[Machine] He stood as a preacher on the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , and praised and glorified Allah for a while, then he said: "Afterwards, surely, alcohol was prohibited on the day it was revealed. It is made from five things: grapes, dates, barley, wheat, and honey. And alcohol is that which intoxicates the mind. O people! I wish that the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , had not left us until he had given us a clear instruction about it. It is prohibited because of its being a source of disputes, idle talk, and a gateway to usurious transactions. I said: What do you think about the sixth one that is made from rice? If an ignorant person claims that a man has taken a sip from it and it caused his death, is it made from rice? He said: This was not during the time of the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , and if it was, he would have prohibited it. Don't you see that he has declared all intoxicants to be forbidden? He said: Alcohol is that which intoxicates the mind. Abu Bakr said that this confirms that the saying 'alcohol is that which intoxicates the mind' is the saying of the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ .
