الحَثُّ عَلى تَركِ الخَمرِ ولَو لِغَيرِ اللّه‏ِ Enjoinment of Abandoning Alcohol even if it be for Other Than Allah

11ـ رسولُ اللّه‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) ـ : مَن‏تَرَكَ الخَمرَ لغَيرِ اللّه‏ِ سَقاهُ اللّه‏ُ مِن الرَّحيقِ المَخْتومِ ، فقالَ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) :لغَيرِ اللّه‏ِ ؟! قالَ : نَعَم واللّه‏ِ ، صِيانَةً لنفسهِ .

 

11– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Whoever abandons alcohol for other than the sake of Allah, Allah will quench his thirst [in Paradise] with the sealed wine’. Imam Ali (AS) exclaimed, ‘For other than Allah?’ The Prophet (SAWA) replied, ‘Yes, by Allah, for his own protection and well-being.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 79, p. 412, no. 2]
