Sahih al-Bukhari 7270 (Book 97, Hadith 181)
intervene between you and us therefore we cannot come to you except in the Holy months. So please
order us to do something good (Religious deeds) by which we may enter Paradise (by acting on them)
and we may inform our people whom we have left behind to observe it.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I order
you to do four things and forbid you from four things: I order you to believe in Allah. Do you know
what is meant by belief in Allah? It is to testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah,
to offer prayers perfectly, to give Zakat, and to give Al-Khumus (one-fifth of the war booty) (in
Allah’s Cause). And I forbid you four things, (i.e., Do not drink alcoholic drinks) Ad-Dubba, An-
Naqir, (pitched water skins), Az-Zuruf, Al-Muzaffat and Al–Hantam (names of utensils used for the
preparation of alcoholic drinks).” (See Hadith No. 50, Vol. 1)
“ آمُرُكُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ، آمُرُكُمْ بِالإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ، وَهَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الإِيمَانُ بِاللَّهِ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَإِقَامُ الصَّلاَةِ، وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ، وَتُعْطُوا مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ الْخُمُسَ، وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ لاَ تَشْرَبُوا فِي الدُّبَّاءِ، وَالنَّقِيرِ، وَالظُّرُوفِ الْمُزَفَّتَةِ، وَالْحَنْتَمَةِ ”.
