Hazrat Alqamah bin Wa'il narrates from his father that a man from the tribe of Juhfi, who was called Suwaid bin Tariq, asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about wine. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade him from it. He said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! We make it for medicinal purposes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It is a disease, it is not a medicine."
