Sunan Abu Dawood 4892

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ نَشِيطٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا الْهَيْثَمِ يَذْكُرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ دُخَيْنًا كَاتِبَ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ لَنَا جِيرَانٌ يَشْرَبُونَ الْخَمْرَ فَنَهَيْتُهُمْ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ لِعُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ جِيرَانَنَا هَؤُلَاءِ يَشْرَبُونَ الْخَمْرَ وَإِنِّي نَهَيْتُهُمْ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهُوا فَأَنَا دَاعٍ لَهُمُ الشُّرَطَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ دَعْهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى عُقْبَةَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ جِيرَانَنَا قَدْ أَبَوْا أَنْ يَنْتَهُوا عَنْ شُرْبِ الْخَمْرِ وَأَنَا دَاعٍ لَهُمُ الشُّرَطَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَيْحَكَ دَعْهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى حَدِيثِ مُسْلِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ:‏‏‏‏ عَنْ لَيْثٍ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَفْعَلْ وَلَكِنْ عِظْهُمْ وَتَهَدَّدْهُمْ.

Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: AbulHaytham quoted Dukhayn, the scribe of Uqbah ibn Amir, saying: We had some neighbours who used to drink wine. I for them, but they did not stop. I then said to Uqbah ibn Amir: These neighbours of ours drink wine, and I tried to prevent them but they did not stop, and I am going to call the police about them. He said: Leave them. I again came to Uqbah ibn Amir and said: Our neighbours have refused to refrain from drinking wine, and I am going to call the police for them. He said: Woe to thee! Leave them alone. I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم say: he then mentioned the tradition to the same effect as recorded above on the authority of the narrator Muslim. Abu Dawud said: In this version Hashim bin al-Qasim said on the authority of Laith: Do not do it, but preach them and threaten them.
