16. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hanan ibn Sadir from Yazid ibn Khalifah and he is a man from banu al-Harith ibn Ka‘b who has said the following: “I once went to al-Madinah when Ziyad ibn ‘Ubayd Allah al-Harithiy was the governor. I asked permission to visit abu ‘ Abd Allah . I then visited and offered him (the Imam) the greeting of peace and took my place. I then said to abu ‘Abd Allah , ‘I am from banu al-Harith ibn Ka‘b and Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has granted me guidance to your love and affection toward Ah/ al-Bayt. He (the narrator) has said that abu ‘Abd Allah , then asked, ‘How were you guided to love of Ahl al- Bayt? By Allah our love in banu al-Harith ibn Ka‘b is very little.’ He (the narrator) has said that I then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, I have a Khurasaniy slave. He works as bleacher and he has four fellows from his town. They invite each other every Friday to the place of one of them. In every five Fridays, my slave has one day and he prepares al-Nabidh and meat for them. When they finish food and meat he brings a bowl and fills it with al-Nabidh, then brings a jug, when one of them wants to drink he is told not to drink until he says, ‘O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause.’ I received guidance to loving you because of this slave. He (the narrator) has said that he (the Imam) said to me, ‘Give him good advice, convey my greeting of peace to him and say to him, ‘Ja‘far ibn Muhammad says to you, “You must look into the drink that you drink. If a large quantity of it is intoxicating liquor then do not go close to its small quantity also; the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘All intoxicating liquor is unlawful.’ He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘Whatever is intoxicating liquor in large quantity, it in a small quantity is also unlawful.”” He (the narrator) has said that I went to al-Kufah and conveyed the greeting of peace to him from Ja‘far ibn Muhammad . He wept and asked me, ‘Did Ja‘far ibn Muhammad pay this much attention to me? He (the Imam) offered to me the greeting of peace! ’ I then said, ‘Yes, he (the Imam) did and he (the Imam) instructed me to inform you that you must look to the drink which you drink. If it is intoxicating liquor in large quantity, then do not go near to its small quantity; the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “All intoxicating liquor is unlawful and whatever is intoxicating liquor in large quantity is unlawful in small quantity also.” He (the Imam) has recommended me to be good to you. Therefore, I set you free. You can go free for the sake of Allah, most High.’ The slave then said, ‘It is the kind of drink that will never go in my belly as long as I live in this world.’”
