حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَلاَةً أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا فَإِنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ عَادَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَلاَةً أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا فَإِنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ عَادَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَلاَةً أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا فَإِنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ عَادَ الرَّابِعَةَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَلاَةً أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا فَإِنْ تَابَ لَمْ يَتُبِ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَقَاهُ مِنْ نَهْرِ الْخَبَالِ " . قِيلَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَمَا نَهْرُ الْخَبَالِ قَالَ نَهْرٌ مِنْ صَدِيدِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ نَحْوُ هَذَا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .

Qutaybah narrated to us: Jarir ibn ‘Abd al-Hamid narrated to us, from ‘Ata’ ibn al-Sa’ib, from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Ubayd ibn ‘Umayr, from his father, who said: ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Whoever drinks wine, Allah will not accept his prayer for forty mornings. If he repents, Allah will accept his repentance. If he returns to it, Allah will not accept his prayer for forty mornings; if he repents, Allah will accept his repentance. If he returns to it, Allah will not accept his prayer for forty mornings; if he repents, Allah will accept his repentance. If he returns to it a fourth time, Allah will not accept his prayer for forty mornings. If he repents, Allah will not accept his repentance, and He will give him to drink from the River of al-Khabal.” They asked, “Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman, what is the River of al-Khabal?” He replied, “A river of the pus of the people of the Fire.”
Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is hasan. A similar report has been transmitted from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amr and Ibn ‘Abbas, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The source states that after the fourth return to drinking, even if the person repents, Allah will not accept that repentance and he will be given to drink from the River of al-Khabal. The English witness contains typographical errors in this repeated passage; the sequence and conditions are translated from Arabic.

قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَلاَةً أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا فَإِنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ عَادَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَلاَةً أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا فَإِنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ عَادَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَلاَةً أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا فَإِنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ عَادَ الرَّابِعَةَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَلاَةً أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا فَإِنْ تَابَ لَمْ يَتُبِ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَقَاهُ مِنْ نَهْرِ الْخَبَالِ " .
The English witness contains typographical errors in the repetitions; the Arabic has three repentance responses before the fourth return and a distinct consequence after that fourth return.
Please review the sequence and repeated conditions against the Arabic.
