“Alcoholic drinks were prohibited at the time we could rarely find wine made from grapes in Medina,
for most of our liquors were made from unripe and ripe dates.

`Umar stood up on the pulpit and said, “Now then, prohibition of alcoholic drinks have been revealed,
and these drinks are prepared from five things, i.e.. grapes, dates, honey, wheat or barley And an
alcoholic drink is that, that disturbs the mind.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “An adulterer, at the time he is committing illegal sexual intercourse is not a
believer; and a person, at the time of drinking an alcoholic drink is not a believer; and a thief, at the
time of stealing, is not a believer.” Ibn Shihab said: `Abdul Malik bin Abi Bakr bin `Abdur-Rahman
bin Al- Harith bin Hisham told me that Abu Bakr used to narrate that narration to him on the authority
of Abu Huraira. He used to add that Abu Bakr used to mention, besides the above cases, “And he who
robs (takes illegally something by force) while the people are looking at him, is not a believer at the
time he is robbing (taking).

On the night Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was taken on a night journey (Miraj) two cups, one containing wine and
the other milk, were presented to him at Jerusalem. He looked at it and took the cup of milk. Gabriel
said, “Praise be to Allah Who guided you to Al-Fitra (the right path); if you had taken (the cup of)
wine, your nation would have gone astray.”

I heard from Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) a narration which none other than I will narrate to you. The Prophet, said,
“From among the portents of the our are the following: General ignorance (in religious affairs) will
prevail, (religious) knowledge will decrease, illegal sexual intercourse will prevail, alcoholic drinks
will be drunk (in abundance), men will decrease and women will increase so much so that for every
fifty women there will be one man to look after them.”

(in continuation of above). Then I witnessed (the ‘Its) with `Ali bin Abi Talib, and he too offered the `Id prayer before the sermon
and then delivered the sermon before the people and said, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) has forbidden you to eat
the meat of your sacrifices for more than three days.”

`Abdullah bin `Umar said, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Eat of the meat of sacrifices (of `Id al Adha) for
three days.” When `Abdullah departed from Mina, he used to eat (bread with) oil, lest he should eat of
the meat of Hadi (which is regarded as unlawful after the three days of the `Id).

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Whoever drinks alcoholic drinks in the world and does not repent (before
dying), will be deprived of it in the Hereafter.”

We used to salt some of the meat of sacrifice and present it to the Prophet (ﷺ) at Medina. Once he said,
“Do not eat (of that meat) for more than three days.” That was not a final order, but (that year) he
wanted us to feed of it to others, Allah knows better.

the freed slave of Ibn Azhar that he witnessed the Day of `Id-al-Adha with `Umar bin Al-Khattab.
`Umar offered the `Id prayer before the sermon and then delivered the sermon before the people,
saying, “O people! Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) has forbidden you to fast (on the first day of) each of these two
‘Ida, for one of them is the Day of breaking your fast, and the other is the one, on which you eat the
meat of your sacrifices.”
