ذِكْرُ تَحْرِيمِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الْخَمْرَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ بَعْدَ أَنْ كَانَ مُبَاحًا لَهُمْ شُرْبُهُ

"Some people among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ died while they had been drinking Khamr. So when it was revealed that it was unlawful, some people among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'How about our companions who died while they were drinking it?' So (the following) Ayah was revealed: Those who believe and do righteous good deeds, there is no sin on them for what they ate (5:93)." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3051)   

ابن حبّان:٥٣٥١أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ السَّبِيعِيُّ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ

«مَاتَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُمْ يَشْرَبُونَ الْخَمْرَ فَلَمَّا حُرِّمَتْ قَالَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَيْفَ بِأَصْحَابِنَا مَاتُوا وَهُمْ يَشْرَبُونَهَا؟ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {لَيْسَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَا طَعِمُوا}»

"A man among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ died before Khamr had been made unlawful. So when Khamr was made unlawful, some men said: 'How about our companions who died while drinking Khamr?' So (the following) was revealed: Those who believe and do righteous good deeds, there is no sin on them for what the ate, if they have Taqwa and perform good (5:93)."  

Abū ʿĪsá said that this Ḥadīth is Ḥasan-Ṣaḥīḥ.

[Machine] When alcohol was prohibited, they said, "O Messenger of Allah, what about our companions who passed away while drinking it?" So Allah revealed, "There is no blame upon those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have eaten." [Surah Al-Ma'idah, 5:93]  

أحمد:٢٤٥٢حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنِ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

لَمَّا حُرِّمَتِ الْخَمْرُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَصْحَابُنَا الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا وَهُمْ يَشْرَبُونَهَا؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {لَيْسَ عَلَىالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَا طَعِمُوا} [المائدة 93]

[Machine] When the prohibition of alcohol was revealed, they said, "O Messenger of Allah, what about our brothers who have died while drinking it?" So the following verse was revealed, "There is no blame upon those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have eaten [in the past]" [Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:93], until the end of the verse.  

أحمد:٢٠٨٨حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

لَمَّا نَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُ الْخَمْرِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ بِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا وَهُمْ يَشْرَبُونَهَا؟ فَنَزَلَتْ {لَيْسَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُواوَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَا طَعِمُوا} [المائدة 93] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ
