It was narrated from Abu Bakr bin ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Al Harith that his father said: “I heard ‘Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, say: ‘Avoid Khamr for it is the mother of all evils. There was a man among those who came before you who was a devoted worshipper. An immoral woman fell in love with him. She sent her slave girl to him, saying: We are calling you to bear witness. So he set out with her slave girl, and every time he entered a door, she locked it behind him, until he reached a beautiful woman who has with her a boy and a vessel of wine. She said: ‘By Allah, I did not call you to bear witness, rather I ted you to have intercourse with or to drink a cup of this wine, to kill this boy.’ He said: ‘Pour e a cup of this wine.’ So she d him a cup. He said: ‘Give more.’ And soon he had itercourse with her and killed the So avoid Khamr, for by Allah h and addiction to Khamr cannot coexist but, one of them will koon expel the other.” (Sahih)2222
