فمتى قمر صاحبه تناول الفقاع فشربه ثلاث مرات ثم صب فضلته مما يلي الطست من الارض فمن كان من شيعتنا فليتورع عن شرب الفقاع واللعب بالشطرنج، ومن نظر إلى الفقاع أو إلى الشطرنج فليذكر الحسين عليه السلام، وليلعن يزيد وآل زياد يمحو الله عز وجل بذلك ذنوبه، ولو كانت كعدد النجوم So, when his -la companions took ‘ Al-Faqa’a , and they drank it three times, and they poured its remains from what had fallen upon the ground, onto the tray.

So the one who was from our -asws Shias, so he should keep away from drinking Al-Faqa’a (alcohol) and the playing of the chess. And the one who (even) looks at ‘ Al-Faqa’a’ or towards the Chess, so he should remember Al-Husayn -asws , and curse Yazeed -la and the progeny of Ziyad -la , and Allah -saww would Delete his sins due to that, even though they may be (as many as) the number of the stars’. [52] When one dies within 40 days of drinking wine!

وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ شَارِبِ‏ الْخَمْرِ مَا حَالُهُ‏ إِذَا سَكِرَ مِنْهَا قَالَ مَنْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ فَمَاتَ بَعْدَهُ بِأَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً لَقِيَ اللَّهَ كَعَابِدِ وَثَنٍ And I asked him -asws about a drinker of the wine, what is his state when he is intoxicated from it? He -asws said: ‘One who drinks the wine and he dies after it within forty days, would meet Allah -azwj like a worshipper of idols’.

[53] (An extract from a long Hadith) Imam -asws Politely Advises a companion to give up on Alcohol: عم، إعلام الورى قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب الشَّقْرَانِيُّ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏ خَرَجَ الْعَطَاءُ أَيَّامَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَ مَا لِي شَفِيعٌ فَبَقِيتُ عَلَى الْبَابِ مُتَحَيِّراً وَ إِذَا أَنَا بِجَعْفَرٍ الصَّادِقِ ع فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جَعَلَنِي اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ أَنَا مَوْلَاكَ الشَّقْرَانِيُّ (The book) ‘I’lam Al Wara’, (and) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – ‘Al-Shaqrany, slave of Rasool-Allah -saww , ‘Al-Ata’a went out during the days of Abu Ja’far and there was no intercessor for me.

So I remained at the door, confused, and there I was with Ja’far Al-Sadiq -asws . I stood up to him and said to him -asws , ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws ! I am your -asws friend Al-Shaqrany’.
