Hadith 58
The Book of Drinks
It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ud said:
"The people have invented new drinks and I do not know what they are. I have not drunk anything for 20 years (or he said: 40 years) except water and Sawiq (barley gruel), and he did not mention Nabidh."
أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ أَحْدَثَ النَّاسُ أَشْرِبَةً مَا أَدْرِي مَا هِيَ فَمَا لِي شَرَابٌ مُنْذُ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً أَوْ قَالَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً إِلاَّ الْمَاءُ وَالسَّوِيقُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ النَّبِيذَ .
