Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Three people will not enter Paradise: the habitual drinker of wine, the one who severs ties of kinship, and the one who believes in magic. And whoever dies while habitually drinking wine, Allah Almighty will make him drink from the River of Ghutah. It was asked: What is the River of Ghutah? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is a river in which the filth of prostitutes flows, and the stench of their private parts will torment the people of Hell."
Ahmad, Abu Ya'la and al-Tabarani recorded it. The narrators of Ahmad and Abu Ya'la are thiqat (trustworthy).
