Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
Satanic types of people,
will narrate fabricated things in the name of the Qur’an,
or will present their collected information under the name of the Qur’an,
or will present some old, brief Arabic commentary
as the Qur’an and will say:
“Look! This ancient manuscript
is different from your present Qur’an,”
just as, in united India, an English doctor brought a book from somewhere and presented it as the Qur’an,
but the Muslims ignored what he said and he failed.
(Fath al-Mulhim, vol. 1, p. 128)
This could also be the objective,
that they will recite the Qur’an to people in order to win them over,
and when people develop devotion towards them,
then they will begin to misguide them.
Just as Mirza Qadiani and Gohar Shahi did,
by making people devotees in the name of Islam and then turning them away from the religion of Islam.
There are other such people as well,
who are misleading people away from the religion in the name of the Qur’an.

Benefits and Issues:
The wisdom behind this prohibition has already been explained.
Thus, later on, when hatred for alcohol had become firmly established in the hearts of the Muslims, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) permitted the use of these vessels, but he cautioned that it is obligatory to abstain from intoxicating drinks, as will be mentioned in the next chapter.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Lest there be intoxication in it, but due to its lightness it is not perceived. This ruling was in the beginning, when people were addicted to wine and they were prohibited from it. They would not perceive a slight intoxication. Later, when the matter of intoxication became a thing of the past, the use of nabidh in these vessels was permitted, on the condition that it does not cause intoxication. This is the position of the majority of the scholars.
