حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْخُتَّلِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ، قَالَ : "
لَمَّا نَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُ الْخَمْرِ ، قَالَ عُمَرُ : اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ لَنَا فِي الْخَمْرِ بَيَانًا شِفَاءً ، فَنَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ الَّتِي فِي الْبَقَرَةِ : يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ قُلْ فِيهِمَا إِثْمٌ كَبِيرٌ سورة البقرة آية 219 ، قَالَ : فَدُعِيَ عُمَرُ ، فَقُرِئَتْ عَلَيْهِ ، قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ لَنَا فِي الْخَمْرِ بَيَانًا شِفَاءً ، فَنَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ الَّتِي فِي النِّسَاءِ : يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلاةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُكَارَى سورة النساء آية 43 ، فَكَانَ مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ يُنَادِي : أَلَا لَا يَقْرَبَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ سَكْرَانُ ، فَدُعِيَ عُمَرُ فَقُرِئَتْ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ لَنَا فِي الْخَمْرِ بَيَانًا شِفَاءً ، فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ : فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُنْتَهُونَ سورة المائدة آية 91 ، قَالَ عُمَرُ انْتَهَيْنَا
