Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Ibn Daylami, who had settled in Bayt al-Maqdis, stayed in Madinah Munawwarah in search of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him). When he inquired about Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he was told that he had gone towards Makkah. He also set out after him, and upon arriving in Makkah, he found out that he had departed towards Ta’if. He set out in search of him towards Ta’if and finally found him in a field. He was walking with his hand on the waist of a Qurayshi man who was notorious for drinking wine and was staggering due to intoxication. When I met him, I greeted him with salam, and he replied to my salam. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What has brought you here? Where have you come from? I narrated the whole incident to him and then asked: O Abdullah bin Amr! Have you heard anything from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding wine? He said: Yes. (Upon hearing this) the Qurayshi withdrew his hand and went away. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: “Whoever from my Ummah drinks wine, his prayer is not accepted for forty days.”
