Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #28020

Qutaibah told us, Jarir bin Abdul Hamid told us, on the authority of Ata’ bin Al-Sa’ib, on the authority of Abdullah bin Ubaid bin Umair, on the authority of his father, he said Abdullah bin Omar said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “Whoever drinks alcohol, God will not accept his forty morning prayers, so if he repents.” God repents to him, and if he returns, God will not accept his prayer for forty mornings. If he repents, God will repent to him, and if he returns, God will not accept his prayer. For forty mornings, and if he repents, God will accept his repentance. If he returns at the fourth hour, God will not accept his prayer. For forty mornings, if he repents, He will not accept his prayers. May God accept his repentance and give him to drink from the river of Al-Khabal. It was said: O Abu Abdul Rahman, what is the river of Al-Khabal? He said: a river of pus from the people of Hell. Abu Issa said: This is a good hadith, and something like this was narrated on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr and Ibn Abbas on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.
