أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ أَبِي مَيْسَرَةَ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا نَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُ الْخَمْرِ ، قَالَ عُمَرُ : اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ لَنَا فِي الْخَمْرِ بَيَانًا شَافِيًا , فَنَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ الَّتِي فِي الْبَقَرَةِ , فَدُعِيَ عُمَرُ فَقُرِئَتْ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ لَنَا فِي الْخَمْرِ بَيَانًا شَافِيًا , فَنَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ الَّتِي فِي النِّسَاءِ : يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلاةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُكَارَى سورة النساء آية 43 , فَكَانَ مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ نَادَى : " لَا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُكَارَى " . فَدُعِيَ عُمَرُ فَقُرِئَتْ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ لَنَا فِي الْخَمْرِ بَيَانًا شَافِيًا , فَنَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ الَّتِي فِي الْمَائِدَةِ ، فَدُعِيَ عُمَرُ , فَقُرِئَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ : فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُنْتَهُونَ سورة المائدة آية 91 قَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : انْتَهَيْنَا انْتَهَيْنَا .
´It was narrated from 'Umar that:` When the prohibition of Khamr was revealed, 'Umar said: "O Allah, give us a clear ruling on Khamr," and the Verse in Al-Baqarah was revealed. 'Umar was called and it was recited to him. Then 'Umar said: "O Allah, give us a clear ruling on Khamr," and the Verse in An-Nisa' was revealed: "O you who believe! Approach not As-Salah (the prayer) when you are in a drunken state". And when the Iqamah for prayer was said, the caller of the Messenger of Allah [SAW] would cry out: "O you who believe! Approach not As-Salah (the prayer) when you are in a drunken state." 'Umar was called and this was recited to him. Then he said: "O Allah, give us a clear ruling on Khamr." Then the Verse in Surat Al-Ma'idah was revealed, and 'Umar was called, and it was recited to him. When he reached the words, "So, will you not then abstain?," 'Umar said: "We have abstained, we have abstained."

2؎: That is: the statement of Allah the Exalted «إنما يريد الشيطان أن يوقع بينكم العداوة والبغضائ في الخمر والميسر ويصدكم عن ذكر الله وعن الصلاة فهل أنتم منتهون»: "Shaytan only desires to sow enmity and hatred among you through intoxicants and gambling, and to hinder you from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. So will you not then desist?" (Al-Ma'idah: 91)
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Urdu marginal note:
The inclination in the heart of Umar radi Allahu anhu towards the prohibition of alcohol was an inspiration (ilham) from Allah Ta'ala, which was instilled before the definitive ruling was revealed, so that aversion to alcohol would be created in the hearts of the people.
