Al-Dāraquṭnī recorded it (4/252/32) through two routes from Manṣūr, with this wording.

I say: This is an authentic chain of transmission; all its narrators are trustworthy and are among the narrators of the Sahih collections. Qazaʿah is Ibn Yaḥyā al-Baṣrī.

It also has a supporting mursal report, narrated by al-Awzāʿī: Muḥammad ibn Abī Mūsā told me that he heard al-Qāsim ibn Mukhaymirah relate that Abū Mūsā al-Ashʿarī, may Allah be pleased with him, brought the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, nabīdh prepared in a jar that was fermenting. He said: “Throw it against the wall ...” The rest of the hadith is similar.

It was recorded by Abū Yaʿlā (13/7259), Aḥmad (89/239), and al-Bayhaqī, who said: “Had it been possible to render it lawful by adding water to it, he would not have ordered it to be poured out. And Allah knows best.”

I say: Its chain is a strong mursal one, so the hadith gains further strength. Al-Nasāʾī indicated that he considered it authentic, for he said after it:

“This contains evidence that intoxicants are prohibited in both small and large amounts. It is not as those who deceive themselves claim, declaring the final draught forbidden while deeming lawful what precedes it—the large quantity consumed before it. There is no disagreement among the scholars that complete intoxication does not result from the final draught alone, independently of the first and second draughts. And success is granted by Allah.”

Abū al-Ḥasan al-Sindī al-Ḥanafī concurred with him in his marginal notes on it, saying:

“This is the position relied upon by our Ḥanafī scholars. The view that only the intoxicating draught is prohibited, while what precedes it is lawful, has been refuted by the verifying scholars, just as the compiler, may Allah Most High have mercy on him, refuted it.” *
