Wa’il al-Hadrami reported: Tariq ibn Suwayd asked the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, about wine and the Prophet prohibited him from preparing it. Tariq said, “I only prepare it as medicine.” The Prophet said, “Verily, it is not a cure, but rather it is a sickness.”

عَنْ وَائِلٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ أَنَّ طَارِقَ بْنَ سُوَيْدٍ الْجُعْفِيَّ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ فَنَهَاهُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا أَصْنَعُهَا لِلدَّوَاءِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِدَوَاءٍ وَلَكِنَّهُ دَاءٌ
