Enforcement of Punishment on One Who Drinks Alcohol Based on Interpretation
Volume: (5) - Page Number: (138)
5270 - Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abd al-Rahim narrated to us, saying: Sa'id ibn Abi Maryam narrated to us, saying: Yahya ibn Flihy ibn Sulayman narrated to me, from Thawr ibn Zayd al-Daylī, from Ikrimah, from Ibn Abbas, that Qudamah ibn Muz'un drank alcohol in Bahrain, and witnesses testified against him. He was then asked and admitted that he had drunk it. Umar ibn al-Khattab said to him, "What prompted you to do that?" He replied, "Because Allah says": {There is no blame upon those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have eaten} (Surah al-Ma'idah 5:93), and I am one of them, that is, one of the early emigrants, one of the people of Badr and the people of Uhud. He said to the people, "Answer the man," but they fell silent. He then said to Ibn Abbas, "Answer him." Ibn Abbas replied, "It was revealed as an excuse for those who drank it from [among] the past, before it was made unlawful, and He revealed: {O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, stone alters [to other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful} (Surah al-Ma'idah 5:90) as evidence against those remaining." He then asked those around him about the punishment for it, and Ali ibn Abi Talib said, "If he drinks, he will behave irrationally, and if he behaves irrationally, he has slandered, and the fixed penalty is eighty lashes."

2108 - Qudamah ibn Muth'un ibn Habib ibn Wahb ibn Hudhafah ibn Jumah al-Qurashi al-Jumahi, alias Abu Amr, and some say Abu Umar; the former is more famous and more prevalent. His mother was a woman from Banu Jumah, and he was the maternal uncle of Abdullah and Hafsah, the children of Umar ibn al-Khattab. He was married to Safiyyah bint al-Khattab, the sister of Umar ibn al-Khattab. He emigrated to the land of Abyssinia with his brothers, Uthman ibn Muth'un and Abdullah ibn Muth'un, and then he witnessed the Battle of Badr and other battles. Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) appointed him as the governor of Bahrain, but then he dismissed him, and Uthman ibn Abi al-As took over. The reason for his dismissal was what Ma'mar narrated from Ibn Shuhab, who said: Abdullah ibn Amir ibn Rabi'ah informed me that Umar ibn al-Khattab appointed Qudamah ibn Muth'un as the governor of Bahrain, and he was the maternal uncle of Abdullah and Hafsah, the children of Umar ibn al-Khattab. Al-Jarud, the leader of Abd al-Qays, came to Umar ibn al-Khattab from Bahrain and said: O Commander of the Faithful, Qudamah has drunk and is intoxicated. I saw a limit of Allah that I believe is right to raise to you. Umar said, "Who will testify with you?" He replied, "Abu Huraira." So he called Abu Huraira and said, "What do you testify?" Abu Huraira answered, "I did not see him drink, but I saw him drunk and vomiting." Umar said, "You have been overly zealous in your testimony," and then wrote to Qudamah to come to him from Bahrain. When Qudamah arrived, al-Jarud said to Umar, "Enforce upon this the Book of Allah." Umar replied, "Are you a contender or a witness?" Al-Jarud said, "A witness." Umar said, "You have fulfilled your testimony." Then al-Jarud fell silent, but the next day he went to Umar and said, "Enforce upon this the limit of Allah." Umar said, "I see nothing but a contender in you, and no one has testified with you except one man." Al-Jarud replied, "I beseech you by Allah." Umar said, "You will either hold your tongue or I will speak harshly to you." Al-Jarud said, "O Umar, by Allah, it is not right for your cousin to drink wine and for me to be made to feel bad about it." Abu Huraira said, "If you doubt our testimony, send for the daughter of al-Walid and ask her, for she is Qudamah's wife." So Umar sent for Hind bint al-Walid to inquire of her, and she upheld the testimony against her husband. Umar said to Qudamah, "I am imposing a penalty on you." Qudamah replied, "If I had drunk as they say, it would not have been for you to impose a penalty on me." Umar said, "Why?" Qudamah answered, "Allah, the Almighty, said: {There is no blame upon those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have eaten} (Surah al-Ma'idah 5:93)." Umar said, "You have made an error in interpretation. If you fear Allah, you will avoid what is prohibited to you." Then Umar turned to the people and said, "What do you think about flogging Qudamah?" They replied, "We do not think you should flog him as long as he is unwell." He remained silent on this for several days, then one day he woke up determined to flog him. He said to his companions, "What do you think about flogging Qudamah?" The people replied, "We do not think you should flog him as long as he is in pain." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "It is better for him to meet Allah while under the strokes than for me to meet Him while this is on my conscience." Bring me a complete whip." So Umar ordered Qudamah to be flogged. Umar was angry with Qudamah and turned away from him. