[Machine] Uthman said, "Beware of wine, as it is the key to every evil." A man came and was told, "Either you break this book, or you kill this child, or you commit adultery with this woman, or you drink this cup, or you prostrate to the cross." He found nothing in them easier than drinking the cup, so when he drank it, he prostrated to the cross, and killed the soul, and committed adultery with the woman, and broke the book.  

قَالَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْخَمْرَ فَإِنَّهَا مِفْتَاحُ كُلِّ شَرٍّ أُتِيَ رَجُلٌ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِمَّا أَنْ تَخْرِقَ هَذَا الْكِتَابَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَقْتُلَ هَذَا الصَّبِيَّ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةِ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَشْرَبَ هَذَا الْكَاسَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِلصَّلِيبِ فَلَمْ يَرَ فِيهَا شَيْئًا أَهْوَنَ مِنْ شُرْبِ الْكَاسِ فَلَمَّا شَرِبَهَا سَجَدَ لِلصَّلِيبِ وَقَتَلَ النَّفْسَ وَوَقَعَ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ وَخَرَقَ الْكِتَابَ
