Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5575
This report from Sa'eed bin Jubair is short and direct: strong drink is khamr. There are no extra details in the text, so the safest explanation is to focus on the meaning of that statement. It treats strong drink as khamr instead of giving it a softer label. For people searching for strong drink is khamr, this narration helps show how early Muslim scholars spoke plainly about drinks that carry this quality. The teaching is not about a named fruit or a soaking method here. It is about identifying strong drink for what it is in the words of the report.
