“Once abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked about wine. Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, sent me as mercy for the worlds.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‌ مَنْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ بَعْدَ مَا حَرَّمَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى لِسَانِي فَلَيْسَ بِأَهْلٍ أَنْ يُزَوَّجَ إِذَا خَطَبَ وَ لَا يُشَفَّعَ إِذَا شَفَعَ وَ لَا يُصَدَّقَ إِذَا حَدَّثَ وَ لَا يُؤْتَمَنَ عَلَى أَمَانَةٍ فَمَنِ ائْتَمَنَهُ بَعْدَ عِلْمِهِ فِيهِ فَلَيْسَ لِلَّذِي ائْتَمَنَهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ضَمَانٌ وَ لَا لَهُ أَجْرٌ وَ لَا خَلَفٌ.

“The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘If one drinks wine after Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has made it unlawful through my tongue, he does not deserve to receive acceptance to his marriage proposal. His intercession is

يُؤْتَى شَارِبُ الْخَمْرِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُسْوَدّاً وَجْهُهُ مُدْلِعاً لِسَانَهُ‌[1] يَسِيلُ لُعَابُهُ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ وَ حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يَسْقِيَهُ مِنْ طِينَةِ خَبَالٍ أَوْ قَالَ مِنْ بِئْرِ خَبَالٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ مَا بِئْرُ خَبَالٍ قَالَ بِئْرٌ يَسِيلُ فِيهَا صَدِيدُ الزُّنَاةِ[2].

The wine drinker on the Day of Judgment will be brought with his face all black, his tongue hanging down and his saliva flowing on his chest. It is a right on Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, to make him drink from tinah of Khabal or that he (the Imam) said, ‘from the well of Khabal’. I (the narrator) then asked, ‘

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‌ شَارِبُ الْخَمْرِ لَا يُعَادُ إِذَا مَرِضَ وَ لَا يُشْهَدُ لَهُ جَنَازَةٌ وَ لَا تُزَكُّوهُ إِذَا شَهِدَ وَ لَا تُزَوِّجُوهُ إِذَا خَطَبَ وَ لَا تَأْتَمِنُوهُ عَلَى أَمَانَةٍ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘The wine drinker must not be visited when he is sick. His funeral must not be attended, he must not be relied on when he testifies and must not be marri

“The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘If a wine drinker becomes ill do not visit him. If he dies do not attend his funeral, if he testifies do not rely his testimony, if he proposes marriage do not marry him and if he asks to t

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الْمَوْلُودُ يُولَدُ فَنَسْقِيهِ مِنَ الْخَمْرِ فَقَالَ مَنْ سَقَى مَوْلُوداً خَمْراً أَوْ قَالَ مُسْكِراً سَقَاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنَ الْحَمِيمِ وَ إِنْ غَفَرَ لَهُ.

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), if we can make a new born drink wine. He (the Imam) said, ‘If one makes a child drink wine’ or he said, ‘intoxicating liquor, Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, will make him drink al-Hamim (boiling water that roasts the face when drinking) of hell even if He forgives him.’”

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ‌ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَنْ شَرِبَ مُسْكِراً أَوْ سَقَاهُ صَبِيّاً لَا يَعْقِلُ سَقَيْتُهُ مِنْ مَاءِ الْحَمِيمِ مُعَذَّباً أَوْ مَغْفُوراً لَهُ وَ مَنْ تَرَكَ الْمُسْكِرَ ابْتِغَاءَ مَرْضَاتِي أَدْخَلْتُهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ سَقَيْتُهُ مِنَ الرَّحِيقِ الْمَخْتُومِ وَ فَعَلْتُ بِهِ مِنَ الْكَرَامَةِ مَا أَفْعَلُ بِأَوْلِيَائِي.

“I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, says, “If one drinks an intoxicating liquor or makes a child, who does not understand, to drink it, I will make him to drink al-Hamim, regardless of whether he will suffer punishment or will be forgiven. One who quits intoxicating substa

شَارِبُ الْخَمْرِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَأْتِي مُسْوَدّاً وَجْهُهُ مَائِلًا شِقُّهُ مُدْلِعاً لِسَانَهُ يُنَادِي الْعَطَشَ الْعَطَشَ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘On the Day of Judgment, the wine drinker will come with a black face, with his one-half bent and his tongue hanging out crying, “Thirsty, thirsty.’””

