أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَکْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ اجْتَنِبُوا الْخَمْرَ فَإِنَّهَا أُمُّ الْخَبَائِثِ إِنَّهُ کَانَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ خَلَا قَبْلَکُمْ تَعَبَّدَ فَعَلِقَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ غَوِيَّةٌ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ جَارِيَتَهَا فَقَالَتْ لَهُ إِنَّا نَدْعُوکَ لِلشَّهَادَةِ فَانْطَلَقَ مَعَ جَارِيَتِهَا فَطَفِقَتْ کُلَّمَا دَخَلَ بَابًا أَغْلَقَتْهُ دُونَهُ حَتَّی أَفْضَی إِلَی امْرَأَةٍ وَضِيئَةٍ عِنْدَهَا غُلَامٌ وَبَاطِيَةُ خَمْرٍ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا دَعَوْتُکَ لِلشَّهَادَةِ وَلَکِنْ دَعَوْتُکَ لِتَقَعَ عَلَيَّ أَوْ تَشْرَبَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْخَمْرَةِ کَأْسًا أَوْ تَقْتُلَ هَذَا الْغُلَامَ قَالَ فَاسْقِينِي مِنْ هَذَا الْخَمْرِ کَأْسًا فَسَقَتْهُ کَأْسًا قَالَ زِيدُونِي فَلَمْ يَرِمْ حَتَّی وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا وَقَتَلَ النَّفْسَ فَاجْتَنِبُوا الْخَمْرَ فَإِنَّهَا وَاللَّهِ لَا يَجْتَمِعُ الْإِيمَانُ وَإِدْمَانُ الْخَمْرِ إِلَّا لَيُوشِکُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5682
It was narrated from Abu Bakr bin ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Al Harith that his father said: “I heard ‘Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, say: ‘Avoid Khamr for it is the mother of all evils. There was a man among those who came before you who was a devoted worshipper. An immoral woman fell in love with him. She sent her slave girl to him, saying: We are calling you to bear witness. So he set out with her slave girl, and every time he entered a door, she locked it behind him, until he reached a beautiful woman who has with her a boy and a vessel of wine. She said: ‘By Allah, I did not call you to bear witness, rather I ted you to have intercourse with or to drink a cup of this wine, to kill this boy.’ He said: ‘Pour e a cup of this wine.’ So she d him a cup. He said: ‘Give more.’ And soon he had itercourse with her and killed the So avoid Khamr, for by Allah h and addiction to Khamr cannot coexist but, one of them will koon expel the other.” (Sahih)2222
