O people, avoid alcohol, for it is the mother of evil. Indeed, there was a man who passed away before you who was worshiping, and a seductive woman fell in love with him, so she sent her maid to him and said to him, “We are calling you to martyrdom.” So he went off with her maid, so she made everything that entered a door that she closed without him, until it led to a young woman who had a boy and a vessel in which was wine. She said, “By God, I did not call you to martyrdom, but I called you to fall upon him, or drink a cup of this wine, or kill this boy.” So the worshiper looked at himself and said, “The lightest of the three things is drinking wine.” He said to her, “Give me a cup of this wine to drink.” So she gave him a cup to drink. Then he said, “Give me a cup.” Then he did not leave his place until he fell upon her and killed the boy. So he avoided alcohol. By God, faith and addiction to alcohol do not coexist in the heart of a servant unless one of them is about to expel the other.
