ʿUmar delivered a sermon on the pulpit of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, saying, "Alcoholic drinks were prohibited by Divine Order, and these drinks used to be prepared from five things, i.e., grapes, dates, wheat, barley and honey. Alcoholic drink is that, that disturbs the mind." ʿUmar added, "I wish Allah's Apostle had not left us before he had given us definite verdicts concerning three matters, i.e., how much a grandfather may inherit (of his grandson), the inheritance of Al-Kalala (the deceased person among whose heirs there is no father or son), and various types of Riba(1 ) (usury) ."

خَطَبَ عُمَرُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ نَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُ الْخَمْرِ وَهْىَ مِنْ خَمْسَةِ أَشْيَاءَ الْعِنَبِ وَالتَّمْرِ وَالْحِنْطَةِ وَالشَّعِيرِ وَالْعَسَلِ وَالْخَمْرُ مَا خَامَرَ الْعَقْلَ وَثَلاَثٌ وَدِدْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يُفَارِقْنَا حَتَّى يَعْهَدَ إِلَيْنَا عَهْدًا الْجَدُّ وَالْكَلاَلَةُ وَأَبْوَابٌ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الرِّبَا قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا عَمْرٍو فَشَىْءٌ يُصْنَعُ بِالسِّنْدِ مِنَ الرُّزِّ قَالَ ذَاكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَوْ قَالَ عَلَى عَهْدِ عُمَرَ وَقَالَ حَجَّاجُ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ مَكَانَ الْعِنَبِ الزَّبِيبَ

[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 .

أَنَّهُ قَامَ خَطِيبًا عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَلَا وَإِنَّ الْخَمْرَ نَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُهَا يَوْمَ نَزَلَ وَهِيَ مِنْ خَمْسَةٍ مِنَ الْعِنَبِ وَالتَّمْرِ وَالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرِ وَالْعَسَلِ وَالْخَمْرُ مَا خَامَرَ الْعَقْلَ وَثَلَاثٌ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ وَدِدْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يُفَارِقْنَا حَتَّى يَعْهَدَ إِلَيْنَا فِيهَا عَهِدَ انْتُهِيَ إِلَيْهِ الْجَدُّ وَالْكَلَالَةُ وَأَبْوَابٌ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الرِّبَا فَقُلْتُ مَا تَرَى فِي السَّادِسَةِ تُصْنَعُ بِالسِّنْدِ يَدَّعِي الْجَاهِلُ يَشْرَبُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُ شَرْبَةً فَتَصْرَعُهُ يُصْنَعُ مِنَ الْأَرْزِ؟ قَالَ لَمْ يَكُنْ هَذَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَوْ كَانَ لَنَهَى عَنْهُ أَلَا تَرَى أَنَّهُ قَدْ عَمَّ الْأَشْرِبَةَ كُلَّهَا فَقَالَ الْخَمْرُ مَا خَامَرَ الْعَقْلَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِيهِ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّ قَوْلَهُ وَالْخَمْرُ مَا خَامَرَ الْعَقْلُ مِنْ قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ
