4034. It was narrated from Abu Dardā' that my close friend ﷺ advised me: "Do not associate anything with Allāh, even if you are cut and burned. Do not neglect any prescribed prayer deliberately, for whoever neglects it deliberately no longer has the protection of Allāh. And do not drink wine, for it is the key to all evil." (Hasan)
4034 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا رَاشِدٌ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحِمَّانِيُّ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ: أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ: «لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا، وَإِنْ قُطِّعْتَ وَحُرِّقْتَ، وَلَا تَتْرُكْ صَلَاةً مَكْتُوبَةً مُتَعَمِّدًا، فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا مُتَعَمِّدًا، فَقَدْ بَرِئَتْ مِنْهُ الذِّمَّةُ، وَلَا تَشْرَبِ الْخَمْرَ، فَإِنَّهَا مِفْتَاحُ كُلِّ شَرٍّ» بَابُ شِدَّةِ الزَّمَانِ

Polytheism (setting partners with Allah) is the greatest sin, so it should be avoided in all circumstances, no matter how severe they are. Sacrificing one's life for the sake of monotheism (Oneness of Allāh) is a cause of great pride. The greatest sin after polytheism is neglecting prayers, which is similar to disbelief. Drunkenness covers one's mind, thus it becomes easy for such a person to commit any sin. Therefore, a Muslim should avoid all kinds of intoxicants.
