أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ كَانُوا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّ مَنْ، شَرِبَ شَرَابًا فَسَكِرَ مِنْهُ لَمْ يَصْلُحْ لَهُ أَنْ يَعُودَ فِيهِ .
Ibrahim Narrated from:
They used to think that whoever drank something and became intoxicated from it, it was not befitting for him to go back and drink more of the same.

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5747
This report from Ibrahim gives a practical warning about intoxicating drinks. He said they used to think that if a person drank something and became intoxicated from it, it was not fitting for him to go back and drink more of the same. The wording is not complicated. It connects the known effect of a drink with the person's future choice. If it caused intoxication, the person should not return to it. For searches like hadith about intoxicants or nabidh and intoxication, this report gives a clear personal lesson. It does not discuss amounts, brands, or later details. It focuses on what happened: the drink intoxicated him, so returning to it was not seen as right.
What we learn from this hadith
- When a drink causes intoxication, returning to it is not fitting in this report.
- A person's own experience with a drink should lead to caution.
- The text focuses on avoiding the same drink after harm is known.
