حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ أَبِي مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ لَنَا فِي الْخَمْرِ بَيَانَ شِفَاءٍ فَنَزَلَتِ الَّتِي فِي الْبَقَرَةِ : ( يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ ) الآيَةَ فَدُعِيَ عُمَرُ فَقُرِئَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ لَنَا فِي الْخَمْرِ بَيَانَ شِفَاءٍ فَنَزَلَتِ الَّتِي فِي النِّسَاءِأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلاَةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُكَارَى ) فَدُعِيَ عُمَرُ فَقُرِئَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ لَنَا فِي الْخَمْرِ بَيَانَ شِفَاءٍ فَنَزَلَتِ الَّتِي فِي الْمَائِدَةِ : ( إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ يُوقِعَ بَيْنَكُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَالْبَغْضَاءَ فِي الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ ) إِلَى قَوْلِهَِ ( فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُنْتَهُونَ ) فَدُعِيَ عُمَرُ فَقُرِئَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ انْتَهَيْنَا انْتَهَيْنَا . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مُرْسَلٌ . حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي مَيْسَرَةَ، عَمْرِو بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ لَنَا فِي الْخَمْرِ بَيَانَ شِفَاءٍ . فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ .

‘Umar ibn al-Khattab used to pray: ‘O Allah, make the ruling on wine clear to us in a healing, decisive way.’ Then the verse in al-Baqarah was revealed: “They ask you about wine and gambling…” (Qur’an 2:219). ‘Umar was summoned and it was recited to him. He prayed again, “O Allah, make the ruling on wine clear to us in a healing, decisive way.” Then the verse in al-Nisa’ was revealed: “Believers, do not approach prayer while intoxicated…” (Qur’an 4:43). ‘Umar was summoned and it was recited to him. He prayed again, “O Allah, make the ruling on wine clear to us in a healing, decisive way.” Then the verse in al-Ma’idah was revealed: “Satan only seeks to sow enmity and hatred among you through wine and gambling…” through “Will you not then abstain?” (Qur’an 5:91). ‘Umar was summoned, it was recited to him, and he said, “We abstain! We abstain!” Abu ‘Isa noted that this report is also transmitted as mursal.
A second chain through Abu Maysarah (‘Amr ibn Shurahbil) reports ‘Umar’s supplication and a similar account; Abu ‘Isa said this version is more sound than the one through Muhammad ibn Yusuf.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The report presents the successive revelations that progressively addressed wine, culminating in ‘Umar’s response to Qur’an 5:91.
Abu ‘Isa notes a mursal version and prefers the alternate chain through Abu Maysarah.
