Ibn ‘Abbas reported God’s Messenger as saying, “If one who is addicted to wine dies he will meet God most high in the same condition as an idolater.” Ahmad transmitted it, Ibn Majah transmitted on Abu Huraira’s authority, and Baihaqi, in <i>Shu'ab al-iman</i>, gave it on the authority of Muhammad b. ‘Ubaidallah who quoted his father’s authority. 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.

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مُدْمِنُ الْخَمْرِ إِنْ مَاتَ لقيَ اللَّهَ كعابِدِ وثن» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمد وروى ابْن مَاجَه عَن أبي هُرَيْرَة وَالْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي «شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ» عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عبيد الله عَن أَبِيه. قَالَ: ذَكَرَ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي التَّارِيخِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عبد الله عَن أَبِيه
