Sahih al-Bukhari 5588 (Book 74, Hadith 14) #5363
Prohibition of Alcoholic Drinks

SUMMARY: Alcoholic drinks are prohibited by Allah and they disturb the mind.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: 'Umar delivered a sermon on the pulpit of Allah's Messenger , saying, "Alcoholic drinks were prohibited by Divine Order, and these drinks used to be prepared from five things, ie, grapes, dates, wheat, barley and honey. Alcoholic drink is that, that disturbs the mind"'.Umar added, "I wish Allah's Apostle had not left us before he had given us definite verdicts concerning three matters, ie, how much a grandfather may inherit (of his grandson), the inheritance of Al-Kalalah (the deceased person among whose heirs there is no father or son), and various types of Riba(1 ) (usury) ".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ خَطَبَ عُمَرُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ نَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُ الْخَمْرِ، وَهْىَ مِنْ خَمْسَةِ أَشْيَاءَ الْعِنَبِ وَالتَّمْرِ وَالْحِنْطَةِ وَالشَّعِيرِ وَالْعَسَلِ، وَالْخَمْرُ مَا خَامَرَ الْعَقْلَ، وَثَلاَثٌ وَدِدْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ يُفَارِقْنَا حَتَّى يَعْهَدَ إِلَيْنَا عَهْدًا الْجَدُّ وَالْكَلاَلَةُ وَأَبْوَابٌ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الرِّبَا‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا عَمْرٍو فَشَىْءٌ يُصْنَعُ بِالسِّنْدِ مِنَ الرُّزِّ‏.‏ قَالَ ذَاكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ أَوْ قَالَ عَلَى عَهْدِ عُمَرَ‏.‏ وَقَالَ حَجَّاجُ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ مَكَانَ الْعِنَبِ الزَّبِيبَ‏.‏