‘The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘If one drinks wine after Allah, most High, has made it unlawful through my tongue, he then does not deserve to be married if he proposes marriage. He is not considered truthful if he speaks

لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْخَمْرَ وَ عَاصِرَهَا وَ مُعْتَصِرَهَا وَ بَائِعَهَا وَ مُشْتَرِيَهَا وَ سَاقِيَهَا وَ آكِلَ ثَمَنِهَا وَ شَارِبَهَا وَ حَامِلَهَا وَ الْمَحْمُولَةَ إِلَيْهِ.

“The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has condemned wine. He has condemned those who squeeze the juice for it, those who want it be squeezed, those who sell it, those who buy it, those who serve it, those who receive payment for it, those

مَنْ شَرِبَ النَّبِيذَ عَلَى أَنَّهُ حَلَالٌ خُلِّدَ فِي النَّارِ وَ مَنْ شَرِبَهُ عَلَى أَنَّهُ حَرَامٌ عُذِّبَ فِي النَّارِ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If one drinks wine considering it lawful, he will be in hell forever, and one who drinks believing that it is unlawful will be punished in the fire.’”

شَارِبُ الْمُسْكِرِ لَا عِصْمَةَ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُ‌[3].

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Those who drink wine will not receive any protection from us.’”

مَنْ شَرِبَ الْمُسْكِرَ وَ مَاتَ وَ فِي‌ جَوْفِهِ مِنْهُ شَيْ‌ءٌ لَمْ يَتُبْ مِنْهُ بُعِثَ مِنْ قَبْرِهِ مُخَبَّلًا مَائِلًا شِدْقُهُ سَائِلًا لُعَابُهُ يَدْعُو بِالْوَيْلِ وَ الثُّبُورِ.

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘If one drinks intoxicating liquor and dies when there is something of wine inside him because of which he has not repented, he will be raised from his grave confused, his mouth bent to one side, his saliva flowing and crying woes and destruction.’”

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ مَنْ شَرِبَ مُسْكِراً كَانَ حَقّاً عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يَسْقِيَهُ مِنْ طِينَةِ خَبَالٍ قُلْتُ وَ مَا طِينَةُ خَبَالٍ فَقَالَ صَدِيدُ فُرُوجِ الْبَغَايَا.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If one drinks intoxicating liquor, it is a right on Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, to make him drink from tinah of Khabal.’ I asked, ‘What is it?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is puss from the vagina of fornicators.’”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‌ لَا أُصَلِّي عَلَى غَرِيقِ خَمْرٍ[1].

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘I do not perform Salat (prayer) on the dead body of one drowned in wine (a wine drinker).”’

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ يَا يُونُسَ بْنَ ظَبْيَانَ أَبْلِغْ عَطِيَّةَ عَنِّي أَنَّهُ مَنْ شَرِبَ جُرْعَةً مِنْ خَمْرٍ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَلَائِكَتُهُ وَ رُسُلُهُ وَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ فَإِنْ شَرِبَهَا حَتَّى يَسْكَرَ مِنْهَا نُزِعَ رُوحُ الْإِيمَانِ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ وَ رَكِبَتْ فِيهِ رُوحٌ سَخِيفَةٌ خَبِيثَةٌ مَلْعُونَةٌ فَيَتْرُكُ الصَّلَاةَ فَإِذَا تَرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ عَيَّرَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ قَا

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), once said to me, £ 0 Yunus ibn Zabayan, convey my words to ‘Atiyyah that if one drinks one sip of wine Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, condemns him and so also do His angels, His Messengers and the believing people. If he drinks until he becomes drunk, the spirit of belief is taken away fro

إِنَّ أَهْلَ الرِّيِ‌[1] فِي الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الْمُسْكِرِ يَمُوتُونَ عِطَاشاً وَ يُحْشَرُونَ عِطَاشاً وَ يَدْخُلُونَ النَّارَ عِطَاشاً.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘People who quench themselves with intoxicating liquors in this world, die thirsty, will be raised thirsty, and will be sent in the fire thirsty.’”

مِثْلَهُ وَ زَادَ فِيهِ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَحَلَ عَيْنَهُ بِمِيلٍ مِنْ خَمْرٍ كَانَ حَقِيقاً عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يَكْحُلَهُ بِمِيلٍ مِنْ نَارٍ.

‘If a man uses wine of an amount equal to the amount of the kohl (eyeliner) powder picked up by an kohl (eyeliner) powder applicator, it becomes a right on Allah to apply the same amount of kohl (eyeliner) of the fire on him.’”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‌ لَا يَنَالُ شَفَاعَتِي مَنِ اسْتَخَفَّ بِصَلَاتِهِ وَ لَا يَرِدُ عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا يَنَالُ شَفَاعَتِي مَنْ شَرِبَ الْمُسْكِرَ وَ لَا يَرِدُ عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ.