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) performed Hajj with Qudamah, still angry with him. When they both returned from their Hajj and Umar was settled at al-Suqya, he fell asleep. When he awoke from his sleep, he said, "Hasten to Qudamah, for by Allah, a visitor came to me in my dream and said, 'Heal Qudamah, for he is your brother,' so hurry to him." When they approached him, Qudamah refused to come. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) commanded that if he would not come, he should be dragged to him. Umar spoke to him and sought forgiveness for him, and this was the beginning of their reconciliation. Khalaf ibn Sa'id narrated to us, saying: Abdullah ibn Muhammad narrated to us, saying: Ahmad ibn Khalid narrated to us, saying: Ishaq ibn Ibrahim narrated to us, saying: Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, saying: Ibn Jurayj narrated to us, saying: I heard Ayyub ibn Abi Tamima say: No one among the people of Badr was punished for drinking alcohol except Qudamah ibn Muth'un. Qudamah died in the year thirty-six at the age of sixty-eight.

Al-Safadi - al-Wafi bil-Wafayat - 3: al-Jumahi, uncle of Hafsa
Volume: (24) - Page Number: (152/153)
[The text is lengthy, so only the relevant excerpt is provided here]
- Qudamah ibn Muzdu'un ibn Habib ibn Wahb al-Qurashi al-Jumahi, known as Abu Amr, was the uncle of Abdullah and Hafsa, the children of Umar ibn al-Khattab. He was married to Safiya bint al-Khattab, Umar's sister. He emigrated to the land of Abyssinia with his brothers, Uthman ibn Muzdu'un and Abdullah ibn Muzdu'un, and then witnessed the Battle of Badr and all other battles with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny). Umar ibn al-Khattab appointed him as governor of Bahrain, but then dismissed him, and appointed Uthman ibn Abi al-As in his place. The reason for his dismissal was what al-Mu'mir narrated from Ibn Shahab, who said: Abdullah ibn Amir ibn Rabiah informed me that Umar ibn al-Khattab appointed Qudamah ibn Muzdu'un as governor of Bahrain, and he was the uncle of Hafsa and Abdullah, the children of Umar. Jarud, the leader of Abd al-Qays, came from Bahrain and said, "O Commander of the Faithful, Qudamah has drunk and is intoxicated," and I saw a punishment from the punishments of Allah that I believe is right for me to report to you. Umar said, "Who will testify with you?" He replied, "Abu Huraira." So he called Abu Huraira and said, "What do you testify?" He said, "I did not see him drink, but I saw him drunk and vomiting." Umar said, "You have been overzealous in your testimony." Then he wrote to Qudamah to come to him from Bahrain, and he came. Jarud said to Umar, "Enforce upon this what is in the Book of Allah." Umar replied, "Are you a claimant or a witness?" He said, "A witness." Umar said, "Did you fulfill your testimony?" Jarud fell silent, then went the next day to Umar and said, "Enforce upon this the limit of Allah." Umar said, "I see you are nothing but a claimant, and no one is testifying with you except one man." Jarud said, "I beseech you by Allah." Umar said, "You will either hold your peace or I will make you unhappy." He replied, "O Umar, by Allah, it is not right that your cousin drinks wine and you make me unhappy." Abu Huraira said, "If you doubt our words, send for the daughter of al-Walid and ask her, and she is Qudamah's wife." So Umar sent for Hind bint al-Walid to inquire of her, and she upheld the testimony against her husband. Umar said to Qudamah, "I am going to punish you." Qudamah said to Umar, "If I had drunk as you say, it would not have been for you to punish me." Umar said, "Why not?" Qudamah replied, "Allah, the Exalted, said: {There is no blame upon those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have eaten} (Surah al-Ma'idah 5:93)." Umar said, "You have misunderstood the interpretation. If you fear Allah, you will avoid what He has forbidden to you." Then Umar turned to the people and said, "What do you think about flogging Qudamah?" They said, "We do not think you should flog him as long as he is not ill." Umar said, "I would prefer him to meet Allah under the whips than to meet Him with this on my conscience." Bring me a complete whip." So Umar commanded that Qudamah be flogged. Qudamah became angry with Umar and boycotted him. Umar performed Hajj, and Qudamah went with him, still angry with him. When they both returned from their pilgrimage and Umar settled at al-Suqiyya, he fell asleep. When he awoke from his sleep, he said, "Hasten Qudamah to me, for by Allah, a visitor came to me in my dream and said, 'Heal Qudamah, for he is your brother.'" So they hurried to him, but he refused to come. Umar instructed that if he did not come, he should be pulled to him. Umar spoke to him, and sought forgiveness for him, and this was the beginning of their reconciliation. Ibn Jurayj said: I heard Ayyub ibn Tamima say, "No one from the people of Badr was punished for drinking alcohol except Qudamah ibn Muzdu'un." He died in the year thirty-six of the hijra, at the age of sixty-eight.

