Forty years. He said: How long your veins have been saturated with impurity(1).

And among(2) what they adduced as evidence is the hadith of ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Nāfiʿ, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar:

5694 – We were informed by Ziyād ibn Ayyūb, who said: We were told by Hushaym, who said: We were informed by al-ʿAwwām, from ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Nāfiʿ, who said:
Ibn ʿUmar said: I saw a man come to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, with a cup containing nabīdh, while he was at the Corner (al-Rukn), and he handed the cup to him. He raised it to his mouth, found it strong, and returned it to its owner. A man from the people said to him: O Messenger of Allah, is it forbidden? He said: "Bring the man to me." So he was brought, and he took the cup from him, then called for water and poured it into it, then raised it(3) to his mouth and frowned. Then he called for water again and poured it into it, then said: "When these vessels become agitated upon you, break their strength with water."(4)

(1) Its chain of transmission is weak due to the unknown identity of Qays ibn Wahbān – and it is said: ibn Hanān, or ibn Hammām, or ibn Hannām – for Sulaymān al-Taymī – who is Ibn Ṭarkhān – was the only one to transmit from him, and Ibn Ḥibbān alone mentioned him in "al-Thiqāt." Suwayd: he is Ibn Naṣr, and ʿAbd Allāh: he is Ibn al-Mubārak. It is in "al-Sunan al-Kubrā" under number (5183).
His saying: "jurāyrah"; al-Sindī said: it is the diminutive of al-jarrah (the jar).
(2) Before it in (R) and (M) there is an addition: Chapter.
(3) In (R) and (M): and he raised it.
(4) A rejected (munkar) hadith, and this chain of transmission is weak. ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Nāfiʿ – who is al-Shaybānī al-Kūfī, the nephew of al-Qaʿqāʿ, and is called Ibn al-Qaʿqāʿ – was declared weak by Ibn Maʿīn, al-Bukhārī, al-ʿUqaylī, Ibn Ḥibbān, and al-Dāraquṭnī, and the compiler declared him unknown immediately following the next hadith, as did Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, Abū Ḥātim, and Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim. The rest of the narrators in the chain are trustworthy. Hushaym: he is Ibn Bashīr al-Sulamī, and al-ʿAwwām: he is Ibn Ḥawshab al-Shaybānī. It is in "al-Sunan al-Kubrā" under number (5184).
We say: What is authentically established from Ibn ʿUmar contradicts this hadith, as the compiler mentioned immediately following the next hadith, for it is authentically reported from him as a stopped (mawqūf) narration – as previously cited under number (5581) – that he said to a man: I forbid you from intoxicants, whether little of them or much. =
