Jami at-Tirmidhi 2046 (Book 28, Hadith 11) #27679
The Prohibition of Khamr

SUMMARY: The Prophet (s.a.w) forbade the use of Khamr and stated that it is not a treatment, but rather a disease.

Simak narrated that he heard 'Alqamah bin Wa'il narrate from his father, that he witnessed the Prophet (s.a.w) being asked by Suwaid bin Tariq -or Tariq bin Suwaid- about Khamr, and he forbade it. So he said: "We use it as a treatment". So the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) said: "It is certainly not a treatment, rather, it is a disease". Another chain reports a similar narration.
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، قال حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ النَّبِيَّ وَسَأَلَهُ سُوَيْدُ بْنُ طَارِقٍ أَوْ طَارِقُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ فَنَهَاهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّنَا نَتَدَاوَى بِهَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِدَوَاءٍ وَلَكِنَّهَا دَاءٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودٌ، قال حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، وَشَبَابَةُ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، بِمِثْلِهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ مَحْمُودٌ قَالَ النَّضْرُ طَارِقُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ وَقَالَ شَبَابَةُ سُوَيْدُ بْنُ طَارِقٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked about the use of khamr and he forbade it as an act of worship or for medicinal purposes. He clarified that khamr is not a treatment but rather a disease itself, which can lead to more serious illnesses if consumed in excess or without caution. This hadith serves as an important reminder to Muslims to stay away from intoxicants and other substances that can be harmful to their health and wellbeing in general, as well as their spiritual life in particular. It also teaches us that we should always seek out treatments for our ailments through natural means such as herbs and other remedies instead of relying on intoxicants or drugs for relief from pain or illness.
