don’t like to wake up in the morning having spent my evening like a fool.’ (At-Tafsīr-ul-Kabīr, Al-Baqaraĥ, Taḥt Al-Āyaĥ: 219, vol. 2, pp. 401)
When alcohol was prohibited, by that time the teachings of Islam were so firmly integrated and deeply embedded in the hearts and souls of the companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم that bowing their heads before any commandment of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Rasūl صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had become a part of their instinct.
Sayyidunā Buraydaĥ رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has stated: We were three or four friends who were once drinking alcohol. I stood up and proceeded to the blessed court of the Most Honourable Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and paid Salām. There I came to know that the injunction of the prohibition of alcohol has been imposed. I rushed towards my friends and recited the verses of prohibition over there. They were still busy in drinking and holding vessels in their hands, meaning that they had drunk some alcohol and some was still remaining in the bottles, but as soon as they came to know that alcohol has become Ḥarām, they all invoked: ‘!اِنۡتَهَيۡنَا رَبَّنَا !اِنۡتَهَيۡنَا رَبَّنَا’ i.e. O our Rab! We abandon alcohol listening to Your commandment. (Tafsīr Aṭ-Ṭabarī, Al-Māidaĥ, Taḥt Al-Ayaĥ 91, vol. 5, pp. 36, Ḥadīš 12527)
Another similar narration is reported from Sayyidunā Anas bin Mālik رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی
عَـنْهُ. He رَضِىَ اللهُ
تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said, ‘We had
alcohol made up from raw dates which was
not cooked on fire. I was serving it to
so-and-so. Suddenly a person came and informed us that alcohol has been
declared Ḥarām; therefore all of them said
to me, ‘O Anas! Drain away these pitchers.’
Sayyidunā Anas
رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی
عَـنْهُ said, ‘The Companions
رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم never
argued about it after knowing its
prohibition and never looked at it again.’ (Ṣaḥīḥ
Bukhārī, vol. 3, pp. 216, Ḥadīš 4617)
