1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and a number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad all from ibn Mahbub from Khalid ibn Jarir from abu al-Rabi’ al-Shamiy who has said the following: “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. (Allah sent me) to eradicate playing tools, musical pipes and matters of the age of darkness, ignorance and idols.’ He (the Messenger of Allah) has said, ‘My Lord swears and says, “If any of My servants in the world drinks wine I will make him drink al-Hamim (boiling water of hell, that roasts the face when drinking) on the Day of Judgment, regardless of whether he will be made to suffer or will be forgiven. If anyone makes a child to drink wine or a slave, I will make him drink the same amount of al-Hamim, regardless of whether he will be made to suffer or will be forgiven.’” 

ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ الشَّامِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) 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 .

2. Ibn Mahbub has narrated from Khalid ibn Jarir from abu al-Rabi’ al-Shamiy who has said the following: “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 not accepted. He is not considered truthful when speaking and is not trusted about a trust. If one trusts him after knowing his condition, he has no guarantee from Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, or reward or replacement and compensation.’”

3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ‘Amr ibn ‘Uthman from al-Husayn ibn Sadir from his father who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘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, ‘What is well of Khabal ?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is a well in which the puss from the bottom of fornicators flows.’” 

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) 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 .

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from certain persons of his people who has said the following: “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 married when he proposes for marriage. You must not trust him about a trust.’” 

أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) شَارِبُ الْخَمْرِ إِنْ مَرِضَ فَلَا تَعُودُوهُ وَ إِنْ مَاتَ فَلَا تَحْضُرُوهُ وَ إِنْ شَهِدَ فَلَا تُزَكُّوهُ وَ إِنْ خَطَبَ فَلَا تُزَوِّجُوهُ وَ إِنْ سَأَلَكُمْ أَمَانَةً فَلَا تَأْتَمِنُوهُ .

5. Abu Ali al-Ash‘ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from al-‘Ala’ from certain persons of our people who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has stated this Hadith. “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 trust him about a trust do not trust him.’”

6. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Fadalah abu Ayyub from Bashir al- Hudhaliy from ‘Ajlan abu Salih who has said the following: “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.’”

7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Flafs ibn al-Bakhtariy and Durust and Flisham ibn Salim all from ‘Ajlan abu Salih who has said the following: “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 substances for My sake I will admit him in the garden (paradises) and give him sealed Rahiq (exquisite nectar in a sealed container) for a drink and will honor him as I will honor my friends.’”

8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Fadl from certain persons of his people who has said the following: “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.’””

9. Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad ibn Sama‘ah from more than one person from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from Flammad ibn Bashir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has stated this Hadith. ‘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, his intercession is not accepted and he is not trusted about a trust. If one trusts him about a trust and he missappropriates it or loses it, then the one who has trusted him will have no reward with Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, or replacement or compensation.’ “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘I once visited abu Ja‘far (a.s.), and said, ‘I like to give a certain amount of asset to so and so to buy for me certain goods from Yemen.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Do you not know that he drinks wine?’ I replied, ‘I have heard from believing people who say so.’ He (the Imam) said to me, ‘You must believe them because Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, says, “. . . he believes in Allah and in the believing people.’” He (the Imam) then said, ‘If you give a certain amount of assets and it is destroyed or lost, you will not have any reward or compensation for it with Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious. For example, you give him your asset and he loses it. You then pray to Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, for reward.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Never, my son, Allah will not reward you or compensate you for such loss.’ He (the Imam) has said, ‘I asked him (the Imam), ‘Why is it so?’ He (the Imam) said to me, ‘Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, says, “Do not give to the dimwitted ones your assets which Allah has given you for your sustenance,” (4:5) do you see anyone more dimwitted than a wine drinker?’ He (the Imam) has said that he (the Imam) said, ‘A servant has a chance before Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, until he drinks wine. When he drinks wine Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, tears down his covering, then Satan, may Allah condemn him, becomes his guardian and brother, his ears, his eyes, his hands, his legs and he drives him to all misguidance and turns him away from all good things.”’

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 who drink it, those who carry it for delivery and those to whom it is delivered.’”

16. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Bakr ibn Salih from al-Shaybaniy from Yunus ibn Zabayan who has said the following: “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 from his body and a filthy condemned spirit rides him. He then stops performing Salat (prayer). When he stops performing Salat (prayer) the angels scold him and Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, says to him, ‘My servant, you have disbelieved and the angels have scolded you because of your evilness, My servant.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), then said, ‘It is evil, an evil that is real. By Allah, it is a great scolding, His name is glorious, His scolding of one hour is more severe than suffering for one thousand years.’ He (the narrator) has said that abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), then said, ‘. . . they are condemned wherever they live, they are taken and killed entirely.’ (33:61) He (the Imam) then said, ‘O Yunus, condemned is one who overlooks the command of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious. If he goes on land, he is destroyed and if he goes in the sea, he is drowned. He is subjected to anger because of the anger of the glorious One whose name is majestic.’”

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) 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 .

No, by Allah my intercession will not apply to those who drink intoxicating liquor and will not be able to come to me on the pond, no, by Allah (it will not happen).”’
