Hadith 6.3

Prescribed Punishments

ENGLISH

‘Abdallah b. ‘Amr told that the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade wine, <i>maisir</i>, the <i>kuba</i> and <i>ghubaira</i>,* saying, “Every intoxicant is prohibited.” Abd Dawud transmitted it. *This is a comprehensive tradition not exclusively dealing with intoxicants, although the Prophet’s words might suggest that it does. <i>Maisir</i> was a game of chance and the <i>kuba</i> was a kind of drum wide at the ends and narrow in the middle which was looked on with disapproval. The parts which refer to intoxicants are the wine (<i>khamr</i>) and the <i>ghubaira'</i> which was an intoxicant made by Abyssinians from millet.

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو: أَنَّ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ وَالْكُوبَةِ وَالْغُبَيْرَاءِ وَقَالَ: «كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