- .... Qudamah ibn Maz'un al-Jumahi, one of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with him), interpreted this verse. He was one of those who migrated to the land of Abyssinia with his brothers, Uthman and Abdullah, and then migrated to Medina, witnessing Badr and Umar. He was the father-in-law of Umar ibn al-Khattab and the maternal uncle of Abdullah and Hafsah. Umar ibn al-Khattab appointed him over Bahrain but then removed him when al-Jarud, the chief of Abd al-Qays, came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and testified against him for drinking alcohol. Umar said to him, "Who will testify with you?" He replied, "Abu Hurayrah." So Abu Hurayrah came, and Umar said to him, "What do you testify?" He said, "I did not see him drink, but I saw him drunk, vomiting." Umar said to him, "You have been overly demanding in your testimony." Then Umar wrote to Qudamah to come to him, and he did. Al-Jarud said to Umar, "Establish the Book of Allah upon this one." Umar replied, "Are you a plaintiff or a witness?" He said, "A witness." Umar said, "You have fulfilled your testimony." So al-Jarud remained silent, then went to Umar the next day and said, "Establish the Book of Allah upon Qudamah." Umar said to him, "I see you as nothing but a plaintiff, and no one is testifying with you but one man." Al-Jarud said, "I ask you by Allah." Umar replied, "You will control your tongue, or I will make you suffer." Al-Jarud said, "This, by Allah, O Umar, is not right: that your cousin drinks alcohol and it troubles me." Then Abu Hurayrah said, "If you doubt our testimony, send for the daughter of al-Walid and ask her, for she is Qudamah's wife." So Umar sent for Hind bint al-Walid, asking her by Allah, and she confirmed the testimony against her husband. Umar said to Qudamah, "I am going to impose a penalty on you." He replied, "If I drank as they say, you would have no right to penalize me." Umar asked, "Why not?" He said, "Because Allah, the Exalted, says: {There is no blame upon those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have eaten} (Surah al-Ma'idah 5:93)." Umar said to him, "You have misunderstood the interpretation. If you fear Allah, you will avoid what He has forbidden you." Then Umar punished him while he was sick. Some of the Companions said to him, "We do not think you should whip him as long as he is ill." One day he woke up, having resolved to whip him, and said to his companions, "What do you think about whips Quodamah?" They said, "We do not see that it is right as long as he is in pain." Umar said, "It is better for him to meet Allah under the lashes than to meet Him with it on my shoulders," and he commanded that Qudamah be flogged. Qudamah was angry with Umar and avoided him until Umar went on pilgrimage, and Qudamah حج معه مغاضبا له Until Umar was at al-Suqiya, he fell asleep, then woke up and said, "Hasten Qudamah to me, for one has come to me in a dream and said, 'Greet Qudamah, for he is your brother.'" So he sent for Qudamah, but he refused to come. Umar said, "Drag him if he refuses." When he came, Umar spoke to him and asked forgiveness, and they reconciled. Ayyub ibn Abi Tamimah said: "No one from the People of Badr was punished for drinking alcohol except him."

