Buraiyon ki Maa | Mother of Evils
He recited اَعۡبُدُ instead of لَآ اَعۡبُدُ, meaning that, he left the word لَا before اَعۡبُدُ; consequently, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ revealed the following verse:
یٰۤاَ یُّہَا الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا تَقۡرَ بُوا الصَّلٰوۃَ وَ اَ نۡتُمۡ سُکٰرٰی حَتّٰی تَعۡلَمُوۡا مَا تَقُوۡلُوۡنَ
‘O people who believe! Do not approach the Ṣalāĥ when you are intoxicated until you have enough sense to understand what you say...’
[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)] (Part 5, Sūraĥ Al-Nisā, Verse 43)
Thus, intoxicants were declared Ḥarām during Ṣalāĥ times. After revelation of the above verse, some people considered it as Ḥarām upon them and said, ‘There is no goodness in such a substance that becomes an obstacle between us and Ṣalāĥ’, and some used to abandon it during Ṣalāĥ times. Some people would drink after ‘Ishā Ṣalāĥ so that they could sober up before Fajr Ṣalāĥ and some would drink after Fajr in order to regain senses before Ẓuĥr Ṣalāĥ.
Once Sayyidunā ‘Itbān bin Mālik رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ invited Muslims at a meal and roasted the head of a camel for them. All ate it together and drank alcohol until they got intoxicated. They began boasting and insulting each other. They uttered couplets and someone read a poem which insulted the Anṣār whilst showing the pride of his own tribe. An Anṣārī took the jaw bone of the camel and hit the head of one of the companions. He was injured severely and presented himself in the blessed court of the Most Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to launch complaint against that Anṣārī companion. After this incident, Sayyidunā ‘Umar Fārūq Al-A’ẓam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ prayed in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and requested: ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Bestow us with an explicit injunction regarding alcohol. Hence Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ revealed the following commandment:
