باب في التَّغْلِيظِ لِمَنْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ:Chapter: Severity for Those Who Drink Alcohol
Hadith 2143
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "لَا يَزْنِي الزَّانِي حِينَ يَزْنِي وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ، وَلَا يَسْرِقُ السَّارِقُ حِينَ يَسْرِقُ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ، وَلَا يَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ حِينَ يَشْرَبُهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ".
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The adulterer does not commit adultery while he is a believer, the thief does not steal while he is a believer, and the one who drinks wine does not drink it while he is a believer."
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2142)
The meaning of this hadith is that at the time of committing the aforementioned sins, a person does not remain a believer; faith leaves his heart. Therefore, if someone who commits adultery, theft, or drinks alcohol claims to be a Muslim, he is lying in his claim. A Muslim who possesses faith cannot commit such acts. Rather, if he ever does commit a major sin (kabirah), he becomes extremely remorseful and then repents forever, remaining engrossed in seeking forgiveness (istighfar) for his sin.
