سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ: مُدْمِنُ الْخَمْرِ كَعَابِدِ وَثَنٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ وَ مَا الْمُدْمِنُ قَالَ الَّذِي إِذَا وَجَدَهَا شَرِبَهَا.
‘A wine addict is like an idol worshipper.’ I (the narrator) then asked, ‘What is a ‘Mudmin’?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He is one who drinks whenever he finds.’”
لَيْسَ مُدْمِنُ الْخَمْرِ الَّذِي يَشْرَبُهَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَكِنِ الَّذِي يُوَطِّنُ نَفْسَهُ أَنَّهُ إِذَا وَجَدَهَا شَرِبَهَا.
“We once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘A wine addict is not one who drinks every day, he however, is one who settles his soul upon drinking it whenever he finds it.’”
مُدْمِنُ الْمُسْكِرِ الَّذِي إِذَا وَجَدَهُ شَرِبَهُ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘A wine addict is one who drinks whenever he finds.’”
