Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab: When the prohibition of wine (was yet to be) declared, Umar said: O Allah, give us a satisfactory explanation about wine. So the following verse of Surat al-Baqarah revealed; "They ask thee concerning wine and gambling. Say: In them is great sin. . . . " Umar was then called and it was recited to him. He said: O Allah, give us a satisfactory explanation about wine. Then the following verse of Surat an-Nisa' was revealed: "O ye who believe! approach not prayers with a mind befogged. . . . " Thereafter the herald of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would call when the (congregational) prayer was performed: Beware, one who is drunk should not come to prayer. Umar was again called and it was recited to him). He said: O Allah, give us a satisfactory explanation about wine. This verse was revealed: "Will ye not then abstain?" Umar said: We abstained.

Urdu marginal note:
The inclination in the heart of Umar radi Allahu anhu towards the prohibition of alcohol was an inspiration (ilham) from Allah Ta'ala, which was instilled before the definitive ruling was revealed, so that aversion to alcohol would be created in the hearts of the people.
