Abdullah bin Umar reported,

Rubai reported that Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, Umar bin Khattab, and a group of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were sitting together after the death of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, discussing what the gravest of major sins might be. They had no firm knowledge about it, so they sent me to Abdullah bin Amr bin As to ask him.He told me that the gravest of major sins was drinking wine. I returned and informed them, but they rejected this and went together to confront him.He told them that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said, "A king from among the Children of Israil once compelled a man, giving him the choice between drinking wine, killing a child, committing fornication, or eating pork, and threatening to kill him if he refused. The man chose to drink wine, but once he had drunk, he did not refuse anything they wanted from him."Abdullah added that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said to us, "No one drinks wine but that his prayers are not accepted for forty nights, and no one dies with any of it remaining in his bladder but that Paradise is forbidden to him. If he dies during those forty nights, he dies the death of the days of ignorance."

عن عبد الله بن عمر

أن أبا بكر الصديق وعمر بن الخطاب وناسا من أصحاب رسول الله ﷺ جلسوا بعد وفاة رسول الله ﷺ، فذكروا أعظم الكبائر، فلم يكن عندهم فيها علم، فأرسلوني إلى عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص أسأله عن ذلك، فأخبرني: أن أعظم الكبائر شرب الخمر، فأتيتهم فأخبرتهم، فأنكروا ذلك، ووثبوا إليه جميعا، فأخبرهم أن رسول الله ﷺ قال: إن ملكا من بني إسرائيل أجبر رجلا، فخيره بين أن يشرب الخمر، أو يقتل صبيا، أو يزني، أو يأكل لحم الخنزير، أو يقتلوه إن أبى، فاختار أنه يشرب الخمر، وأنه لما شرب لم يمتنع من شيء أرادوه منه، وأن رسول الله ﷺ قال لنا حينئذ: ما من أحد يشربها فتقبل له صلاة أربعين ليلة ولا يموت وفي مثانته منها شيء إلا حرمت عليه الجنة، وإن مات في الأربعين مات ميتة جاهلية.
