(44) باب ذِكْرِ الآثَامِ الْمُتَوَلِّدَةِ عَنْ شُرْبِ الْخَمْرِ، مِنْ تَرْكِ الصَّلَوَاتِ وَمِنْ قَتْلِ النَّفْسِ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ وَمِنْ وُقُوعٍ عَلَى الْمَحَارِمِ
Abu Bakr bin 'Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Harith narrated that his father said:
"I heard 'Uthman say: 'Avoid Khamr for it is the mother of all evils. There was a man among those who came before you who was a devoted worshipper and used to stay away from people.'" And he mentioned something similar. He said: "Avoid Khamr for, by Allah, it can never coexist with Faith, but soon one of them will expel the other." (ID)
