It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the command regarding the prohibition of wine was revealed, the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What will happen to our brothers who passed away before this prohibition and used to drink it? Upon this, the following verse was revealed: «‏‏‏‏﴿لَيْسَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَا طَعِمُوا﴾ [المائدة: 93] » "There is no blame upon those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they consumed (or drank) before." And when the command regarding the change of Qiblah was revealed, the people said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What will become of our companions who used to pray facing Bayt al-Maqdis and passed away in that state? Upon this, the following verse was revealed: «﴿وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَانَكُمْ﴾ [البقرة: 143] » "Allah is not one to waste your prayers."
