It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever drinks alcohol, his prayers are not accepted for forty days. Then if he repents, Allah accepts his repentance. If he drinks again, the same happens. (On the third or fourth time, he said:) Then it becomes incumbent upon Allah to make him drink the water of "Teenat al-Khabal." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is Teenat al-Khabal? He said: The pus of the people of Hell.
