حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الرَّازِيِّ عَنْ عَطَائِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ صَنَعَ لَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ طَعَامًا فَدَعَانَا وَسَقَانَا مِنْ الْخَمْرِ فَأَخَذَتْ الْخَمْرُ مِنَّا وَحَضَرَتْ الصَّلَاةُ فَقَدَّمُونِي فَقَرَأْتُ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْکَافِرُونَ لَا أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ وَنَحْنُ نَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ قَالَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَی يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُکَارَی حَتَّی تَعْلَمُوا مَا تَقُولُونَ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ صَحِيحٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 3026
Narrated Abu 'Abdur-Rahman As-Sulami: that 'Ali bin Abi Talib said: 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf prepared some food for which he invited us, and he gave us some wine to drink. The wine began to affect us when it was time for Salat. So they encouraged me (to lead) and I recited: 'Say: O you disbelievers! I do not worship what you worship, and we worship what you worship' - so Allah, Most High, revealed: O you who believe! Do not approach Salat when you are in a drunken state until you know what you are saying (4:43).
