessels, they said all the people cannot (afford to have) them. He (the Holy Prophet) then granted them permission (to prepare) Nabidh in a green pitcher, but not in those besmeared with pitch.

'A'isha reported: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was asked about "Bit", whereupon he said: Every drink that causes intoxication is forbidden.

'A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was asked about "Bit", whereupon he said that everything that causes intoxication is forbidden.

This hadith has been reported on the authority of Zuhri with this chain of transmitters but in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Sufyan and Salih (these words are not found) "she was asked about Bit". (These words are found in the hadith) transmitted on the authority of Ma'mar and in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Salih (only these words are found) that she (Hadrat 'A'isha) had heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) say: Every intoxicating drink is forbidden.

Abu Musa reported: Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sent me and Mu'adh bin Jabal to Yemen. I said: Allah's Messenger, there is prepared in our land a wine out of barley which is known as Mizr (beer of our times) and a wine from honey which is known as Bit, (are these also forbidden?), whereupon he said: Every intoxicant is forbidden.

Abu Burda reported on the authority of his grandfather that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sent him and Mu'adh bin Jabal to Yemen and said to them: Give good tidings to the (people) and make things easy (for them), teach (them), and do not repel (them); and I think he also said: Cooperate cheerfully with each other. When he (the Holy Prophet) turned his back, Abu Musa returned to him and said: Allah's Messenger, they (the people of Yemen) have a drink which is (made) from honey and which is prepared by cooking it until it coagulates, and Mizr is prepared from barley, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Every intoxicant that detains you from prayer is forbidden.

Abu Burda reported on the authority of his father: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sent me and Mu'adh to Yemen saying: Call people (to the path of righteousness) and give good tidings to the (people), and do not repel them, make things easy for them and do not make things difficult. I (Burda) said: Allah's Messenger, give us a religious verdict about two kinds of drinks which we prepare in Yemen. One is Bit' which is prepared from honey; it is a fermented Nabidh and is strong and turns into wine, and (the second is) Mizr which is prepared from millet and barley. Thereupon, Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , who had been gifted with the most eloquent and pithy expressions, said: I forbid you from every intoxicant that keeps you away from prayer.
