[38] علي بن إبراهيم في (تفسيره)...

فأمسك على لسانه، فلم يتكلم، حتى ذهب عنه السكر، فأنزل الله تحريمها بعد ذلك. Ali Bin Ibrahim, in his commentary, said, ‘And in a report of Abu Al Jaroud, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far -asws having said regarding the Words of the High [5:90] O you who believe! Intoxicants and games of chance and (sacrificing to) stones set up and (dividing by) arrows : ‘As for the wine, so it is every intoxicant which is drunk, if it intoxicates, so it is Forbidden.

And if a lot of it intoxicates, so a little of it is (also) Forbidden. And it was that Abu Bakr used to drink before the Prohibition of the wine, so he used to be intoxicated. So he went on to say poetry and wept upon the Polytheists who were killed at Badr , and the Prophet -saww heard it, so he -saww said: ‘Our Allah -azwj ! Withhold his tongue’. So his tongue has Held, and he did not speak until the intoxication went away from him. So Allah -azwj Revealed its Prohibition after that’.

(Amir-ul-Momineen -asws said) So, you are present as if you are absent, and living as if you are dead, and deaf despite having ears. I -asws preach to you the wisdom and preach to you with a preaching which is a sufficient healing, and I -asws urge you towards the Holy War against the people of oppression. I -asws do not reach to the end of my -asws speech and I -asws see you are dispersing in groups.

You are reciting the poetry and striking the examples, and asking about the price of the dates and the milk . May your hands be broken. You have got bored of the war and the preparation for it, and your hearts are empty and you have stopped mentioning it.
