حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْقُدُّوسِ , حَدَّثَنَا ثَوْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ , عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ , عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا تَذْهَبُ اللَّيَالِي وَالْأَيَّامُ , حَتَّى تَشْرَبَ فِيهَا طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الْخَمْرَ , يُسَمُّونَهَا بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهَا " .
´It was narrated from Abu Umamah Al-Bahili that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “Night and day will not cease until a group among my nation drinks wine, calling it by some other name.”
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ The mention of the evil deeds that will occur near the Day of Judgment is so that the believer may strive even more to avoid them.
➋ Changing the name of something forbidden does not alter its ruling. For example, calling usury (riba) “profit” or “mark-up” does not change its reality, and likewise, calling alcohol “beverage” or “sherbet” or giving it any other pleasant name does not make it lawful.
