English translation
5670. Abū Bakr bin 'Abdur-Rahmān bin Al-Hārith narrated that his father said: "I heard 'Uthmān say: 'Avoid Khamr for it is the mother of all evils. There was a man among those who came before you who was a devoted worshipper and used to stay away from people.'" And he mentioned something similar. He said: "Avoid Khamr for, by Allāh, it can never coexist with Faith, but soon one of them will expel the other." (Sahīh)
