Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 25637 — Wine, and reports about it

Sa'd bin Ibrahim narrated from his father that he heard Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) delivering a sermon. Sayyiduna Uthman mentioned wine and said: It is the gatherer of many evils, or he said: It is the mother of evils. Then he related an incident about the Children of Israel, and said: A man was given a choice between killing a child, destroying a book and drinking wine, and he chose drinking wine, but then that man ended up doing all of these things.
