إِنَّهُ قَدْ نَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُ الْخَمْرِ وَهِيَ مِنْ خَمْسَةِ أَشْيَاءَ: الْعِنَبِ وَالتَّمْرِ وَالْحِنْطَةِ والشعيرِ والعسلِ وَالْخمر مَا خامر الْعقل
. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ

Ibn 'Umar told that ‘Umar gave an address on God’s Messenger’s pulpit, saying, “The prohibition of wine has come down (Al-Qur’an, 5:90) and it comes from five things:
grapes, dates, wheat, barley and honey. Wine (<i>khamr</i>) is what infects (<i>khamara</i>) the mind.” Bukhari transmitted it.
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: لَقَدْ حُرِّمَتِ الْخَمْرُ حِينَ حُرِّمَتْ وَمَا نَجِدُ خَمْرَ الْأَعْنَابِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا وَعَامة خمرنا الْبُسْر وَالتَّمْر. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ

Wine was forbidden when it was forbidden (i.e. by the Qur’an), but we get only a little of the wine from grapes, most of our wine being from unripe dates and dry dates. Bukhari transmitted it.

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ خَمْرٌ وَكُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ وَمَنْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَمَاتَ وَهُوَ يُدْمِنُهَا لَمْ يَتُبْ لَمْ يَشْرَبْهَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
English translation
Ibn ‘Umar reported God’s Messenger as saying, “Every intoxicant is <i>khamr</i> and every intoxicant is forbidden. He who drinks wine in this world and dies when he is addicted to it, not having repented, will not drink it in the next.” Muslim transmitted it.

Muslim transmitted it.

وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ يُتَّخَذُ خَلًّا؟ فَقَالَ: «لَا» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم

‘Abdallah b. ‘Umar reported God’s Messenger as saying, “If anyone drinks wine God will not accept prayer from him for forty days,* but if he repents God will forgive him. If he repeats the offence God will not accept prayer from him for forty days, but if he repents God will forgive him. If he again repeats the offence God will not accept prayer from him for forty days, but if he repents God will forgive him. If he repeats it a fourth time God will not accept prayer from him for forty days, and if he repents God will not forgive him,, but will give him to drink of the river of the fluid flowing from the inhabitants of hell.” Tirmidhi transmitted it, and Nasa’i, Ibn Majah and Darimi transmitted it on the authority of ‘Abdallah b. ‘Amr. * Literally, 'mornings.'
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَا أَسْكَرَ كَثِيرُهُ فَقَلِيلُهُ حَرَامٌ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ

Abu Dawud
عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ: نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ كُلِّ مُسْكِرٍ ومقتر. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد

English translation
Dailam al-Himyari told that he said, “Messenger of God, we live in a cold land in which we do heavy work and we make a liquor from wheat to get strength from it for our work and, to stand the cold of our country.” He asked whether it was intoxicating, and when he replied that it was, he said they must avoid it. When he replied that the people would not abandon it, he said, “If they do not abandon it fight with them.” Abu Dawud transmitted it.

English translation
‘Abdallah b. ‘Amr told that the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade wine, <i>maisir</i>, the <i>kuba</i> and <i>ghubaira</i>,* saying, “Every intoxicant is prohibited.” Abd Dawud transmitted it. *This is a comprehensive tradition not exclusively dealing with intoxicants, although the Prophet’s words might suggest that it does. <i>Maisir</i> was a game of chance and the <i>kuba</i> was a kind of drum wide at the ends and narrow in the middle which was looked on with disapproval. The parts which refer to intoxicants are the wine (<i>khamr</i>) and the <i>ghubaira'</i> which was an intoxicant made by Abyssinians from millet.
وَعَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ عَاقٌّ وَلَا قَمَّارٌ وَلَا مَنَّانٌ وَلَا مُدْمِنُ خَمْرٍ» . رَوَاهُ الدَّارِمِيُّ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لَهُ: «وَلَا وَلَدَ زِنْيَةٍ» بَدَلَ «قمار»

وَعَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى بَعَثَنِي رَحْمَة للعالمينَ وهُدىً لِلْعَالِمِينَ وَأَمَرَنِي رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِمَحْقِ الْمَعَازِفِ وَالْمَزَامِيرِ وَالْأَوْثَانِ وَالصُّلُبِ وَأَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَحَلَفَ رَبِّي عزَّ وجلَّ: بعِزَّتي لَا يشربُ عبدٌ منْ عَبِيدِي جرعة خَمْرٍ إِلَّا سَقَيْتُهُ مِنَ الصَّدِيدِ مِثْلَهَا وَلَا يَتْرُكُهَا مِنْ مَخَافَتِي إِلَّا سَقَيْتُهُ مِنْ حِيَاضِ الْقُدس

. رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالنَّسَائِيّ
English translation
Ibn ‘Umar reported God's Messenger as saying, “There are three to whom God has forbidden paradise:
one who is addicted to wine, an undutiful son, and a cuckold who agrees to his women-folk’s adultery." Ahmad and Nasa'i transmitted it.

He said that Bukhari in his <i>Ta’rikh</i> mentioned it on the authority of Muhammad b. ‘Abdallah who quoted his father's authority.
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: مَا أُبالي شرِبتُ الخمرَ أَو عبدْتُ هذهِ السَّارِيةَ دونَ اللَّهِ. رَوَاهُ النَّسَائِيّ
