Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar
that some men from Iraq said to him, "Abu Abd ar-Rahman, we buy the
fruit of the palm and grapes and we squeeze them into wine and we sell
it." Abdullah ibn Umar said, "I call on Allah and His angels and
whoever hears of jinn and men to testify to you that I order you not
to buy it nor sell it nor to press it nor to drink it nor to give it
to people to drink. It is something impure from the work of Shaytan."
Muwatta Malik Book 42, Hadith 20

Yahya related to me from Malik from Da'ud ibn al-Husayn that
Waqid ibn Amr ibn Sad ibn Muadh informed him from Mahmud ibn Labid al-
Ansari that when Umar ibn al-Khattab went to ash-Sham, the people of
ash-Sham complained to him about the bad air of their land and its
heaviness. They said, "Only this drink helps." Umar said, "Drink this
honey preparation." They said, "Honey does not help us." A man from
the people of that land said, "Can we give you something of this drink
which does not intoxicate?" He said, "Yes." They cooked it until two-
thirds of it evaporated and one-third of it remained. Then they
brought it to Umar. Umar put his finger in it and then lifted his head
and extended it. He said, "This is fruit juice concentrated by
boiling. This is like the distillation with which you smear the
camel's scabs." Umar ordered them to drink it. Ubada ibn as-Samit said
to him, "You have made it halal, by Allah!" Umar said, "No, by Allah!
O Allah! I will not make anything halal for them which You have made
haram for them! I will not make anything haram for them which You have
made halal for them."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn
Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Hazm from his father that in a letter which the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent to
Amr ibn Hazm about blood-money he wrote that it was one hundred camels
for a life, one hundred camels for a nose if completely removed, a
third of the blood-money for a wound in the brain, the same as that
for a belly wound, fifty for an eye, fifty for a hand, fifty for a
foot, ten camels for each finger, and five for teeth, and five for a
head wound which laid bare the bone.
