Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from al- Husayn ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Arjaniy from Malik al-Misma‘iy from Qayed ibn Talhah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about al-Nabidh which is placed in medicine.

He (the Imam) said, ‘No, it is not proper for one to seek cure from unlawful things.’” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (22/274))
