the time of his death. Whenever he was advised to invoke Kalimaĥ Ṭayyibaĥ (first article of faith) he would utter, ‘You all drink and make me drink too.’ (Baḥr-ud-Dumū’, pp. 216)
Imām
Abul ‘Abbās Aḥmad bin Muhammad bin ‘Alī bin Ḥajar
Makkī Shāfi’ī رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has mentioned
in his book
‘اَلزَّوَاجِر عَنۡ
اِقۡتِرَافِ الۡكَبَائِر’, regarding such addicts of alcohol, that when a person falls
into another sin besides drinking alcohol, when
the desire for that sin is fulfilled then he moves away from it.
However, drinking alcohol is such a sin that its addict never stops, once he
commences drinking he continues to drink and his desire for more and more
increases. Do you not see the adulterer; his
desire is fulfilled just by committing the sin once, whereas once an
alcoholic begins drinking he continues to
drink, bodily lust overtakes him; as a result he becomes negligent of afterlife. Therefore, he is considered
amongst those transgressors who have forgotten Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, and so Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has made them unmindful
of their own lives. (Az-Zawājir
‘Aniqtirāf-il-Kabāir, vol. 2, pp. 298)
The biggest sin of all
It has been narrated by Sayyidunā ‘Abdullāĥ
bin ‘Umar
رَضِىَ
الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا that once, after the apparent demise of the Merciful
Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ
وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, Amīr-ul-Mūminīn Sayyidunā Abū Bakr Ṣiddīq رَضِىَ اللهُ
تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ and Amīr-ul-Mūminīn Sayyidunā ‘Umar
Fārūq Al-A’ẓam and some
other companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم were sitting together and the
discussion turned towards the biggest sin of
all, but they couldn’t be certain what that was and so they sent me to
Sayyidunā ‘Abdullāĥ bin ‘Amr bin Al-‘Āṣ رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی
عَـنْهُمَا to ask him. He told me,
‘The biggest sin of all is drinking.’ I returned to inform them of this but
they refused
