Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Allah the Exalted mentioned wine and gambling in the verse: “They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, ‘In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit.’” In this verse, He spoke ill of wine and gambling, but did not make them unlawful at that time; at that time, both were lawful. Then after that, Allah the Exalted revealed another verse, which was stricter than the first: “O you who have believed, do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated,” meaning, do not go near prayer in a state of intoxication. Through this verse, it was made unlawful to pray while intoxicated. Then this verse from Surah al-Ma’idah was revealed: “Indeed, wine, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone altars [to other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it,” up to, “So will you not desist?” Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Through this verse, the prohibition of wine was completed—whether a little or a lot, whether it intoxicates or not, all was declared unlawful.
