Sunan an-Nasai 5735 (Book 51, Hadith 197) #20268
Making Raisins as an Alternative to Wine

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) advised to make raisins from grapes and soak them in the morning and drink them in the evening, or vice versa, as an alternative to wine.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah Ad-Dailami that his father Fairuz said: "I came to the Messenger of Allah SAW and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we have grapevines and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has revealed that Khamr (wine) is forbidden, so what should we do?' He said: 'Make raisins'. I said: 'What should we do with the raisins?' He said: 'Soak them in the morning and drink them in the evening, and soak them in the evening and drink them in the morning'. I said: 'Can we leave it until it gets stronger?' He said: 'Do not put it in clay vessels, rather put it in skins, for if it stays there for a long time, it will turn into vinegar'."
أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، فَيْرُوزَ قَالَ قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا أَصْحَابُ كَرْمٍ وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ تَحْرِيمَ الْخَمْرِ فَمَاذَا نَصْنَعُ قَالَ ‏"‏ تَتَّخِذُونَهُ زَبِيبًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ فَنَصْنَعُ بِالزَّبِيبِ مَاذَا قَالَ ‏"‏ تَنْقَعُونَهُ عَلَى غَدَائِكُمْ وَتَشْرَبُونَهُ عَلَى عَشَائِكُمْ وَتَنْقَعُونَهُ عَلَى عَشَائِكُمْ وَتَشْرَبُونَهُ عَلَى غَدَائِكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ أَفَلاَ نُؤَخِّرُهُ حَتَّى يَشْتَدَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ تَجْعَلُوهُ فِي الْقُلَلِ وَاجْعَلُوهُ فِي الشِّنَانِ فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ تَأَخَّرَ صَارَ خَلاًّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) advised people on what to do with their grapevines instead of making wine out of it. He suggested that they should make raisins instead, which is a dried fruit made by drying grapes in the sun or a food dehydrator. The Prophet also said that they should soak these raisins in either the morning or evening and then drink it at the other time. He also warned against leaving it too long so that it turns into vinegar. This hadith teaches us about moderation and avoiding excessiveness when consuming food items like raisins or any other type of food item for that matter. It also teaches us about being mindful of our actions and not taking things too far, such as leaving something for too long until it turns into something else entirely different than what was intended originally.
