[Machine] He called some of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ among them Ali ibn Abi Talib, and he recited the verse: "Say, O disbelievers, I do not worship what you worship" [Al-Kafirun: 2] and we worship what you worship. So Allah revealed: "O you who have believed, do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated until you know what you are saying" [An-Nisa: 43]. "All of these chains (of narration) are authentic and the ruling is based on the hadith of Sufyan Ath-Thawri, for he is the most reliable narrator among everyone who narrated it from Ata' ibn As-Sa'ib."  

فَدَعَا نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيهِمْ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَرَأَ {قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ لَا أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ} [الكافرون 2] وَنَحْنُ عَابِدُونَ مَا عَبَدْتُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُكَارَى حَتَّى تَعَلَّمُوا مَا تَقُولُونَ} [النساء 43] «هَذِهِ الْأَسَانِيدُ كُلُّهَا صَحِيحَةُ وَالْحُكْمُ لِحَدِيثِ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ فَإِنَّهُ أَحْفَظُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ»  

[Machine] The caller of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say when he stood up for prayer: "Do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated." [Surah An-Nisa 43]  

كَانَ مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ {لَا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُكَارَى} [النساء 43]  

[Machine] "O Allah, make it clear to us about alcohol, so the verse was revealed: 'O you who have believed, do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated until you know what you are saying' (Quran 4:43) until the end of the verse. The Prophet ﷺ called upon Umar and recited it to him as if he had not heard it before. Then he said, 'O Allah, make it clear to us about alcohol', so the verse was revealed: 'They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, 'In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit'' (Quran 2:219). The Prophet ﷺ called upon Umar and recited it to him as if he had not heard it before. Then he said, 'O Allah, make it clear to us about alcohol', so the verse was revealed: 'O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone altars [to other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it' (Quran 5:90) until 'Are you then desisting?' (Quran 5:91). Umar said, 'We have desisted, O Lord.'"  

عُمَرُ اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ لَنَا فِي الْخَمْرِ فَنَزَلَتْ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُكَارَى حَتَّى تَعَلَّمُوا مَا تَقُولُونَ} [النساء 43] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ «فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عُمَرَ فَتَلَاهَا عَلَيْهِ» فَكَأَنَّهَا لَمْ تُوَافِقْ مِنْ عُمَرَ الَّذِي أَرَادَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ لَنَا فِي الْخَمْرِ فَنَزَلَتْ {يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ قُلْ فِيهِمَا إِثْمٌ كَبِيرٌ وَمَنَافِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَإِثْمُهُمَا أَكْبَرُ مِنْ نَفْعِهِمَا} [البقرة 219] «فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عُمَرَ فَتَلَاهَا عَلَيْهِ» فَكَأَنَّهَا لَمْ تُوَافِقْ مِنْ عُمَرَ الَّذِي أَرَادَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ لَنَا فِي الْخَمْرِ فَنَزَلَتْ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالْأَنْصَابُ وَالْأَزْلَامُ رِجْسٌ مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ} [المائدة 90] حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُنْتَهُونَ} [المائدة 91] «فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عُمَرَ فَتَلَاهَا عَلَيْهِ» فَقَالَ عُمَرُ انْتَهَيْنَا يَا رَبِّ  

"They (the Companions) said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how do you hold those who died while they were drinking Khamr - considering that the prohibition of intoxicants is now revealed?' So, (the following) Ayah was revealed: "Those who believe and do righteous good deeds, there is no sin on them for what they ate (in the past), if they fear Allah and believe and do righteous good deeds." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3052)   

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ تَحْرِيمُ الْخَمْرِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ إِخْوَانُنَا الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا وَهُمْ يَشْرَبُونَهَا؟ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ {لَيْسَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَا طَعِمُوا} [المائدة 93] «الْآيَةَ»  

[Machine] The Jews said, "Are not your brothers who have died, those who used to drink it?" So Allah revealed, {There is no blame upon those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have eaten} [Al-Maidah: 93]. So the Prophet ﷺ said, "It was said to me that you are one of them."  

قَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ أَلَيْسَ إِخْوَانُكُمُ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا كَانُوا يَشْرَبُونَهَا؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {لَيْسَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتٍ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَا طَعِمُوا} [المائدة 93] فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «قِيلَ لِي أَنْتَ مِنْهُمْ»  

[Machine] When the prohibition of alcohol was revealed, some companions of the Prophet ﷺ walked to each other and said, "Alcohol has been prohibited and it has been made unlawful for partnership."  

لَمَّا نَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُ الْخَمْرِ مَشَى أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ وَقَالُوا حُرِّمَتِ الْخَمْرُ وَجُعِلَتْ عِدْلًا لِلشِّرْكِ  

[Machine] "He had an uncle who used to sell alcohol, but he would give the proceeds in charity. I forbade him from doing so, but he did not stop. So, I went to the city and met Ibn Abbas and asked him about alcohol and its price. He said, 'It is forbidden, and its price is also forbidden.' Then he said, 'O people of Muhammad's nation, if there was a book after your book or a prophet after your prophet, there would have been revelations sent to you, just as it was sent to those before you. But this matter has been postponed from your affairs until the Day of Judgment, and I swear by Allah, it is more difficult for you.'" (Sahih Bukhari)  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ عَمٌّ يَبِيعُ الْخَمْرَ وَكَانَ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِثَمَنِهِ فَنَهَيْتُهُ عَنْهَا فَلَمْ يَنْتَهِ فَقَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَلَقِيتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ وَثَمَنِهَا فَقَالَ «هِيَ حَرَامٌ وَثَمَنُهَا حَرَامٌ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ إِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ كِتَابٌ بَعْدَ كِتَابِكُمْ أَوْ نَبِيٌّ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّكُمْ لَأُنْزِلَ فِيكُمْ كَمَا أُنْزِلَ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ وَلَكِنْ أُخِّرَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَمْرِكُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَعَمْرِي لَهُوَ أَشَدُّ عَلَيْكُمْ» صحيح  

[Machine] "He (Abdullah ibn Abbas) heard him (the Prophet Muhammad) saying: Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that Jibril came to him and said, 'O Muhammad, indeed Allah has cursed alcohol and the one who drinks it, serves it, squeezes it (juice from grapes), carries it, the one to whom it is carried, sells it, buys it, offers it to others, and the one to whom it is offered.'"  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَعَنَ الْخَمْرَ وَعَاصِرَهَا وَمُعْتَصِرَهَا وَحَامِلَهَا وَالْمَحْمُولَةَ إِلَيْهِ وَشَارِبَهَا وَبَايِعَهَا وَمُبْتَاعَهَا وَسَاقِيَهَا وَمُسْقَاهَا  

“Whoever drinks wine in this world, he will not drink it in the Hereafter.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3374)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ فِي الدُّنْيَا لَمْ يَشْرَبْهَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Avoid alcohol, as it is the key to every evil." This hadith has an authentic chain of narration, and it has not been excluded from the authentic collections.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اجْتَنِبُوا الْخَمْرَ فَإِنَّهَا مِفْتَاحُ كُلِّ شَرٍّ» صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ صحيح  

[Machine] The messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever drinks wine and becomes intoxicated by it, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days. If he drinks it again until he becomes intoxicated, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days. If he drinks it a third time until he becomes intoxicated, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days. If he drinks it a fourth time and becomes intoxicated, then it is rightful for Allah to make him drink from the pus of Hell."

