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."

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." Mamar, Ibn-e-Al Haad, Uthman bin Umer, and Zubaidi reported the same from Zuhri.

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."

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 رضی اللہ عنہ used to narrate that narration to him on the authority of Abu Huraira رضی اللہ عنہ . He used to add that Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ 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).

"Alcoholic drinks were prohibited (by Allah) when there was nothing of it (special kind of wine) in Medina.

"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 رضی اللہ عنہ 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.

I was serving Abu 'Ubaida, Abu Talha and Ubai bin Ka`b رضی اللہ عنہم with a drink prepared from ripe and unripe dates. Then somebody came to them and said, "Alcoholic drinks have been prohibited." (On hearing that) Abu Talha رضی اللہ عنہ said, "Get up. O Anas, and pour (throw) it out! So I poured (threw) it out.

I, standing by a tribe, was serving my uncles wine and was the youngest of them all. It was said then: Wine has been forbidden. The people, whereupon, said: Spill it, so I spilled it. The reporter says that he inquired of Hadrat Anas رضی اللہ عنہ: What was their wine made of? He replisd; Fresh and dry dates. Abu Bakr bin Anas رضی اللہ عنہ said: It was their wine but Hadrat Anas رضی اللہ عنہ did not deny it. Some of my companions narrated it to me that they heard Hadrat Anas رضی اللہ عنہ say: This was their wine then.

Alcoholic drinks were prohibited. At that time these drinks used to be prepared from unripe and ripe dates.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was asked about Al-Bit. He said, "All drinks that intoxicate are unlawful (to drink.)

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was asked about Al-Bit a liquor prepared from honey which the Yemenites used to drink. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "All drinks that intoxicate are unlawful (to drink)."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Do not make drinks in Ad-Dubba' nor in Al-Muzaffat. Abu Huraira رضی اللہ عنہ used to add to them Al-Hantam and An-Naqir.

`Umar delivered a sermon on the pulpit of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), saying, "Alcoholic drinks were prohibited by Divine Order, and these drinks used to be prepared from five things, i.e., grapes, dates, wheat, barley and honey. Alcoholic drink is that, that disturbs the mind." `Umar added, "I wish Allah's Apostle had not left us before he had given us definite verdicts concerning three matters, i.e., how much a grandfather may inherit (of his grandson), the inheritance of Al-Kalala (the deceased person among whose heirs there is no father or son), and various types of Riba(1 ) (usury) .'' Abu Hayyan asked Shabi. O Abu Amr! In sindh, some people prepare wine from rice. He, Thereupon, said: It was not prepared in prophet times or it was not in Hadrat Umer times. Hammad has reported the word ''Azzabeeb'' in place of ''Inab''

"Alcoholic drinks are prepared from five things, i.e., raisins, dates. wheat, barley and honey."

By Allah! He did not tell me a lie about what he had heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful. And there will be some people who will stay near the side of a mountain and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and ask them for something, but they will say to him, 'Return to us tomorrow.' Allah will destroy them during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection."

Abu Usaid As-Sa`idi came and invited Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the occasion of his wedding. His wife who was the bride, was serving them. She asked: Do you know what drink she prepared for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ? She had soaked some dates in water in a Tur overnight.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the use of (certain) containers, but the Ansar said, "We cannot dispense with them." The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "If so, then use them." Khalifah said: Yahya bin Saeed, Sufyan, Mansur, Saalim bin Abul Jaad has also reported it.

When the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade the use of certain containers (that were used for preparing alcoholic drinks), somebody said to the Prophet (ﷺ) . "But not all the people can find skins." So he allowed them to use clay jars not covered with pitch.

The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade the use of Ad-Dubba' and Al Muzaffat. A'mash also narrated this.

I asked Al-Aswad, "Did you ask `Aisha رضی اللہ عنہا , Mother of the Believers, about the containers in which it is disliked to prepare (non-alcoholic) drinks?" He said, "Yes, I said to her, 'O Mother of the Believers! What containers did the Prophet (ﷺ) forbid to use for preparing (non-alcoholic) drinks?" She said, 'The Prophet forbade us, (his family), to prepare (nonalcoholic) drinks in Ad-Dubba and Al-Muzaffat.' I asked, 'Didn't you mention Al Jar and Al Hantam?' She said, 'I tell what I have heard; shall I tell you what I have not heard?' "

"The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade the use of green jars." I said, "Shall we drink out of white jars?" He said, "No."

Abu Usaid As Sa`idi رضی اللہ عنہ invited the Prophet (ﷺ) to his wedding banquet. At that time his wife was serving them and she was the bride. She said, ''Do you know what (kind of syrup) I soaked (made) for Allah's Apostle? I soaked some dates in water in a Tur (bowl) overnight. '

I asked Ibn `Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما about Al-Badhaq. He said, "Muhammad prohibited alcoholic drinks before It was called Al-Badhaq (by saying), 'Any drink that intoxicates is unlawful.'

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to like sweet edible things and honey.
