It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: When the prohibition of wine was revealed, the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went to one another and said: "Wine has been made forbidden, and it has been made equal to shirk (associating partners with Allah)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Thabit bin Yazid al-Khawlani that he had an uncle who used to sell wine and give its price in charity. I forbade him from this, but he did not desist. Then I came to Madinah and met Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both). I asked him about wine and its price, and he said: "It is forbidden, and its price is also forbidden." Then he said: "O community of the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! If there were to be another Book after your Book, or another Prophet after your Prophet, rulings would have been revealed concerning you just as they were revealed for those before you; but this matter of yours has been deferred until the Day of Resurrection, and by my life, that is more severe for you." The narrator says: I refused (to accept my uncle's position). Then I met Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and asked him about the price of wine. He said: "I will tell you about wine. I was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the mosque. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting in the particular posture with his knees drawn up to his stomach and a cloth wrapped around them (muhtabi), when he (peace and blessings be upon him) undid that wrap (hubwah) and said: 'Whoever has any of this wine, let him inform me of it.' So the people began coming to him (peace and blessings be upon him). One would say: 'I have a large container (rawiyah) of wine'; another would say: 'I have a jar'; and another would say: 'I have a large leather waterskin (ziqq)', or whatever they had. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Gather it at such-and-such a place in al-Baqi', then inform me.' They did so and then told him (peace and blessings be upon him). (Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says:) I got up and he (peace and blessings be upon him) walked leaning on me. Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) met us, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of me and moved me to his left, and put Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) in my place (on the right). Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) met us, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of me and moved me to his left, and walked between the two of them, until, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) reached the stock of wine, he asked the people: 'Do you recognise this?' They said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah! This is wine.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'You have spoken the truth.' Then he said: 'Indeed, Allah Almighty has cursed wine, the one who presses it ('asiruha), the one for whom it is pressed (mu'tasiruha), the one who drinks it, the one who serves it, the one who carries it and the one to whom it is carried, the one who sells it, the one who buys it and the one who consumes its price.' Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) called for a knife and said: 'Sharpen it.' They did so, and then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took it and began to slit the waterskins. The people said: 'There is benefit in these waterskins (that is, the empty skins could be of use).' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Yes! But I am doing all this out of anger for the sake of Allah, because in it (the wine) is Allah's displeasure.' Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'O Messenger of Allah! I will do this for you.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'No.'" (The narrator says:) Some narrators have added some words over others in this hadith. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Jibril (peace be upon him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! Indeed, Allah Almighty has cursed wine, the one who presses it, the one for whom it is pressed, the one who carries it, the one to whom it is carried, the one who drinks it, the one who sells it, the one who buys it, the one who serves it and the one to whom it is served." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever drinks wine in this world will be deprived of it in the Hereafter." This is a sahih (authentic) and gharib (singular) hadith through the narration of Shu'bah, and the two Shaykhs agreed, on this topic, on the hadith of Ubaydullah bin Umar and Ibn Jurayj narrated from Nafi'.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Avoid wine, for it is the key to every evil." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever drinks wine and becomes intoxicated by it, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days. Then if he drinks it again until he becomes intoxicated, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days. Then if he drinks it a third time and becomes intoxicated, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days. And if he drinks it a fourth time and becomes intoxicated, it is a right upon Allah Almighty that He make him drink from 'Ayn al-Khabal.'" It was asked: "What is 'Khabal'?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The pus of the people of the Fire (the inhabitants of Hell)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever abandons the prayer once while intoxicated, it is as though he possessed the whole world and everything on it and it was snatched away from him; and whoever abandons the prayer four times while intoxicated, it is a right upon Allah Almighty that He make him drink 'Tinat al-Khabal'." It was asked: What is 'Tinat al-Khabal'? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The drippings of the people of Hell (blood and pus)." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Three people will not enter Paradise: the one addicted to wine, the one who severs ties of kinship, and the one who believes in magic; and whoever dies addicted to wine, Allah will make him drink from 'Nahr al-Ghutah'." It was asked: What is 'Nahr al-Ghutah'? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is a river that flows from the private parts of fornicating women; the stench of their private parts will torment the people of the Fire." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are three kinds of people whom Allah Almighty will not look at (with mercy) on the Day of Resurrection: the one disobedient to his parents, the one addicted to wine, and the one who reminds others of the favours he has given." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Salim bin Abdullah narrates from his father that after the passing of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab and some other Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) sat together in a gathering and began discussing the greatest of the major sins, but they had no definite knowledge on the matter upon which they could settle. So they sent me to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) to ask him about it, and he told me that the greatest of the major sins is drinking wine. I came back and told them, but they rejected this, and all of them set off together towards his house until they reached him. Then he told them that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "One of the kings of the Children of Israel seized a man and gave him the choice either to drink wine, or to kill someone, or to commit fornication, or to eat the flesh of swine, or else, if he refused, they would kill him. The man chose to drink wine, but when he had drunk it, he did not refuse anything that they demanded of him (that is, he committed all the sins)"; and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to us in reply: "Whoever drinks it, Allah Almighty does not accept his prayer for forty nights; and he does not die with any of that wine in his bladder except that Paradise is made forbidden to him because of it; and if he dies within those forty nights, he dies the death of Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic ignorance)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
