Chapter. Allah’s Statement: “Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), gambling, Al-Ansab and Al-Azlam (arrows for seeking luck or a decision) are an abomination of Satan’s handiwork..." (V.5:90)
Narrated Ibn `Umar: (The Verse of) prohibiting alcoholic drinks was revealed when there were in Medina five kinds of (alcoholic) drinks none of which was produced from grapes.
Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that «الأزلام» refers to those arrows by which they used to seek omens for their affairs. The disbelievers used to inquire about their fate through them. «نصب» (Around the Ka'bah, 360 idols were set up, upon which they used to offer sacrifices.) Other people have said that the word «زلم» refers to those arrows which do not have feathers; it is the singular of «الأزلام». «استقسام» means to cast lots, so that if it does not come up, they would refrain, and if the command comes, they would act according to the command. They had made various marks on the arrows and used them to determine their fate. «استقسام» is (necessary) on the pattern of «فعلت», and «قسمت» is its plural, and «لقسوم» is the singular of «مصدر».
