It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about "bit‘" (a drink made from honey), so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every intoxicating drink is forbidden."

Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me and Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) towards Yemen and said: "Drink anything you wish, but do not drink anything intoxicating, for every intoxicant is forbidden."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“I forbid you from drinking even a little of that intoxicant, the excessive use of which causes intoxication.”

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that the very first thing that will be overturned... The narrator Zaid bin Yahya said: It is Islam, just as a vessel is turned upside down. What is meant is wine (i.e., people will start drinking it again). It was asked: How will this happen, O Messenger of Allah, when Allah the Exalted has made its ruling absolutely clear? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They will give it other names and in this way, they will make wine lawful."

Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "At the beginning of your religion (the system of governance) will be Prophethood and mercy, then kingship and mercy, then kingship like clay, then royal dictatorship in which wine and silk will be considered lawful." Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked about 'af'ar, so he said: It is like clay in which there is no good.
