وَعَنْ وَائِلٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ
أَنَّ طَارِقَ بْنَ سُوَيْدٍ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْخَمْرِ فَنَهَاهُ. فَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا أَصْنَعُهَا لِلدَّوَاءِ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِدَوَاءٍ وَلَكِنَّهُ دَاءٌ»
Tariq ibn Suwaid asked the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) about wine and he forbade him. When he told him that he made it only as a medicine he replied, “It is not a medicine, but is a disease.”
