Amongst there narrators if ‘Abdullah ibn Abu Ya’fur who would consume intoxicants and a habitual drunkard, just as his ‘pious’ predecessors.
كان إذا أصابته هذه الأوجاع فإذا اشتدت به شرب الحسو من النبيذ فسكن عنه فدخل على أبي عبد الله فأخبره بوجعه وانه إذا شرب الحسو من النبيذ سكنه فقال له:
لا تشرب ، فلما أن رجع إلي الكوفة هاج به وجعه فأقبل أهله فلم يزالوا به
حتى شرب فساعة شرب منه سكن عنه فعاد إلى أبي عبد الله فأخبره بوجعه وشربه فقال له: يا أبن أبي يعفور
لا تشرب فأنه حرام إنما هو الشيطان موكل بك ولو قد يئس منك ذهب
He would suffer from body pain and whenever it would get severe then he would drink a broth of Nabidh, which would grant him relief from the pain. He entered upon Ja`far al-Sadiq and informed him of his ailment and that he is relieved from it when he drinks a broth of Nabidh. Imam Ja`far said to him:
“Do not drink this!” When he returned to Kufah, the pain returned too. He went to his family and the pain did not dissipate
until he drank the broth. As soon as he drank it the pain stopped. He then returned to Imam Ja`far and informed him of his pain and the drink (that alleviates it). Imam Ja`far replied: “O Ibn Abu Ya’fur!
Do not drink this as it is haram.
Verily it is Shaytan who is affecting you, if he loses hope in affecting you then he will leave.” (Bihar Al-Anwar by Al-Majlisi, v. 59, p.85)
