سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ شُرْبُ الْخَمْرِ شَرٌّ أَمْ تَرْكُ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ شُرْبُ الْخَمْرِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ وَ تَدْرِي لِمَ ذَاكَ قَالَ لَا قَالَ لِأَنَّهُ يَصِيرُ فِي حَالٍ لَا يَعْرِفُ مَعَهَا رَبَّهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ismail Bin Bashaar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘A man asked him<sup>asws</sup>, so he said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Keep you<sup>asws</sup> well! Is the wine drinker more evil or the neglector of the Prayer?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The wine drinker’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Or do you know why that is so?’ He said, ‘No’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Because he comes to be in such a state that he does not recognise in it, his Lord<sup>azwj</sup>’.