It was asked, "What is the pus of Hell?" He ﷺ said, "It is the discharge of the people of Hell."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ فَسَكِرَ مِنْهَا لَمْ تُقْبَلْ لَهُ صَلَاةٌ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ إِنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهَا حَتَّى يَسْكَرَ مِنْهَا لَمْ تُقْبَلْ لَهُ صَلَاةٌ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ إِنْ شَرِبَهَا فَسَكِرَ مِنْهَا لَمْ تُقْبَلْ لَهُ صَلَاةٌ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ إِنْ شَرِبَهَا الرَّابِعَةَ فَسَكِرَ مِنْهَا كَانَ حَقًّا عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُسْقِيَهُ مِنْ عَيْنِ الْخَبَالِ» قِيلَ وَمَا عَيْنُ الْخَبَالِ؟ قَالَ «صَدِيدُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever abandons the prayer while drunk once, it is as if he has lost this world and what is in it. Whoever abandons the prayer while drunk four times, it is the right of Allah the Almighty to make him drink the essence of Al-Khabal (a foul fluid). It was asked, 'What is the essence of Al-Khabal?' He ﷺ said, 'It is the essence of the people of Hellfire.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ تَرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ سَكَرًا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَكَأَنَّمَا كَانَتْ لَهُ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا عَلَيْهَا فَسُلِبَهَا وَمَنْ تَرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ سَكَرًا كَانَ حَقًّا عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى أَنْ يُسْقِيَهُ مِنْ طِينَةِ الْخَبَالِ» قِيلَ وَمَا طِينَةُ الْخَبَالِ؟ قَالَ «عُصَارَةُ أَهْلِ جَهَنَّمَ»  

[Machine] Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ said: "There are three types of people who will not enter Paradise: the habitual drinker of alcohol, the one who cuts off ties of kinship, and the one who believes in magic. And whoever dies as a habitual drinker of alcohol, Allah will feed him from the river of Ghautah." It was asked, "What is the river of Ghautah?" He replied, "It is a river that flows from the private parts of the adulterers, causing harm to the people of Hellfire through the foul smell emitting from their private parts."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ مُدْمِنُ الْخَمْرِ وَقَاطِعُ الرَّحِمِ وَمُصَدِّقٌ بِالسِّحْرِ وَمَنْ مَاتَ مُدْمِنَ الْخَمْرِ سَقَاهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ نَهْرِ الْغُوطَةِ قِيلَ وَمَا نَهْرُ الْغَوْطَةِ؟ قَالَ «نَهْرٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ فُرُوجِ الْمُومِسَاتِ يُؤْذِي أَهْلَ النَّارِ رِيحُ فُرُوجِهِمْ»  

[Machine] "From the Prophet ﷺ, he said: There are three types of people whom Allah will not look at on the Day of Judgment: an disobedient child to their parents, a habitual drinker of alcohol, and someone who gives to others expecting something in return."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا يَنْظُرُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَاقٌّ وَالِدَيْهِ وَمُدْمِنُ الْخَمْرِ وَمَنَّانٌ بِمَا أَعْطَى  

[Machine] Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, Umar ibn Al-Khattab, and some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sat together after the death of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. They discussed the greatest sins, but they did not have knowledge about them. So, they sent me to Abdullah ibn Amr to ask him about it. He informed me that the greatest of sins is drinking alcohol. I went back to them and informed them, but they denied it and disputed with me until they went to Abdullah ibn Amr's house. I informed him about their denial, and he told them that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, "There was a man from the Children of Israel who was given the choice to either drink alcohol, kill someone, commit adultery, eat pork, or be killed. If he refused, they would kill him. So, he chose to drink alcohol. After he drank it, he did not refrain from anything they wanted from him." The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, also said to us, "Anyone who drinks alcohol, Allah will not accept his prayer for forty nights, and if he dies within forty nights, he will die the way a pre-Islamic pagan dies."  

