(8). 3049. 'Amr bin Shuraḥbīl [Abū Maisarah] narrated, from 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb, that he said: "O Allāh! Make the verdict concerning Khamr sufficiently clear for us!" So (the Āyah) in Al-Baqarah was revealed: They ask you concerning Khamr and gambling. Say: "In them is a great sin."[1] So 'Umar was called, and it was recited to him, so he said: "O Allāh! Make the verdict concerning Khamr sufficiently clear for us!" So (the Āyah) in An-Nisā' was revealed: 'O you who believe! Approach not Aṣ-Ṣalāt while you are in a drunken state.'[2] So 'Umar was called and it was recited to him, so he said: "O Allāh! Make the verdict concerning Khamr sufficiently clear for us!" So (the Āyah) in Al-Mā'idah was revealed: Shaitān only wants to excite enmity and hatred between you with Khamr and gambling...[3] up to His saying: 'So will you not then abstain.'[3] So 'Umar was called and it was recited to him, so he said: 'We abstained, we abstained.'(Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] [This Ḥadīth] was reported from Isrā'īl in Mursal form.
(9). Abū Maisarah narrated from 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb who said: "O Allāh! Make the verdict concerning Khamr sufficiently clear for us!" (Da'if)
And he mentioned similarly, and this is more correct than the Ḥadīth of Muḥammad bin Yūsuf.[1]

Commentary
This Ḥadīth tells that the prohibition of intoxicants was revealed gradually. It has been declared clearly in Sūrat Al-Mā'idah that the ill-effects and evil consequences of intoxicants and gambling have become clear to you at various occasions, incidents and from various aspects. Would you still not avoid those!? Is there still any shadow of doubt remaining!?
