Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Beware of wine, for it is the key to every evil. A man was brought and told: Either tear up this Qur'an, or drink wine, or kill this child, or prostrate to the cross. He considered wine the lightest of them and drank it; then he committed adultery as well, killed the child, prostrated to the cross and tore up the Qur'an too.