[The text is lengthy, so only the relevant excerpt is provided here]
6803 - Muhammad ibn Umar narrated to us, saying: Ma'mar ibn Abdullah and Abd al-Rahman ibn Abd al-Aziz told me, from al-Zuhri, from Abdullah ibn Amir ibn Rabiah, that Umar ibn al-Khattab appointed Qudamah ibn Muh ذun as the governor of Bahrain. Qudamah went out to his post and stayed there, not complaining of any injustice or any discomfort, except that he did not attend the prayers. Al-Jarud, the leader of Abd al-Qays, then came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and said: "O Commander of the Faithful, Qudamah has been drinking, and I saw a punishment from the limits of Allah that it was my duty to bring to you." Umar said, "Who will testify to what you say?" Al-Jarud replied, "Abu Huraira will testify." So Umar wrote to Qudamah, ordering him to return, and he did. Al-Jarud began to speak to Umar, saying: "Enforce this as a command from Allah." Umar asked, "Are you a witness or an opponent?" Al-Jarud replied, "I am a witness." Umar said, "You should have given your testimony," and al-Jarud fell silent. Then al-Jarud went to him again the next day and said: "Enforce the punishment on this one." Umar replied, "I see nothing but an opponent here, and no one will testify against him except one man. By Allah, you will either control your tongue or I will make you unhappy." Al-Jarud said, "By Allah, it is not right that your relative drinks and this should upset me." Umar restrained him.

- .... Thumma: Isma'il ibn Muslim narrated from Abi al-Mutawakkil that al-Jarud bore witness against Qudamah that he drank alcohol, and Umar said: "Do you have another witness?" He replied: "No." Umar then said: "O al-Jarud, I do not see you except to be flogged." Al-Jarud said: "Your son-in-law drinks, and I am to be flogged?" Then Alqamah the eunuch said to Umar: "Do you allow the testimony of a eunuch?" Umar replied: "What is it about a eunuch that their testimony would not be accepted?" Alqamah said: "I testify that I saw him vomiting it." Umar said: "He did not vomit it until he drank it," and he upheld him and then administered the prescribed punishment.
- And Abd al-Razzaq narrated in his Musannaf a lengthy Hadith about Qudamah that does not mention Alqamah, summarized as follows: Abdullah ibn Amir ibn Rabi'ah said that Umar ibn al-Khattab appointed Qudamah ibn Mukhdum over Bahrain, and he was the maternal uncle of Hafsah. Al-Jarud, the leader of Abd al-Qays, came to Umar from Bahrain and testified against Qudamah that he drank and was intoxicated. Umar asked, "Who will testify with you?" He replied, "Abu Huraira." So he called him, and Umar said: "What do you testify?" He replied: "I saw him drunk, vomiting." Umar wrote to Qudamah, summoning him, until he came to him, and Umar asked him. Al-Jarud said: "O Commander of the Faithful, establish on this the Book of Allah." Umar said: "I do not see you except as an adversary, and no one testified with you." Al-Jarud replied: "I beseech you by Allah." Umar said: "You will either hold your tongue, or I will punish you." Al-Jarud said: "By Allah, it is not right that your son-in-law drinks alcohol, and you punish me!" Abu Huraira then said: "O Commander of the Faithful, if you doubt our testimony, send for his wife, Hind bint al-Walid, and ask her." So Umar sent for Hind, and she testified against her husband, and Umar punished him. Qudamah became angry with Umar for some time, and both performed Hajj, remaining upset with each other. When they finished their Hajj and Umar settled at al-Suqiya, he fell asleep there and then woke up in a fright, saying: "Bring Qudamah to me quickly, for by Allah, I see someone coming to me." He then said to me: "O Umar, greet Qudamah, for he is your brother." However, Qudamah refused to come to him. Umar ordered that he be brought to him, and when he was brought, Umar spoke to him and sought forgiveness for him.