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ وَعُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ وَنَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَلَسُوا بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرُوا أَعْظَمَ الْكَبَائِرِ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُمْ فِيهَا عِلْمٌ يَنْتَهُونَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَرْسَلُونِي إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ أَعْظَمَ الْكَبَائِرِ شُرْبُ الْخَمْرِ فَأَتَيْتُهُمْ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ فَأَنْكَرُوا ذَلِكَ وَوَثَبُوا إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعًا حَتَّى أَتَوْهُ فِي دَارِهِ فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ مَلِكًا مِنْ مُلُوكِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَخَذَ رَجُلًا فَخَيَّرَهُ بَيْنَ أَنْ يَشْرَبَ الْخَمْرَ أَوْ يَقْتُلَ نَفْسًا أَوْ يَزْنِيَ أَوْ يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ أَوْ يَقْتُلُوهُ إِنْ أَبَى فَاخْتَارَ أَنْ يَشْرَبَ الْخَمْرَ وَأَنَّهُ لَمَّا شَرِبَهَا لَمْ يَمْتَنِعْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ أَرَادُوهُ مِنْهُ» وَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَنَا مُجِيبًا «مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَشْرَبُهَا فَيَقْبَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَلَاةً أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً وَلَا يَمُوتُ وَفِي مَثَانَتِهِ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ إِلَّا حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْهِ بِهَا الْجَنَّةُ فَإِنْ مَاتَ فِي أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً مَاتَ مَيْتَةً جَاهِلِيَّةً»  

[Machine] Abu Muslim Al-Khawlanii performed Hajj and visited Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, who asked him about Sham (Syria) and its cold weather. He informed her about it, and she asked how they could endure such cold. He replied, "O Mother of the Believers, they drink a special drink called Al-Tala." She said, "May Allah be truthful and may my love for the Prophet ﷺ reach Him." I heard him say, "Some people from my Ummah drink alcohol without calling it by its proper name."  

أَنَّ أَبَا مُسْلِمٍ الْخَوْلَانِيَّ حَجَّ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَعَلَتْ تَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الشَّامِ وَعَنْ بَرْدِهَا فَجَعَلَ يُخْبِرُهَا فَقَالَتْ كَيْفَ يَصْبِرُونَ عَلَى بَرْدِهَا؟ قَالَ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّهُمْ يَشْرَبُونَ شَرَابًا لَهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ الطَّلَا قَالَتْ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَبَلَّغَ حُبِّي ﷺ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَشْرَبُونَ الْخَمْرَ يُسَمُّونَهَا بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهَا»  

[Machine] About Maryam bint Tariq, a woman from her people said, "I was among a group of immigrant women who performed Hajj. We entered upon Aisha, the mother of the believers. She said, the women started asking her about certain matters. She said, 'O women, indeed you remember some matters that were numerous during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . So, fear Allah and avoid what intoxicates you, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Every intoxicant is prohibited, and if a large quantity of anything causes intoxication, a small amount of it is also prohibited.'"  

عَنْ مَرْيَمَ بِنْتِ طَارِقٍ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ قَالَتْ كُنْتُ فِي نِسْوَةٍ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ الْمُهَاجِرَاتِ حَجَجْنَا فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَتْ فَجَعَلَ النِّسَاءُ يَسْأَلْنَهَا عَنِ الظُّرُوفِ فَقَالَتْ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ إِنَّكُنَّ لَتَذْكُرْنَ ظُرُوفًا مَا كَانَ كَثِيرٌ مِنْهَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاتَّقِينَ اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبْنَ مَا يُسْكِرُكُنَّ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ وَإِنْ أَسْكَرَ مَاءُ حِبِّهَا فَلْتَجْتَنِبَنَّهُ»  

“From wheat comes wine, from barley comes wine, from raisins comes wine, from dates comes wine and from honey comes wine.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3379)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ مِنَ الْحِنْطَةِ خَمْرًا وَمِنَ الشَّعِيرِ خَمْرًا وَمِنَ الزَّبِيبِ خَمْرًا وَمِنَ التَّمْرِ خَمْرًا وَمِنَ الْعَسَلِ خَمْرًا وَأَنَا أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ كُلِّ مُسْكِرٍ»
