أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ خَلِيفَةَ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ زَاذَانَ عَنْ الْحَکَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ الْقَاضِي إِذَا أَکَلَ الْهَدِيَّةَ فَقَدْ أَکَلَ السُّحْتَ وَإِذَا قَبِلَ الرِّشْوَةَ بَلَغَتْ بِهِ الْکُفْرَ وَقَالَ مَسْرُوقٌ مَنْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ فَقَدْ کَفَرَ وَکُفْرُهُ أَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ صَلَاةٌ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5681
It was narrated that Masruq said: “If a judge accepts a gift he has consumed something unlawful, and if he accepts a bribe, that takes him to the level of Kufr.” Masriiq said: “Whoever drinks Khamr, he has committed (an act of) Kufr, and his Kufr is that his Salah does not count.” (Da’if)
