My house is among the houses of a people who drink wine and consider it lawful. Had I known it is unlawful.
I would have avoided it.’ Abu Bakr turned to ‘Umar and asked, ‘What do you say about the case of this man?’ ‘Umar said it is a difficult question and there is no one for it except Abu Al-Hassan -asws .’ Abu Bakr said, ‘You must call Ali -asws for us.’ ‘Umar said, ‘He gives judgement in his house.’ They stood up with the man with them and the people present until they came to the house of ‘Amir-ul-Momineen -asws and the two informed him -asws of the story of the man.
The man himself also told his story.
