Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ حَدَّثَنِي حُسَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي عَلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ فَأَجْلَسَنَا عَلَى الْفُرُشِ ثُمَّ أُتِينَا بِالطَّعَامِ فَأَكَلْنَا ثُمَّ أُ
تِينَا بِالشَّرَابِ فَشَرِبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَ أَبِي ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا شَرِبْتُهُ مُنْذُ حَرَّمَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ كُنْتُ أَجْمَلَ شَبَابِ قُرَيْشٍ وَأَجْوَدَهُ ثَغْرًا وَمَا شَيْءٌ كُنْتُ أَجِدُ لَهُ لَذَّةً كَمَا كُنْتُ أَجِدُهُ وَأَنَا شَابٌّ غَيْرُ اللَّبَنِ أَوْ إِنْسَانٍ حَسَنِ الْحَدِيثِ يُحَدِّثُنِي

English Translation
It was narrated from Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he and his father visited Mu'awiyah, who seated them on cushions. Food was brought and they ate, then a drink was brought. Mu'awiyah drank, then offered it to Buraidah's father. His father said: 'I have not drunk it since the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited it.' Mu'awiyah said: 'I was the most handsome youth of Quraysh and the most pleasant-toothed; there was nothing I enjoyed more — while I was young — except milk, or a person of good conversation.'
