And the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
1:14
"O people,
1:16
indeed, Allah Almighty is alluding to wine,
1:20
and perhaps Allah will soon reveal a decree concerning it.
1:23
So whoever has any of it,
1:26
let him sell it and benefit from its price."
1:29
He said—
1:30
meaning the narrator, Abu Sa'id al-Khudri—
1:33
"It was not long after that
1:36
until the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
1:40
'Indeed, Allah Almighty has forbidden wine.
1:44
So whoever hears of this verse
1:46
while possessing any of it,
1:48
let him neither drink it nor sell it.'"

A Point of Benefit:
2:03
Intoxicants remain forbidden wine even if called by other names,
2:07
and their legal ruling is strict prohibition.
2:09
The verse explicitly commands avoidance,
2:12
which is far more emphatic than merely abstaining.
2:14
The hadith also contains
2:15
a demonstration of that great, blessed generation's swiftness
2:19
in responding to the divine call.
2:21
And if we truly desire success and salvation,
2:24
let us adopt their methodology in our conduct—
2:26
in wholeheartedly submitting to this command,
2:29
and in every injunction we are commanded to follow,
2:31
as well as every prohibition we are restrained from.
