Hadith 2001 Part F

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) , who had been gifted with the most eloquent and pithy expressions , said : I forbid you from every intoxicant that keeps you away from prayer.
