Al-Kafi 13800

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Fazzal, from Ibn Bukeyr, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘A man drank the wine in the era of Abu Bakr, so it was raised to Abu Bakr. So said to him, ‘Did you drink the wine?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘And why did you, and it is Prohibited?’ So the man said to him, ‘I became a Muslim, and my Islam was good, and my house is among a people who are drinking the wine, and they are permitting it, and had I know that it is Prohibited, I would have kept away from it’. So Abu Bakr turned to Umar, so he said, ‘So what are you saying regarding the matter of this man?’ So Umar said, ‘And there is none for it except for Abu Al-Hassan^asws’. So Abu Bakr said, ‘Call Ali^asws for us’. So Umar said, ‘He^asws gives the judgement in his^asws home’. So they both stood up, and the man was with the two of them, along with the ones who were present with them both, until they all came to Amir Al-Momineen^asws. So they informed him of the story of the man, and the man related his own story. So he^asws said: ‘Send (some people) with him who would go around with him at the gatherings of the Emigrants and the Helpers, (to find) one who had recited to him the Verse of the Prophibition, so let him testify against him’. So they did that with him, but no one testified against him that he had recited the Verse of the Prohibition to him. So he^asws freed him and said to him: ‘If you drink wine after it, we would establish the Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) upon you’.
