Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب الأشربة

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَنْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَلاَةً أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا فَإِنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ عَادَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَلاَةً أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا فَإِنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ عَادَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَلاَةً أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا فَإِنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ عَادَ الرَّابِعَةَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَلاَةً أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا فَإِنْ تَابَ لَمْ يَتُبِ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَقَاهُ مِنْ نَهْرِ الْخَبَالِ. قِيلَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَمَا نَهْرُ الْخَبَالِ قَالَ نَهْرٌ مِنْ صَدِيدِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ وَقَدْ رُوِىَ نَحْوُ هَذَا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
'Abdullāh Ibn-'Umar related that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, "Whoever drinks an intoxicant, God will not accept his prayer for forty mornings; if he repents, God will accept his repentance. If he returns (to drinking), God will not accept his prayer for forty mornings; if he repents, God will accept his repentance. If he returns (again), God will not accept his prayer for forty mornings; if he repents, God will accept his repentance. If he returns for a fourth time, God will not accept his prayer for forty mornings; and if he repents, God will not accept his repentance but will make him drink from the River of Putrefaction." It was asked, "Abū-'Abdur-Raḥmān, (1) what is the River of Putrefaction?" He replied, "A river of pus of the people of Hell." Footnotes: (1) i.e. 'Abdullāh Ibn-'Umar, the narrator of the ḥadīth.