- .... And al-Zuhri narrated, saying: Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Rabi'ah informed me that al-Jarud, the leader of Banu Abd al-Qais, and Abu Hurayrah witnessed against Qudamah ibn Muz'oun that he drank alcohol, and Umar intended to flog him. Qudamah said, "You do not have that right, for Allah, the Exalted, says: {There is no blame upon those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have eaten} (al-Ma'idah 5:93)." Umar replied, "You have misunderstood the interpretation, O Qudamah. If you are pious, you will avoid what Allah, the Exalted, has forbidden to you." Therefore, they did not impose the same ruling on Qudamah as they did on those who drank it in the Levant, and his situation was not the same as theirs because those others consumed it while deeming it permissible, and considering permissible what Allah has made forbidden is disbelief. That is why they sought repentance from them. However, Qudamah ibn Muz'oun did not drink it while deeming it permissible; rather, he interpreted the verse to mean that the state he was in and the presence of the quality mentioned by Allah, the Exalted, in the verse, were expiating for his sins, namely His words: {There is no blame upon those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have eaten} (al-Ma'idah 5:93). He believed that he was among the people of this verse and that he did not deserve punishment for drinking it, despite his conviction of its prohibition, and that his good deeds could atone for his wrongdoing.

- .... Al-Bukhari narrated from Abdullah ibn Uyayash ibn Abi Rabi'ah, who said: Umar appointed Qudamah ibn Mazyun as governor over Bahrain, and he had indeed participated in the Battle of Badr, and he was the maternal uncle of Ibn Umar and Hafsah, the wife of the Prophet. Al-Barqani added: Then al-Jarud arrived from Bahrain and said, "O Commander of the Faithful, Qudamah ibn Mazyun has drunk an intoxicant," and I felt that when I saw a limit set by Allah, it was my duty to report it to you. Umar said to him, "Who will testify to me about what you say?" Abu Hurayrah replied: So Umar called Abu Hurayrah and said, "What will you testify to, O Abu Hurayrah?" He said, "I did not see him when he drank, but I saw him drunk and vomiting." Umar said, "You have been meticulous in your testimony." Then Umar wrote to Qudamah, who was in Bahrain, commanding him to come to him. When Qudamah came and al-Jarud was in Medina, al-Jarud spoke to Umar and said: "Stay on this, the Book of Allah." Umar said to al-Jarud, "Are you a witness or a foe?" Al-Jarud replied, "I am a witness." Umar said, "You could have fulfilled the testimony." So al-Jarud fell silent, then said, "You will surely know that I implore you by Allah." Umar replied, "By Allah, you will either control your tongue or I will make you regret it." Al-Jarud said, "By Allah, it is not right that your cousin drinks and I become upset." Umar threatened him, and Abu Hurayrah, while sitting, said: "O Commander of the Faithful, if you doubt our testimony, ask the daughter of al-Walid, the wife of Ibn Mazyun." So Umar sent for Hind, urging her by Allah, and Hind maintained her testimony about her husband Qudamah. Umar said: "O Qudamah, I will whip you." Qudamah replied: "By Allah, if I were to drink as you say, it would not be right for you to whip me, O Umar." Umar said: "Why, O Qudamah?" Qudamah said: "Because Allah, the Exalted, says: {There is no blame upon those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have eaten} (al-Ma'idah 5:93)." Umar replied: "You have erred in your interpretation, O Qudamah. If you fear Allah, you will avoid what Allah has forbidden." Then Umar turned to the people and said: "What do you think about whipping Qudamah?" They said: "We do not think you should whip him as long as he is in pain." So Umar refrained from whipping him for several days, then one day he arose, having made up his mind to whip him, and said to his companions: "What do you think about whipping Qudamah?" They said: "We do not think you should whip him as long as he is in pain." Umar said: "By Allah, it is better for him to meet Allah while under the whip than for me to meet Allah with this on my shoulders. By Allah, I will whip him." He said: "Bring me a whip." Then his freedman Aslam brought a small, thin whip, and Umar took it and stroked it with his hand, then said to Aslam: "I have taken you by the acknowledgment of your family. Bring me a different whip." Aslam then came to him with a full whip, and Umar ordered Qudamah to be whipped. Qudamah was angry with Umar and avoided him, and he performed Hajj while Qudamah was still avoiding Umar until they returned from their pilgrimage and Umar settled at al-Suqiya and slept there. When Umar awoke, he said: "Hasten Qudamah to me. Go and bring him to me, for by Allah, I see in my sleep that an individual came to me and said: 'Greet Qudamah, for he is your brother.'" When they came to Qudamah, he refused to go to him. So Umar ordered Qudamah to be dragged to him until Umar spoke to him and sought forgiveness for him. This was the first reconciliation between them, and this shows you the interpretation of the verse and what was mentioned about it from Ibn Abbas in the narration of al-Daraqtuni and Umar in the narration of al-Barqani, which is sound, and its elaboration is that if someone drinks alcohol and fears Allah in other matters, he would not be punished for the alcohol as no one would punish another for it. This was one of the most erroneous interpretations, and it was something that was not understood by Qudamah, but was known by those whom Allah guided to it, like Umar and Ibn Abbas. And Allah knows best.

