Chapter on the Virtue of Mosques and Prayer Within Them, and the Virtue of Congregational Prayer and Its Rulings

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلْمُخْتَارِ عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ زَيْدٍ اَلشَّحَّامِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَوْلُ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ« لاٰ تَقْرَبُوا اَلصَّلاٰةَ وَ أَنْتُمْ سُكٰارىٰ» قَالَ« سُكْرُ اَلنَّوْمِ»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Hammad ibn Isa from al-Husayn ibn al-Mukhtar from Abu Usamah Zayd al-Shahham who said: I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, regarding the saying of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic: Do not approach the prayer while you are intoxicated’ (Surah An Nisa 4:43). Imam عليه السلام said: “(It is referring to) ‘the intoxication of sleep’.”
