حَدَّثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنَ الْمُثَنَّى قَال حَدَّثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ قَال حَدَّثنا شُعْبَةُ عَن سِمَاك بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ عَن أَبيهِ أَنَّ طَارِقَ بْنَ سُوَيْدٍ سَأَلَ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم عَنِ الْخَمْرِ يُتَدَاوَى بِهَا فَقَالَ لَيْسَ هِيَ دَوَاءً وَلَكِنَّهَا دَاءٌ سَأَلَ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم عَنِ الْخَمْرِ يُتَدَاوَى بِهَا فَقَالَ لَيْسَ هِيَ دَوَاءً وَلَكِنَّهَا دَاءٌ
