Commentary
1. The purpose of the Tradition is that these actions are the repudiation of faith. Faith cannot tolerate these things. It stops one from them. It does not mean that he becomes an unbeliever. For details, please see narration 4873.
2. This narration proves the enormity of drinking wine, because it is shown to be the negation of Faith or Imân. Even otherwise, drinking wine obligates the prescribed legal punishment, and the action which calls for the implementation of the prescribed legal punishment happens to be an enormity; adultery, theft, and highway robbery are all included among enormities.
