Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Alcohol is the root of all evils. Whoever drinks alcohol, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days. That person will die the death of ignorance, and whoever has alcohol in his stomach at the time of death."
