Alcoholism According to the Traditions of Ahl ul-Bayt (a.s.)
Traditions that denounce alcohol are numerous. Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a.s.) says:
“On the day of QiyÄma the drunkard would come with a black face, a protruding tongue and the saliva dripping upon his chest.”
(Wasa’il ul-Shia)
In another narration Imam (a.s.) informed:
“He will scream, ‘Thirst! Thirst!’ And Allah would have the right to make him drink from the well that contains the pollutants of the adulterers.”
(Wasa’il ul-Shia)
In a tradition from the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.), he says:
“One who is careless of SalÄt will be deprived of my intercession, and will not be able to reach me at the pool of Kawthar[6]. And by Allah, my intercession will also not reach the one who consumes intoxicants, and he would not be able to reach me at the pool of Kawthar.”
One more tradition says, that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) cursed ten types of people in connection with wine:
1) One who plants a sapling with the intention of producing wine.
2) One who cultivates this sapling so that wine may be manufactured.
3) One who crushes the grapes.
4) One who drinks wine.
5) One who serves the wine.
6) One who transports wine.
7) One who takes delivery from the supplier.
8) One who sells wine.
9) One who buys it.
10) One who uses the income that is earned by (making or selling) wine.
Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) said:
“One who is addicted to wine (liquor) will meet the Lord (on the appointed day) like an idol worshipper.”
Another tradition says that,
“On the day of meeting of the Lord, the drunkard will be counted among the disbelievers.”
(Wasa’il ul-Shia, chapter of prohibited drinks )