Qudamah ibn Muḍ'oun al-Jumahi, one of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with him), interpreted this verse, and he was among those who migrated to the land of Abyssinia with his brothers, Uthman and Abdullah. He then migrated to Medina, witnessed the Battle of Badr, and was present at the time of Umar. He was the brother-in-law of Umar ibn al-Khattab, the maternal uncle of Abdullah and Hafsah. Umar ibn al-Khattab appointed him over Bahrain but then removed him when al-Jarud, the chief of Abd al-Qays, came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and testified against him for drinking alcohol. Umar said to him, "Who will testify with you?" He replied, "Abu Huraira." So, Abu Huraira came, and Umar asked him, "What do you testify?" He said, "I did not see him drinking, but I saw him drunk and vomiting." Umar said to him, "You have been overzealous in your testimony." Then Umar wrote to Qudamah to come to him, and he did. Al-Jarud said to Umar, "Administer the Book of Allah upon this one." Umar replied, "Are you a claimant or a witness?" He said, "A witness." Umar said, "You have fulfilled your testimony." Al-Jarud remained silent, then the next day he went to Umar and said, "Administer the Book of Allah on Qudamah." Umar said to him, "I see you as nothing but a claimant, and no one is testifying with you except one man." Al-Jarud said, "I implore you by Allah." Umar replied, "You will either hold your tongue or I will treat you badly." Al-Jarud said, "What- this, by Allah, O Umar, is not right! It is not right for your cousin to drink alcohol and for me to be displeased." Abu Huraira said, "If you doubt our testimony, send for the daughter of al-Walid and ask her, for she is Qudamah's wife." So Umar sent for Hind bint al-Walid, urging her by Allah, and she testified against her husband. Umar said to Qudamah, "I will impose a penalty on you." Qudamah replied, "If I had drunk as they say, you would not have the right to punish me." Umar asked, "Why not?" He replied, "Because Allah, the Exalted, says: {There is no blame upon those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have eaten} (Surah al-Mā'idah 5:93)." Umar said to him, "You have erred in your interpretation. If you fear Allah, you will avoid what is forbidden to you." Then Umar punished him while he was ill. Some of the Companions said to him, "We do not think you should flog him as long as he is sick." One day he woke up determined to flog him and said to his companions, "What do you think about flogging Qudamah?" They said, "We do not see that as right while he is in pain." Umar said, "I would prefer him to meet Allah under the whips than to meet Him in my charge." He ordered Qudamah to be flogged. Qudamah was displeased with Umar and ignored him until Umar went on pilgrimage, and Qudamah, still upset, went with him. When Umar was at al-Suqya, he fell asleep and then woke up, saying, "Hasten Qudamah to me, for a messenger has come to me in a dream and said, 'Comfort Qudamah, for he is your brother.'" So he sent for Qudamah, but he refused to come. Umar said, "Drag him if he refuses." When he came, Umar spoke to him and asked forgiveness for him, and they reconciled. Ayoub ibn Abi Tamimah said: "No one from the People of Badr was punished for drinking alcohol except him."

- .... And Qudamah ibn Muth'oon understood from Allah's statement, Most High be He: {There is no blame upon those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have eaten (Al-Ma'idah: 93)} that the blame regarding wine was lifted until 'Umar made it clear to him that it did not refer to consuming wine. And if he had contemplated the context of the verse, he would have understood its intended meaning, for it only lifted the blame from them concerning what they had eaten while being cautious about it, and that would only be by avoiding what He has forbidden of foods, so the verse does not address the unlawful in any way.

- .... And it is expressed in the past tense as an exaggeration of its certainty, and this is, as is not hidden, pertinent to the Hereafter, not to the rulings of this world. And thus, when Qudamah ibn Muz'oun drank wine during the days of Umar, he was flogged, although he was one of those present at Badr. That is, it could be said this implies a requirement for repentance in this world, and if it does not occur, he would not be held accountable for it in the Hereafter because the obligation of repentance is one of the rulings of this world.
