3384 - حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْقُدُّوسِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ثَوْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَذْهَبُ اللَّيَالِي وَالْأَيَّامُ، حَتَّى تَشْرَبَ فِيهَا، طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الْخَمْرَ، يُسَمُّونَهَا بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهَا»

Commentary
The reason for citing the acts that will appear prior to the Day of Judgment is that the believers should try their best to shun it. Changing the names of prohibited things does not change their rulings; such as calling usury as interest or markup—this does not change its reality. Similarly, wine does not become lawful if it is named as drink, spirituous liquors or soft drink.
