حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " بَادِرُوا بِالْأَعْمَالِ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ ، يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا ، وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا ، يَبِيعُ أَحَدُهُمْ دِينَهُ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said:` "Rush to do good deeds. A Fitnah will occur that is like a portion of the dark night, morning will come upon a man as a believer, who will be a disbeliever in the evening, and evening will come upon a believer, who will be a disbeliever in the morning. One of them will sell his religion for goods of the world."

Benefits and Issues:
(1)
When a person uses an intoxicating substance, his intellect becomes impaired and he is deprived of reason and awareness, such that he cannot distinguish between friend and foe, and may even harm his close relatives. For this reason, the Islamic Shari‘ah has prohibited the use of intoxicating substances.
(2)
When the Shari‘ah prohibits something, it is not correct to seek excuses or pretexts for its permissibility. Therefore, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Even if the water-skins are gnawed by mice.” It is permissible to acknowledge someone’s virtues in their presence to encourage them.
(4)
Iman and Islam:
Are synonymous or have similar meanings. Therefore, in explaining and interpreting iman before the delegation of ‘Abd al-Qays, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) mentioned those same actions which, in the hadith of ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (radi Allahu anhuma), are counted under Islam.
(5)
It is permissible to send a delegation to the people of knowledge to ask about issues, so that they may return and inform those who remained behind.

It is permissible to present a valid excuse before the people of knowledge so that one does not have to endure the hardship of coming repeatedly.
(7)
It is better to express happiness and joy before those who come, and to welcome them, so that it becomes easy and convenient for them to state the purpose of their visit.
(8)
It is permissible to ask again in order to understand a matter.
