Sunan ad-Darimi — Hadith #54936

Zaid bin Yahya told us, Muhammad bin Rashid told us, on the authority of Abu Wahb Al-Kala’i, on the authority of Al-Qasim bin Muhammad, on the authority of Aisha, she said: I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, saying: “Indeed, the first thing that is rewarded.” Zaid said: meaning: in Islam, just as a vessel is rewarded, meaning: “Wine,” and it was said: “How, O Messenger of God, when God has made clear about it what He has made clear?” The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “They call it by a name other than its name.” So they make it lawful.”
