"I heard 'Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, say: 'Avoid Khamr for it is the mother of all evils. There was a man among those who came before you who was a devoted worshipper. An immoral woman fell in love with him. She sent her slave girl to him, saying: We are calling you to bear witness. So he set out with her slave girl, and every time he entered a door, she locked it behind him, until he reached a beautiful woman who has with her a boy and a vessel of wine. She said: 'By Allah, I did not call you to bear witness, rather I called you to have intercourse with me, or to drink a cup of this wine, or to kill this boy.' He said: 'Pour me a cup of this wine.' So she poured him a cup. He said: 'Give me more.' And soon he had intercourse with her and killed the boy. So avoid Khamr, for by Allah faith and addiction to Khamr cannot coexist but, one of them will soon expel the other."  

سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ ؓ يَقُولُ اجْتَنِبُوا الْخَمْرَ فَإِنَّهَا أُمُّ الْخَبَائِثِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ خَلاَ قَبْلَكُمْ تَعَبَّدَ فَعَلِقَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ غَوِيَّةٌ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ جَارِيَتَهَا فَقَالَتْ لَهُ إِنَّا نَدْعُوكَ لِلشَّهَادَةِ فَانْطَلَقَ مَعَ جَارِيَتِهَا فَطَفِقَتْ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ بَابًا أَغْلَقَتْهُ دُونَهُ حَتَّى أَفْضَى إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ وَضِيئَةٍ عِنْدَهَا غُلاَمٌ وَبَاطِيَةُ خَمْرٍ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا دَعَوْتُكَ لِلشَّهَادَةِ وَلَكِنْ دَعَوْتُكَ لِتَقَعَ عَلَىَّ أَوْ تَشْرَبَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْخَمْرَةِ كَأْسًا أَوْ تَقْتُلَ هَذَا الْغُلاَمَ قَالَ فَاسْقِينِي مِنْ هَذَا الْخَمْرِ كَأْسًا فَسَقَتْهُ كَأْسًا قَالَ زِيدُونِي فَلَمْ يَرِمْ حَتَّى وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا وَقَتَلَ النَّفْسَ فَاجْتَنِبُوا الْخَمْرَ فَإِنَّهَا وَاللَّهِ لاَ يَجْتَمِعُ الإِيمَانُ وَإِدْمَانُ الْخَمْرِ إِلاَّ لَيُوشِكُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «اجْتَنِبُوا أُمَّ الْخَبَائِثِ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ قَبْلَكُمْ يَتَعَبَّدُ وَيَعْتَزِلُ النَّاسَ فَعَلِقَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ خَادِمًا فَقَالَتْ إِنَّا نَدْعُوكَ لِشَهَادَةٍ فَدَخَلَ فَطَفِقَتْ كُلَّمَا يَدْخُلُ بَابًا أَغْلَقَتْهُ دُونَهُ حَتَّى أَفْضَى إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ وَضِيئَةٍ جَالِسَةٍ وَعِنْدَهَا غُلَامٌ وَبَاطِيَةٌ فِيهَا خَمْرٌ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّا لَمْ نَدْعُكَ لِشَهَادَةٍ وَلَكِنْ دَعَوْتُكَ لِتَقْتُلَ هَذَا الْغُلَامَ أَوْ تَقَعَ عَلَيَّ أَوْ تَشْرَبَ كَأْسًا مِنْ هَذَا الْخَمْرِ فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ صِحْتُ بِكَ وَفَضَحْتُكَ» قَالَ «فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَنَّهُ لَا بُدَّ لَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ اسْقِينِي كَأْسًا مِنْ هَذَا الْخَمْرِ فَسَقَتْهُ كَأْسًا مِنَ الْخَمْرِ فَقَالَ زِيدِينِي فَلَمْ يَزَلْ حَتَّى وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا وَقَتَلَ النَّفْسَ فَاجْتَنِبُوا الْخَمْرَ فَإِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ لَا يَجْتَمِعُ الْإِيمَانُ وَإِدْمَانُ الْخَمْرِ فِي صَدْرِ رَجُلٍ أَبَدًا لَيُوشِكَنَّ أَحَدُهُمَا يُخْرِجُ صَاحِبَهُ»  

[Machine] We invite you to testify, and he entered with it, so every time he entered a closed door behind him until he arrived at a woman who had a young boy and a wine bottle with her. She said, "By Allah, I did not invite you to testify, but I invited you to fall upon me or to kill this boy or to drink the wine." So she poured him a glass and he said, "Increase me." And he did not aim until he fell upon her and killed the soul. So avoid wine, for it never meets faith except that one of them is about to expel its companion.  

إِنَّا نَدْعُوكَ لِشَهَادَةٍ فَدَخَلَ مَعَهَا فَطَفِقَتْ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ بَابًا أَغْلَقَتْهُ دُونَهُ حَتَّى أَفْضَى إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ وَضِيئَةٍ عِنْدَهَا غُلَامٌ وَبَاطِيَةُ خَمْرٍ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا دَعَوْتُكَ لِشَهَادَةٍ وَلَكِنْ دَعَوْتُكَ لِتَقَعَ عَلَيَّ أَوْ تَقْتُلَ هَذَا الْغُلَامَ أَوْ تَشْرَبَ الْخَمْرَ فَسَقَتْهُ كَأْسًا فَقَالَ زِيدُونِي فَلَمْ يَرُمْ حَتَّى وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا وَقَتَلَ النَّفْسَ فَاجْتَنِبُوا الْخَمْرَ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَجْتَمِعُ هِيَ وَالْإِيمَانُ أَبَدًا إِلَّا أَوْشَكَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَنْ يُخْرِجَ صَاحِبَهُ  

"عن عبد الرحمن بن الحرث قال: سمعت عثمان يقول: اجتنبوا الخمر فإنها أم الخبائث، إنه كان رجل ممن خلا قبلكم يتعبد ويعتزل الناس، فعلقته امرأة غوية فأرسلت إليه جاريتها فقالت له: إنا ندعوك للشهادة، فانطلق مع جاريتها، فطفقت كلما دخل بابًا أغلقته دونه، حتى أفضى إلى امرأة وضيئة عندها غلام وباطية (*) خمر فقالت: إنى والله ما دعوتك لشهادة ولكنى دعوتك لتقع على، أو تشرب من هذه الخمر كَأسًا أو تقتل هذا الغلام، قال: فاسقينى من هذا الخمر كأسا، فسقته كأسا فقال: زيدينى، فلم يرم حتى وقع عليها وقتل النفس، فاجتنبوا الخمر، فإنها والله لا تجمع والإيمان أبدا إلا أوشك أحدهما أن يخرج صاحبه".
